No doubt it's Padraig. His putting is almost as clutch as Tiger's. Ok maybe I'm getting a little out of hand.

I don't think you're out of hand. Paddy putted lights out all day Sunday. hardly missed a beat.

i don't think we need a pole. harrington won 2 majors and finished tied for 5th in the masters. let me reiterate...I am a HUGE TIGER FAN...but this award, if it were given out today, is harringtons. let's just wait until after the playoffs and start this thread again.

hands down, padraig harrington, to win two majors in incredible, it doesnt matter if they were without Tiger or not, the beat the best players in the world. He has now won 3 of the last 6 majors, the real question should be, who is the #2 player in the world, mickelson or harrington?

This is not unlike the year that Duval dominated the world but O'Meara won two majors. Impossible to ignore and it all adds up to player of the year. I love Norman too but he will be the first to tell you that 3 rounds in a row does not matter in a major... especially the first three!

Tiger was clearly the best (again) when he was healthy and what he did at the US Open was simply amazing but to me there's no question who the player of the year is. Padraig Harrington.

If someone wins two majors and does not get player of the year award that is just not fair. It should go the Paddy.

Paddy Or Tiger?

You are right. His win at the PGA Championship nailed it down for him. How can anyone say Tiger or anyone else, when Paddy won 50% of the Majors played, and successfully defended his Open Championship title in the process? 32 on the back nine on Sunday in both of his Major wins?? He not only won; he CHARGED to victory in both cases!!

Does one have to play a certain number of PGA tour events to qaulify for PGA player of the year? If so I wonder if Padraig qaulifies? He surely will be the European tour player of the year.

Paddy does qualify, but it is interesting that you ask the question. In 1990, Nick Faldo won the Masters and the Open Championship and WAS NOT elected the PGA Tour Player of the Year!!

Wayne Levi, with four victories, beat out Greg Norman in the poll of the Tour players. Faldo was ineligible for the award since he was NOT a member of the Tour.

Vijay keeps this roll going and he is (if not already) into the mix. Now #1 on the money list and won big tournaments here at the end of the season.

I think he'll have to win all 4 "playoff" events to get that honor, you don't deserve POTY honors if you are missing cuts in majors IMO.

My vote would be for Padraig

as much as I am not a fan of "the Irish woodchuck", I think he is most deserving this year.

Had Tiger putted slightly better at the Master's and won, then he would have it hands down.

Paddy is the guy. Which makes this playoff system look VERY bad, as he's not top-30 for the tour Championship.

      Golf Tips for Hitting Longer Driver (Tips for Both Men and Women)

      By Wilkerson Allen ·

      Hi everyone, I'm looking to improve my driving distance. I’ve been playing golf for a few years now, and while my accuracy has gotten better, I’m still struggling to get the distance I want off the tee. I play regularly with both men and women, so any advice that applies to both would be fantastic. For some context, I’ve tried adjusting my stance and swing, but I feel like I might be missing some key golf techniques or drills. Has anyone here successfully increased their driving distance? What specific tips or changes worked for you? Whether it's about grip, posture, swing mechanics, or even mental approach, I’m open to all suggestions! Looking forward to hearing your experiences and advice! Thanks!

      I don't know… The TaylorMade Tiger Woods grinds were decent. I like narrow soles with a lot of bounce (lots of camber) and good heel/toe relief.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 33 (3 Jun 24) - In between working on my bass guitar and its wiring issues, I was able to take the putter and roll some putts on the carpet in the shop.  Spent time with the lead arm as I usually putt with it tucked close  and then doing the lead arm chicken wing.  Interesting how the feel and pace is different.  Had seen a fellow golfer using it last week when we were playing.  Overall it was good to do an easy day of putting for pace and overall distance control from 10' in.

      Gotcha. Good to know. I'll have to test them.Any other specific models/grinds from major OEMs (not Edel) that you like and/or have a good blend of narrow sole but enough bounce? I said Non Edel just so I'd be able to test in person/have a variety of buying options
