Yeah I feel he is still readjusting to it all. Maybe got a little of his mind on his new "cub" in the family. If anything I give him at least one.

What? Four isn't an option?

Oh, right... no amount of birdies turn back time.

I can see him winning one. If he wins the U.S. Open, it won't be a surprise. What I'd like to know is when the last time someone won two U.S. Opens consecutively at the same course ... but that's not phrased right. What I mean is winning it at course X, then winning it again the next time it is hosted at course X. Similar for the other two course-rotating majors. Clearly we know for the Masters that any back-to-back winner won it twice on the same course.

And if he doesn't win either Open, it will only add to his determination at the PGA. How many times in the 21st century has he gone a year without a major? Once?

But, 1 if he is lucky enough to get that is all..

Yes because golf is a game of luck.

I wouldn't necessarily be surprised if he won one, but if I have to bet right now, I'd have to say none.

I would say he will win 1 maybe the us open.

They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that.

I voted for just one this year. If he wins the U.S. Open though, you better believe I'm going to have re-think my vote.

I can't believe I'm saying this but ZERO. Since Tiger has been gone a lot of players have really steeped up there game. There are a lot of very good players out there right now.

Golf has a lot of luck involved..

You think Angel Cabrera hitting a tree and deflecting out into the fairway wasn't luck on that 1st playoff hole? Come on.. luck is a factor in golf..

Actually luck is a big, and good, part of the game

But one is my guess!

I'll agree with the majority one, but would not be greatly surprised if does not win any.

He's still adjusting to his comeback, and as high as he's set the bar, we the audience and fans should give him that time to adjust. His driver is more wayward (2 way misses), his irons aren't going the "usual" distance, he's streaky where he used to be solid, etc. He'll get better as the year wears on, so I'm betting he wins the PGA. The Masters, US Open and British are too soon in his comeback I think. But win majors he must, else TV golf will become quite boring.

Driver: TaylorMade RocketBallz 10.5-deg
Woods: Cobra Bio Cell+ 3W and 5W
Hybrids: Bobby Jones Workshop Hybrid 3 (20-deg) and 5 (25-deg)
Irons: Srixon XXIO7 from 6 - PW
Wedge: Srixon XXIO7 GW and SW

Putter: Bobby Grace DCT Captiva 34"; Ball: Sirxon Soft Feel; Shoes: Footjoy

I think I said none. AmenCorner said Tiger would win the PGA champs by a margin but he did not.

I don't think that Tiger will win that much next year either, of course he will come close but i don't think he will actually win any majors. There are too many emerging players who are not worried about Tiger and hit it longer than him and have short game prowess.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
