I downloaded the video after the PGA Tour issued a takedown notice on the first version of that edit.

Was it this? Assuming this doesn't get taken down, lol.

It's an exhibition event and nobody is going to get more eyeballs and more publicity for the President's Cup than Tiger Woods. It's an absolute no brainer for him to play as long as he's healthy, IMO.

I have never been excited for a Presidents' Cup, and this year won't be any different. Seriously, just give the US the W already and lets move on.

Who took the video down?   And why?  I'm not understanding this.

PGA Tour taking down any of the unofficial clips on the interwebs. It wants people to watch the actual broadcast, guessing.

Especially if the rumor is true that right's fee is going from 400 to 700 million a year.

6554b6be8c0d829a8bf63ae0c82cf121_link.pn Couples: Woods sat because body wasn't right

Tiger Woods received all sorts of criticism on Saturday of the Presidents Cup when he decided to sit himself out of both sessions with his team...

I think it was a good thing he sat.

It's the busiest day to be a captain, with eight matches, partner decisions, afternoon pairings to make, etc.

If he didn't play in the morning, it takes him 3 hours to warm up, so he wasn't gonna play in the afternoon. And the morning matches started really early, so… he probably wasn't gonna play those.

His captaining took more attention.

I thought it was fine that he sat out on Saturday.

Quote

"At about 10 o'clock, (Woods) said, 'Guys, my body is not going to let me go. I'm not going to play this afternoon,'" Couples said on the radio. "Of course, Stricker hopped on and said, 'Tiger please, can you go in right now and get loose and warm.' He said, 'Strick, I can't do it.' Zach said, "Tiger, are you sure, you sure?' (Woods) said, 'I believe in the team,' and I'm like, 'Yeah, so do I, but I believe that you need to be playing.'''

That implies to me that:

  • He knows it takes him a while to warm up.
  • Had he left that early to warm up, there'd be nobody captaining the squad. I think he can only give captain duties to someone else when he's playing, not whenever he wants to just because he's in the physio trailer or something.

That said, it was cooler on Saturday, so, whatever.

I can't help but think that Tiger isn't happy that Freddy gave out that information.  

Neither is Ancer.

I enjoyed this President's Cup very much!  I liked the challenge of the International team plus I have always Liked Els as a player!  Golf is just exponentially better when Tiger Woods is playing well.

Leadership?  Good grief.  :doh:

They got smoked in the team matches.  They played well as the prima donna individuals that they are.  If anything, it was a leadership failure.  But hey, it’s Tiger, I get it.   

That's your insight? Are you brand new to watching these types of matches? The U.S. typically gets smoked in the team events! We don't play a whole lot of Four Ball or Foursomes on our side of the pond! 

Several times a Summer. when we have 4 guys, we'll make 2 man teams and scramble against each other. One time I suggested that we play Foursomes. Nobody knew what the Hell I was talking about so I explained it to them. They all started shaking their heads and flapping their hands! "No way we're playing that game, dude!" Scared them to death!

And Tiger has said this outright at several tournaments earlier this year. It takes him a long time to get that old body ready to play! Considering his back, that should not be surprising. And what a lot of people don't realize is that there are a lot of things like banquets, cocktail parties, meet and greets, media obligations and such during a Ryder or President's Cup. A lot of demands on your time! 

I'm just happy with the outcome and impressed with Tiger's captaincy! 

And thank you to @nevets88 for finding that footage. Tiger said in his post round interview that he knew it was in 6 feet from the hole. Looks more like 12 in that clip!

      Water in Bunker

      By iacas ·

      Yes. If you choose to take the ball out of the bunker instead of taking maximum available relief… it costs a stroke.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By TourSpoon ·

      I got another one today....Number 17. Par 5 that has water left and right on the layup. I smacked a drive down the left side and got a little lazy on the layup and fanned my 6 iron. With 112 to a crowned green I got it to 3 feet and birdie!  Only 5 and 15 is left for this year!

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      Maybe I didn’t explain this properly. Back and front can be confusing.  There was no place in the bunker that didn’t have 2-3 inches of rain water in it, except for a small spot on the slope nearest the pin. If I had dropped there I would be moving 6-7 feet closer to the hole. Since my ball was just inside the bunker, farthest side from the hole, I dropped one club length backward, which brought me out of the bunker. I could not have hit from that deep of water. Are you saying I would have had to take a penalty stroke due to rain water?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 550, May 5, 2024 Got a good hour in with a typical (for me) two-stick setup: pool noodle angled in front, yardstick on the ground angled 45° behind me.
