Good question and one that many are talking about.

What's your answer, @Scotsclaff ? You should vote in the poll.

I voted Tiger. He's improved every day and has looke sharper, I think, than Rory.

They are both somewhat out of reach from Spieth, but Tiger has a lot more to gain with a top 10 or 5 finish.  Not that Rory will go into a coma, but to finish 4th or 5th would be a good showing with a good payday, but for Tiger it would be an enormous start to a comeback.  I have to admit that Tiger has surprised me.

I voted Woods even though I'm massive Rory fanboy. I just think Tiger is hungrier. Rory will play hard but I don't think second place is as important to him as it is to Tiger in the present circumstances. Tiger NEEDS this for a whole pile of reasons whereas Rory has lots of road ahead of him. Edit* @NJpatbee posted at the same time as me. If I had seen his post I may have just said "ditto".

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I went with Woody. He seems to have the better game right now.

Rory and Tiger trying to outgun each other tomorrow?

Who will shoot lowest??

The situation reminds me of a few years ago when Tiger and Phil were paired together in the final round of the US Open (the 2nd Bethpage Open?) when they were out of it and they just lit it up.

Neither will win, but wouldn't it be cool to see Tiger and Rory throw 65s at each other?

As to the poll, it's a coin flip.  So I vote Heads.  No wait Tails.  Yeah tails.  No wait, Heads . . . .

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I will be a great matchup, but I think they are both more focused on Jordan and trying to get closer, than they are on each other.

I'll vote Woods. Rory just seems a little bit shakier this week, despite their equal scores.

I think Rory will shoot lower because of his temprament(spelling),you will see Tiger losing it again at least a couple of times during the final round.

Speith by two.

I have money on Phil though.

I voted Rory. I predict he's gonna shoot 66 and Tiger shoots one over. Just a premonition.

Man, am I good. It's like I can see the future! ;-)

I just saw this poll right now, but I would have voted for Rory by a couple of strokes, why? Tiger even though he shot a low score yesterday, seemed erratic and I felt both would be taking slightly higher risk reward shots putting a premium on the drive- something  I felt tiger was not demonstrating very well on days 1-3.

Hind site is 20 20 but tiger went 1 fairway for the first 13 holes a lousy way to score.

I think Rory played better because he found out he was going to get to sing with One Direction in concert. :-D

Tiger worked on this short game, but the long game still needs tweaking. IF he continues working and competing more frequently, then we can expect great duels.

Of course, when they asked him yesterday  when he will play next, he said  not for a while.

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).  
    • Wordle 1,003 3/6 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩   felt a little like Wyndham when the first three green and I began the fist pump…
    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
