Let's have a little fun. For anything that happened in 2019, let's give out any awards. They can be serious, mocking/sarcastic, silly… whatever.

I'll start with a few…

Tour Caddie's Favorite PlayerBryson DeChambeau!

Most Surprising Major Winner - Tiger Woods, 2019 Masters

Tool of the Year - Bryson again!

Most Disappointing Player - Tiger Woods… until the Zozo. Seriously, he wins the first major and then vanishes until November?

Irishman of the Year - Shane Lowry can beat up Rory McIlroy, so, sorry Rors.

I'll gladly accept the award ("I'd like to thank...") for "Most Patient at Sitting out 9 Months with 2 Torn Tendons in His Right Elbow".  BTW, that is the main reason you've all had to suffer me on this forum for the last 9 months.

Sure, but I'll bet Rory can drink Lowry under the table at an Irish Pub.  And can attract better looking partners.

Player One Least Wants to Keep Score for the Group: Patrick Reed:  camera angle?

Comeback Player of the Year: El Tigre. If you are a Tiger fan boy like me, the Masters was validation for my undying faith.  Zozo was just more validation for we fan boys and girls.

Least Exciting Superstar: Brooks Koepka - the guy looks like a stud and creates energy like a dud.  I sometimes wonder what the three members of the "Koepka Fan Boy Club" see in their hero.

2019 Glacial Pace Award - wannabe Physicist Bryson DeChambeau. Alas, BD forgot time is also a variable in science.

Best Tour Nickname given by my wife - Cupcake for Brooks Koepka. She thinks he’s cute and everybody like cupcakes.

Wish I Hadn’t Asked for That Award - Abraham Ancer for wanting to have Tiger in the singles round at the President’s Cup.  He’s now part of one of the all time great walk-off winning putt videos ever. It will be shown in a loop at the Golf Hall of Fame for the next 100 years.

2nd Best Moment - bestest moment obvs being Tigs winning the Masters, but honestly, Amy Bockerstette and her moment at the Waste Management was just AWESOME. I've watched it half a dozen times and have teared up for most of them.

    • Day 518 - 2026-03-03 Mirror work today. Got our Radmor hoodies. If you'd like a Golf Evolution hoodie… let me know. 🙂 
    • I know what those are, and they were unofficial. They were mostly to create conversation… and promote Mark McCormack's own clients. What Matt said is correct: Tiger's career spanned 24 years. Regardless, 15 > 19 when factoring in the competition, and 82 >> 72 when doing so.
    • The McCormack rankings started in 1968. They used a nearly identical methodology as the original Sony rankings. except it was a three year look back vs two. Number of good years and total output is what matters when talking about the span of career.  All years are not created equally.
    • The OWGR didn't even exist until Jack was 46 years old. So… What he said is true. Jack turned pro in 1961. He won his last PGA Tour event in 1986. That's 26 years. Tiger turned pro in 1996. He last won a PGA Tour event in late 2019. That's a span of 24 years. What he said is true. Tiger's "career" (not counting 2020-2024 where he played a handful of events each year, like Jack often would) lasted 24 years.
    • People don't realize it because it isn't true.   Tiger had the following money list rankings in years you are counting as part of his career span. 68, 128, 201, 162, NA, NA, 24, 38, 223, 225   Nicklaus didn't drop out of the top 10 in the world golf rankings until he was 44. Nicklaus had 10 more years where he had a top ten finish in a major than Tiger has had as of now.
