I dont think Rory or any player on the soon to be victorious European team fear Tiger, his Ryder cup record is average due to his inability to play for a team rather than himself, and more importantly having just given his x-wife 500 mil he is probably crying all the way to Vegas and the bed of a trashy hooker :) and of course will he make the team........ if i were CP i would not pick him as he would bring nothing to the team.

You are wrong. Tigers first major win was at the masters at the ripe age of 22 in which he won by 12 strokes. As for the talent factor, you all have seem to forgotten that tiger was a single digit capper before he turned 10 years old and was striping balls at 4.

Woods was 21, not 22. As far as Rory goes, he is every bit as polished at a young age as Sergio was. Sergio pushed Tiger to his limit at the 1999 PGA and that was as a 19 year old. But Woods showed his potential at the 1997 Masters. While Garcia was a more consistent ballstriker as a youngster, Woods was a better putter and when he got hot with the ballstriking, his potential was off the charts. I feel pretty confident in saying Rory will never win a major by 12 or 15 shots. That's not a knock on him, it's just the reality of the situation. When Woods' putter got hot, it got REALLY hot. Rory has great fundamentals and whatnot, but he lacks the magic that Woods had. Tiger just found a way to will the ball into the hole and that's why he had arguably the most dominant run in golf history.

TW just shot his best round of the year this morning, i wouldn't be so quick to count him out.

Rory won three U.S. Amateurs in a row?

Rory won the european amateur championship at 16 and was the best amateur in the world, of course its alot of ifs, hes 21, Im not saying he will certainly do it, Im saying he has the potential to do so. Im fairly certain he will fly past phil, ernie and vijays major record and stop comparing him to AK guys! lol

    • Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light. 
    • Day 117 12-7 A bit of chipping practice today. Full swing- hit some real balls to see where Im at. 
    • Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.
    • I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
    • Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
