Greg Norman and Fred Couples

**Clubswinger21** · April 19, 2009

2 of my all time favorite players, they're still both long off the tee and pretty good ballstrikers. We all know the putters holding Fred down, but do you think either of them will pull out a victory this year on the PGA tour, before they hit the Champions?

Im pulling for both of them, id say they both still have a fair chance at it.

Probably not, Boom Boom would have the best chance imho.

I'd like to see it happen, but with the talent of the younger players on tour I doubt it will happen. That said this is golf and anything is possible.

there's still a chance! freddy was contending in houston the other week before falling away so they are proving that they still know how to play the game!

I can see Freddie giving it another few runs, maybe getting lucky and picking up another W.

Greg Norman - no chance, unless we get even higher winds at this year's British Open. He just doesn't play enough, and when he plays, he doesn't play well enough.

Norman took the time to sign with Taylormade and just got re-fitted for a new R9. All signs point to him being serious about playing golf and winning again, whether it be on the champions or PGA. I'll agree both have outside chances but its still definetely possible.

Couples got unlucky in Houston when he had to play 54 holes in 2 days and was clearly dog tired for those last three holes he bogeyed. He was in the lead until then. So he has a shot at a win. Norman would be real long shot because his game isn't PGA Tour sharp.

I don't understand why Fred hasn't improved his putting stroke. Not everyone is a good putter, but his stroke is really not good compared to his swing.

I don't understand why Fred hasn't improved his putting stroke. Not everyone is a good putter, but his stroke is really not good compared to his swing.

Due to his bad back, he has been physically unable to practice putting for any extended period of time. Thus, he never could consistently improve his putting.

Norman is already part of the Champions Tour, has been for awhile, and has already played an event this year. He has chosen in the past just to play in the occasional "major" on the Champions Tour.

Being that he's over 50 i realize that.. I cant even remember the last champions tour event i watched but he's played 2 pga tour events in the shell houston and the masters and 1 Champions tour event this year? Im sure he'll be playing as much as he can on the PGAtour as he can. Merely pointing that out.

I'd certainly love to see both of them pull it off!!!!!

They've provided us with some great golf entertainment over the years and both still have tons of game.

**flanagan** · April 20, 2009

If Norman chooses to play more that would be great, but he really hasn't indicated a burning desire to do so. If you are looking for him on the PGA Tour you'll likely be disappointed. It doesn't yet appear he's committed to much on the senior tour for this year.

**saltman** · April 20, 2009

If Norman committed himself to the game today, he would be a top-50 player no doubt. He has the body of a 30 year old, he just needs more rounds.

Norman is content being married and making money on his other projects, and who can blame him the Tour is def a grind, as for Freddie, would love to see him win, he normally contends a handfull of times a year, so he has a chance. I think that Couples would do it before "The Shark", but would love to see both of them, grew up watching those guys toward the middle/end of their primes.

**apex53** · April 23, 2009

I would love to see Freddie win once more on the PGA Tour, he still hits it long enough and his iron play is superb... He's made more than his fair share of bombs but the 2 and 3 footers have cost him over the course of his career... As long as he's playing I'll be rooting for Freddie

**HSip** · April 23, 2009

I think Freddie has a better chance (Norman just doesn't play enough anymore). Plus if Freddie could get the flatstick working he'd probably win more than once.
