I heard this was the 1st time since 1973 two guys had 5+ wins, I think it was Nicklaus and Weiskopf that year. Thought for sure Tiger and Vijay had done it once or twice but guess not. Pretty amazin

True, I know Tiger moves the needle and I'm a huge fan of Tiger but I have to say I'm pretty excited about golf right now.  You have the young guns, Day, Spieth, Rory, DJ, and Fowler dominating, and a

Poll added.

I voted for Spieth because the Masters is my favorite major :-)

Seriously though, it's not an easy call but two majors in a row is big deal.

Huge what-if but if Jordan misses the cut at the next two events, how does that change the POTY discussion?

By itself, it doesn't shouldn't.  Especially considering that he'll likely still be in the top 5 come Atlanta and would have an equal shot at winning the whole shebang as Day, Bubba Watson, and whoever else rounds out the top 5 (DJ, ZJ, Stenson, Rose, etc)

But if he were to miss the cut (or just perform poorly) at all three remaining events, and Day were to win one of them and/or the Fedex Cup, then Spieths POY is probably in jeopardy.

Lol if anyone believes Jordan won't be in contention this week.

Did you have the same sentiment last week at the Barclays?

Jason Day: 4 Wins, 1 Major (T28, T9, T4, 1st), 9 top 10 PGA Tour events out of 16 events.

Jordan Spieth: 4 Wins, 2 Majors (1st, 1st, T4, 2nd), 14 top 10 PGA Tour events out of 21 events

If Jason Day keeps wins a few more of these tournaments I think he might overtake Spieth. These four tournaments have some of the toughest competition all year.

As of right now my vote is with Spieth. If jason could have put together another win, maybe a top 10 finish at the Masters then he would be very very close.

Don't get me wrong, I'm really glad to see Day breakthrough and starting to win like we all knew he could but I think some folks are going a little overboard on the JD bandwagon. 2 Majors+ a legitimate shot at the GS (top 3s in other 2 majors) far surpasses  the PGA + FedEx IMO. We're all prone to the 'what have you done for me lately' mentality, but IMO there isn't much of discussion to be had here.

It's player of the year, not player of the Majors.

If Day wins the season long point race, surely that has to account for something.

Day can actually reach World No. 1 status with a win and help in Boston next weekend.

I think he needs to win another event on top of next week. He's still a bit behind. Couldn't find any articles that said he could get to number one this weekend. He's two points back which is close but not close enough.

Oh, and did we mention that either Day or Spieth could supplant Rory McIlroy as the world No. 1 at this week's Deutsche Bank Championship? But Day, who will play with Spieth and Bubba Watson again in the first two rounds at TPC Boston, knows he can't obsess over it

[quote] The ongoing battle for golf's world No. 1 ranking between Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth could be interrupted by a third party this week. As expected, McIlroy reclaimed the top spot when the point totals were recalculated Monday, following Spieth's two-week reign in that position. But Jason Day, who won the Barclays by a half-dozen strokes this past weekend, could mathematically overtake each of them for No. 1 this week. All three players will be competing in the Deutsche Bank Championship, which begins Friday and concludes Monday. [b]If Day wins and McIlroy and Spieth each finish lower than second place, Day would become the 19th player since the world ranking's inception in 1986 to ascend to that honor.[/b][/quote]

If Day does not win the fedex, he will have to wait, and try again next year. That said they both have had a great 2015 season. Perhaps, for the good of pro golf, a co-poty for both of them.

The only way Day gets the nod, is if he runs the table over the next 3 weeks.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

So he needs to win the Deutsche Bank, the bye week and the BMW championship?!

      Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
