  1. 1. Is Tiger Player of The Year?

    • Yes. He did enough to win it.
      16
    • No. You need to play a "full" season.
      7
    • Maybe. It depends if someone gets hot and wins a few times.

I believe one has to play a minimum of 16 events to qualify for The Vardon Trophy. I'm not sure if a minimum applies to Player of the Year.

To update my own post, it looks like Tiger has very good chance, based on observations by Gary Van Sickle...

"There's a good chance Tiger will once again be named Player of the Year. He has won it nine of the last 11 years. He's got four wins, two more than anyone else, and that includes a major. Phil Mickelson would have to win twice more, and one of them would have to be the British Open or the PGA Championship, just to match Tiger. Masters champion Trevor Immelman would need to win three more times. It's also almost certain that Tiger will retain the No. 1 spot in the world golf rankings. He's got a ridiculous lead over No. 2, Phil Mickelson — about twice as many points. Adam Scott, the No. 3 player, has only about a quarter of the points. Mickelson is the only player with a chance to catch Woods, and he'd pretty much have to run the table from here on out to do it. It's not going to happen. So, what's changing? Just about everything else." ( full story ) SubPar

    • Day 521 - 2026-03-06 Got some good work in for 15 minutes or so with someone overseeing. Downswing work.
    • Day 201 3-6 Wider backswing trying to blend it all together for a full swing. Not looking good yet. 
    • Day 74 - 2026-03-06 Backswing work out back at the net. Slow.
    • Day 101: did a stack session. Worked on hands down in the mirror during breaks. 
    • Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
