In today’s PGW Daily, everyone is excited for the Web.com finals, the European Tour introduces a fun ‘Beat the Pros’ contest, and Beef is doing Beef things!
Withdrawing
Thomas Pieters gives fans an explanation after withdrawing from the European Tour’s KLM Open. Fortunately for him, he already has a Ryder Cup spot (Captain’s pick).

Practice Video of the Day
Jhonattan Vegas getting in some practice before the BMW Championship. The sound on this one is very satisfying.
Opinion of the Day
Journalist Piers Morgan is not going to make a lot of friends on the PGA Tour saying things like that.
Just wondering what your opinion was on the golfers who withdrew from the Olympics.

Pathetic.
Thankfully @JustinRose99 put the game before his ego/wallet. https://t.co/2L2h4p0dii— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) September 8, 2016
Athlete Diets
If you want to look and perform like an elite athlete, you need to eat like one. This is Lexi Thompson’s dinner from last night.
From the looks of it, Thompson seems to be a very credible source.
My #wcw is @Lexi she is beautiful and the best golfer. Can I get a rt or follow. pic.twitter.com/aI3b23JkQT

Beef Post of the Day
That might be the best caddie bib ever. Andrew ‘Beef’ Johnston is one of the favorites to earn a PGA Tour card at the Web.com finals.
Keeping it casual.

Euro Tour’s Beat The Pro!
The European Tour is light years ahead of the PGA Tour when it comes to engaging fans. This week at the KLM Open, amateurs are getting an opportunity to beat the pro they’re following on the tee shot at the par-3 14th hole.
It's Beat The Pro time.
Following Simon Dyson is amateur Ralph de Swart. A very good effort from Ralph. #KLMOpen pic.twitter.com/7iks4AzP2s
