World Golf American Express Championships

[damoc1]

Any thoughts on who will win?

My bets are on Tiger Woods?

Incidentally Tiger was spotted watching Chelsea vs Liverpool football match last week. Is Tiger a soccer fan?

[sPinHigh]

Of course, Woods has a lot going for him... ;)

I wonder how the Ryder Cup has affected players. I guess some of the americans wants to show they are really great so might make for top finishes. I think the Euro rookies (Stenson and Karlsson) will probably not be high up on the leaderboard; lots of new situations and impressions the last week with the RC and they are probably mentally tired.

The same might go for other Euros but I think Sergio might be able to carry over some of the good energy from the RC into his own play this week.

So apart from Woods, I predict Sergio or possibly Scott.

I actually get 21-to-1 on Sergio and 18-to-1 on Scott at my online betting site so will probably put in some dough there... :)

Tiger is 3-to-1! Amazing for a golf tournament but I guess that is the kind of stats he has (wins every 5-6 tournaments he plays and even better for WGC).

No Tiger Met A Chelsea Player At The Matchplay and he gave him tickets after his early Exit(ha ha),

I have to agree, at first I was going to say Sergio won't win because he sucks but I wonder if the Ryder Cup will give him a bit of a boost, at least this week.

Why is it that during the majors or any regular PGA Tour event I can pull for Sergio but the second the Ryder Cup starts I just want to slap the taste out his mouth? But my pick is Tiger, especially seeing him Sunday at the Ryder Cup, he showed his game is certainly still there.

Luke Donald.

He always strikes the ball very well, and he has been putting lights out as of late. He is also riding high in confidence after going 3-0 last week. And by the way, I haven't seen a leaderboard yet because I have the TiVo set to watch it when I get off work. So Donald may be +5 for all I know.

I'll take my chances though.

well so much for Ryder Cup beat down..so much for grueling schedules...so much for saving wifes honor..


Tiger 63

Tigers in 6.

[Thrash13]

Well, I watched what I had TiVoed last night. It was some really good golf to watch. Tiger's 18th hole was pretty spectacular, and he run his eagle putt in with A LOT of speed. It was a confident stroke to say the least.

The leaderboard is packed with great golfers, and it will be interesting to see what happens over the weekend. I'm recording today's action as well, but I'll get to watch tomorrow and Sunday at its regular time thankfully.

Am I the only one that hopes the wind blows 30mph and the course dries out? I'm kinda vile like that, but I would love to see it play a little tougher.

Will the weekends coverage by ABC by tape delayed? Sounds strange that they start as late as 1pm ET, which would be 6pm GMT where it is played. Must be tape delayed then?

Apparently so.

I thought I'd heard they were on at 8am or so (i.e. live), but a quick check at pgatour.com/info/tvtimes says nope: 1pm. Boooo!!!!

[iammike]

Apparently so.

the question is now can you not check espn in the morning, so you don't know the scores people are putting up for the golf you're about to watch.

NOT A CHANCE. I've known every x-mas present beforehand, too. Not much for surprises.

[Madriver]

how would you like the check made out Mr. Woods?


-11 and counting....

[BigAl5150]

Its too bad it wasn't live. Its not like ABC has anything on Saturday morning. I could have used a good primer before watching college football.
