He's being sued for this... I don't know how it's a separate issue.

I find that reply a little harsh however I am sorry if my syntax obscures my meaning iacas. I guess the law suit is of more interest to you than it is to me.

There are many issues that are arising here, Taylor Made acquiring another star, the decline on tour of Cobra/Puma, breach of contract, advertising ethos etc etc. I wished more to discuss other issues within the story than the lawsuit that is arising from the story. I hope that is satisfactory to you.

I'm sorry that you feel it's harsh. It's brief. It's short. It's to the point. I don't see "harsh," but that's obviously not to say you can't. Sorry.

The way I see it, Villegas moving to TaylorMade and subsequently being sued is all part of the same story as far as I'm concerned, right along with the other things you've mentioned. TaylorMade loves to play this "rebel" role where they get to throw a bunch of grenades at people, and this may have finally gotten them in trouble. I don't have much to say about the lawsuit. I think Acushnet will win and I think it was sleazy of TaylorMade to do it. I also care very little about who endorses who. It's a money game and pros don't all play the best equipment for their game in order to get a bit more money. Zzzzzzzzzz. Not interesting to me who signs with who. Just as it's not interesting to you who sues who.

I guess TaylorMade will be bringing out the Araña series putters soon?

I'd be surprised if he switched from his Scotty but you never know....I think Kaymer uses a Anser still.

Slightly off topic: Does the lawsuit have anything to do with the PGA store not carrying any Titleist brand equipment currently?

      Agreed - only 5 players better than -4. Not quite alarm bells are ringing time just yet.

      I don't really care what the winning score is. The best players still generally bubble up to the top. Also, second is three back. It's not like there are ten people within two shots of the lead.

      Are these course getting easier? are the players getting better? should we not worry about tournaments that used to produce single digit winners are now producing course records year after year.  I am not talking roll back I am just curious why scores are so much lower than five to ten years ago.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      I've posted plenty of positive things about Tiger over the years. I just like to play fair.  But if you want to see me praise TW some more here you go: 12 wins by 7 shots or more - Jack had 4 3 separate win streaks of 5 or more in a row - Jack won 3 in a row once It took Jack 172 more events and 9 extra years to reach Tiger's 71 wins by 2009 TW is the only player since 1900 to win a major by double digits and he did it twice 30% peak win rate is even higher than the previous record holder Ben Hogan (25%) 11 time PGA Tour Player of the year - Jack had 5 12 times lead the Tour in wins - Jack 6 10 times money list leader - Jack 8 Jack officially has 73 wins, but 2 of them are team wins with Arnie. You could argue he should be listed with 71 and I wouldn't disagree.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      I mean that's clearly an opinion.  The funny thing is I never even attacked Tiger, I just pointed out that the other poster had a point when he mentioned that Jack had a longer career. Tiger basically had 5 years when he could have been winning more tournaments if not for his injuries. 2010-2011 and then again 2015-2017. Hard to make the argument after his final win because not many players win a ton after age 43.  If those numbers support the fact that Jack had a longer career so be it. Don't take that as an affront to Tiger.
