tiger is already so far ahead of everybody in the world golf rankings so it would be tough for anybody to take him on.
however phil does look like he will have an excellent 2010 season
(i wonder how much the new groove rule will affect phil and his wedge game?)

I really don't think it will. He is the best short game player around and he's got plenty of time to get used to the change. From what I've read, a lot of pros are already using the conforming grooves anyways.... not sure if Phil is or not.

no, he's not, i was watching the HSBC last week and the commentator said that phils grooves all match the criteria required on all of his clubs except his wedges

I agree that he is the best right now and the field should be concerned if he continues his great play. As for talent he is number 1 he just needs to get a better mental game.


Based on this season and the personal things he went through, he should win 3-4 times and maybe win a major. He'll surely hit Sunday in contention in a couple.

Tiger's had a surgery to deal with and Phil's had a hard personal life this year. However both performed well due to their circumstances. Tiger is still number one next year more than likely, but damn it, I love Phil's heart. I say Phil will be at Tiger's throat in 2010 and it'll be, not only one interesting year, but major's will definately be to watch!

although i think phil will perform better than tiger in 2010. there are other variables. like everyone else. as well as rory mcilroy who is leading the money in the race to dubai. he will be playing in at least 15 events next year. so watch out for that.

Tiger is still #1 but Phil has re-establihsed himself as his main rival. This is especially true that Phil won the Tour Championship and the HSBC, playing the final group with Tiger. Next year should be an exciting one for the PGA Tour.

I agree, Phil really came back strongly at the end of a very, very difficult year for him. We know he's got the talent, this showed a lot of mental toughness/discipline as well.

But with his style of play, Phil is always gonna keep us on the edge of our seats if you know what I mean. Sometimes it can even be hard to watch ........ but I never do miss a shot of course.

You are right. Watching Phil is a real roller coaster ride. How many players can whiff a lob shot and still win? That's Phil in a nutshell! He gives us thrills and chills.

    • Got a chance to play RTJ today. What a fantastic course. The LIV guys will have fun in another month.  
    • Love resurrecting this thread! The float-load feel bit and then the old video I think from Mike on how to hit low and high chips were the kickstart to my short game journey, where I play well below my handicap (officially 9.x right now, via arccos I only lose 1 stroke per round to a scratch golfer in my short game). I've spent lots of time with float-load and I can be a sniper inside ~40 yards with my GW and 60*. But I actually just started trying a version of this for like ~40-70 yard shots! 70-115 I have a like hands to belly button height stock partial swing shot that I hit with SW-9i dialed.
    • Played 9 today. Good and bad. Full Swing - Right arm straighter feel needs to be there 100%.  Short Game - Just needs a good couple of practice sessions to polish. Too long of backswing most of the time.  Putting - more straight back and straight through “feel” works well. Hitting center of putting face more. 
    • My rule of thumb is a PW for everything from 100 yards in except specialty shots like a flop or a low runner.  I find it easier to eyeball it for distance and swing on feel for the distance I need to hit
    • Day 3: Worked on putting at different distances focusing on matching the backswing and follow-through lengths.
