Another "neither" vote!  Why would he want the hassle of commissioner and his legs cannot holdout for long for the Champions tour.

You can't vote "neither." It says which is more likely, not "which do you think he'll do, or neither."

I voted Champions Tour, though it is a close call.  I am not sure he has the temperament to be the commissioner.  He has not had a life where he has had to facilitate compromise, and I think that is probably an important part of being commissioner.  Plus, I believe he wants to compete even if his body disagrees!

Answering the unasked question, I'd prefer Champs tour since it would be more fun to watch him play than sit behind a desk!

He can ride in a cart on the Champions Tour.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I really can't see the commissioner route. That is a real grind and I don't see Tiger wanting to devote that much time to the Tour.  I do see him teeing it up in the Senior Majors. He may say no now, but he is just too competitive not to play.

Champions Tour, but not full time. Being commissioner would require a schedule and commitments that somebody in Tiger's position wouldn't want. Playing some senior majors and selsect tour events (including majors) seems far more likely. The Jack schedule (1990-2002/5), if he's healthy.

16-13 in favor of commissioner. Ouch!

We have our answer... errr, Jack's insider take anyway, but playing the Champions Tour seems to very much fit with Tiger's career trajectory IMO.

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
