I guess he means the most thrilling to watch, but I don't think there is anyone around who watched Young Tom Morris in 1870. Don't understand why Woods is listed twice.

INSIDE GOLF
Thrill List: Golf

Story Highlights
- Arnold Palmer surpassed the speed limit with his putting at Augusta National.
- The only thing more thrilling than Tiger Woods today? Tiger Woods an an amateur.
- Greg Norman's heartbreaking losses were as memorable as his spectacular wins.

These lists are not mere compilations of all-time bests in their respective sports but all-time bests at quickening the pulse and evoking a visceral response from those fortunate enough to have witnessed their artistry.


10. Seve Ballesteros
9. Walter Hagen
8. Young Tom Morris
7. Greg Norman
6. Tiger Woods (professional golfer)
5. Tiger Woods (amateur golfer)
4. Laura Davies
3. John Daly
2. Mickey Wright
1. Arnold Palmer

Woods is listed twice because of how exciting he was as an amateur, and as a pro.

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

I understand that but he is still one person.

As an amateur it was more exciting to watch him then he was a pro. What's so hard to understand about that?

Remember that for all the flak Tiger gets for not winning a major from behind, all three of his U.S. Amateur victories were of the comeback variety.

Edit button isn't working for me? But, I was tired, I didn't mean to act like an ass.

I didn't think your comment was offensive and I was joking about Tiger being only one person.

Maybe the people that work at SI are the same people that work at the Golf Channel? After all, you could bet your life savings they'll say the word Tiger during the first minute of Golf Central and never lose.

      And if he wins (gasp) the British Open, the hat will be an homage to Mr. Morris. Equal opportunity opportunist. Heh.

      Still not happy with Bryson's lies. For example, just yesterday: The hat was because of Payne. Years ago he was on record as saying it's because of Ben Hogan. The wall at SMU for Payne Stewart that he says made him decide to go there… didn't exist until after he'd begun taking classes at SMU. Both lies feel awfully "convenient" because he won at Pinehurst.

      Launch Angle With Driver

      By saevel25 ·

      Launch angle is a mix of dynamic loft and angle of attack. Dynamic loft including the loft of the driver and how it is influence at impact by your swing and by the golf shaft.  Odds are you have a negative attack angle. Yes, hitting it low on the club face can decrease launch angle to. Unless you can get the full set of stats, hard to tell what is going on.  Depends on the width of your stance. Rory has a super wide stance, so his all position is inside his lead heel, but it is forward in his stance.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 592, June 17, 2024 Played 18 holes pausing near the top of the backswing (may not have actually looked like a pause if you were watching me). Hit a 6I about 195 (flew the entire green) and a few other shots long, but… overall, pretty happy. Occasionally was lazy with the arms.

      You are absolutely right he never mentions LIV in his videos. The only reason he has his LIV team's logo on hat and shirt is a contractual obligation. And there is nothing phony about his fan interaction - one only has to go back and look how he interacted with fans at the President's cup and Ryder Cup. I hope the President's cup captain has the "presence of mind" to select Bryson as a Captains pick.
