I know this is well ahead of schedule but I had a question about it. I've never seen the Tour Championship before, but what is the coverage of it like?

I would imagine it wouldn't be very difficult at all to show EVERY SINGLE SHOT of EVERY SINGLE PLAYER (there's only 30). I'm betting they don't do this but they easily could.

15 groups of two. Only showing the first few seconds before the shot is struck (pre shot waggle).

This would be so great to see. To see the worst shots and the best, and all those in between from the top 30 golfers in the world for that particular year (as big as it gets, really. Majors could be considered bigger and harder to win due to the much larger field, but getting to the Tour Championship isn't easy and really proves who is the most consistent, not just the best for 1 tournament).

Every, single, shot.

What's the coverage like for real though?

Yeah but that doesn't mean they have to show Tiger and Phil walking around for 30 seconds before and after their shot. If they want to put more of a premium on Tiger and Phil...show all of there shots like usual but also show everyone elses.

Of course, there shots would be replayed first after the commercial break..but I wish they would show everyone and all their shots

I'm sure almost everyone will be in contention though.

    • 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. 
    • 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. 
    • 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. 
    • Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.
    • Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top.
