I thought Vijay had this one stitched up with Tiger hitting it all over the place but wow! A final round 63 for the win is decisive. Tiger is getting it done when it matters. He's on an absolutely incredible tear right now.

I didn't watch it...the PGA is a one man show and like Jim Rhome said....BORING!

Jim Rome is one of the biggest *******s in sports anyway so to take anything from him IMO is idiotic. 99.9% of sports fans and golf fans tune in more now because there is one man that is doing something amazing for the sport right now. You dont get to see this very often and after Tiger I have no clue who could wow us the way he does. IMO your not a true fan of golf or know nothing about golf if you think what this man is doing is boring.

i dont understand how you can say its boring to watch someone so amazing do something so unbeliveable, ur watchin history in the making an probably the greatest golfer ever and u say its boring ?. i dont understand that

I already regret not seeing MJ live. How many of the idiots saying that Tiger is boring are going to go lie to there kids or grandkids and say they saw him just to try to be part of history?

Calling people debasing names should never be allowed on a talk forum. I won't do it, wasn't raised that way and my church comdems those that do! Don't know how you folks were brought up or what your taught in your church but this shouldn't be done, nor should a moderator allow it here! Personally, I find one person or one team winning all the time boring and I don't care if its tiddle-de-winks or NASCAR, I don't care for it, history or no history!

Golf is not a game, it's a way of life!

But the thing is... Jim Rome really is an idiot. But that's beside the point.

Looks like we're heading towards another off-topic Tiger-flaming thread.

Personally, I don't find it boring. I'm not saying that those that do find it boring are wrong, but it's not exactly a valid argument.

I'm going to start another thread to see where people stand on this.

If you read my post I never called you a name nor would I have. I was calling Jim Rome an ******* because he is one, and dont think for one second that he doesn't call people many names in the book, hes one of the most outspoken media guys around.

I could see where some people would think it's boring, and I respect their opinion for thinking that. Other people's opinions are just as good as mine. Also, I'm actually a fan of Jim Rome. He speaks his mind, and he is right on the money a lot of the time.

If I didn't love golf so much, I would probably think the "Tiger winning all the time" is boring as well. I'm just that kind of a guy. I thought the Bulls winning numerous NBA titles was very boring as well. The same goes for the Lakers in 2000-2002 winning three in a row.

Tiger's domination is definitely historical, but it would be much more entertaining if all the members of the top 10 went head-to-head each week and beat each other up. Right now, Tiger is just beating everyone up, not vice versa.

Tiger's play as of late leaves me in complete awe. He is truly phenomenal, and I respect the guy 110% for how great he is. However, that doesn't mean it's uncool to think his continuous winning is a little repetitive and boring.

And besides, I'll still be watching when a new young back comes in and knocks Tiger off the pedastal. I might be a senior citizen by then, but I'll see it happen damnit!

I never did and never have been against Tiger. He is a great golfer and maybe the best ever, time will tell but I find one person dominating the tour rather boring and I turn to something else, the western channel or the news. But being called an idiot or stupid is disturbing to me and shouldn't be allowed on this forum. I don't know where the moderator is on this. It should NOT be allowed!

He didn't call you an idiot. No one here is calling you an idiot. Settle down.

The moderator (me) has been paying attention. I haven't seen anyone call you names yet. Calling your opinions idiotic, by the way, is not the same thing as calling you an idiot.

Jim Rome can be an idiot at times, yes.

Okay for the second time, noone called you an idiot or stupid. You have to read the post before responding. I dont know where you are getting this from. I wouldnt want to be called names on here and wouldnt do it to anyone else but your reaching here. Jim Rome was the one who was called names and Im gonna take a wild guess and say that you arent Jim Rome.

      For what it's worth, I never took Bryson as a bad person. Now more so, he seems way more genuine now than he used to be. He just leaning into his personality, and I think that is a good thing because he is a very entertaining golfer. I find his YouTube channel entertaining. He just made a questionable business decision in joining LIV.  I mean, man props to Bryson here. Bryson, during the final round, between the 17th and 18th hole signed the hat of a disabled kid. He didn't have to go out of his way to do this. Same for Rory, Rory stopped on by as well to greet the kid. Mad props to Rory as well.

      U.S. Open Qualifying - How Would Your Course Hold up?

      By TourSpoon ·

      It's funny because the USGA through the FSGA definitely had a formula for what they wanted to see. They were very careful to set up a very fair test. They didn't tip it out, and they actually moved a few holes up from the black tees because they didn't like how a tree was blocking out one side of the fairway or that every par 3 was over 195. There was a mixture of easier and harder pin locations and the greens were cut to their specs.  In the end, I think they accomplished their goal of identifying the best golfers that particular day. Finally, I would highly recommend attendance at one of these events. It was very spectator friendly where you could get really close to some really good guys and see them work their way around the course. There are no ropes, its quiet, and there are no hordes of crowds to navigate. I think Charlie Woods, who had a security detail, had between 15-30 people hanging around but others like Kutchar and LeMieux, really flew under the radar.

      I mean, everything is so complicated now with the US being in bed with the House of Saud for so long   I did enjoy his unbridled enthusiasm and the fact that he graciously chose not to criticize Rory for dipping out

      Just curious, why don't you usually hit driver there? Downwind would typically help keep it a bit straighter, and it seems like laying back some would bring that right fairway bunker into play, right? Looks like the only penalty stroke hazard would potentially be way left, right?

      We liking BDC yet? Nope. I actually tried but who was I kidding? Can't get over the fact that he works for MBS. Entertaining, autograph signer/influencer extraordinaire, whatever.. Can't forget that the end of the day he chose the wrong side of history.
