Hush now. He made his bet. I'm gonna be $100 richer!

I might like your chances if the bet was on Tiger winning a major in 2011, but any PGA sanctioned event? I'd think the Vegas odds are against you on this bet. It's pretty obvious he's working on his swing right now, and by next year he should have it engrained in the muscle memory.

So does every other tour player.

Good for DJ to win after everything.

This guy has been so consistently good this summer. Hope he does well and takes home the 10 mil!

How about a hundred bucks instead? I don't think you're likely to come to Erie and I'm not likely to go to DC any time soon.

Sounds good to me. Game On~

missed the final round and was surprised to see DJ had won! Good on him. It's overdue. After the Us Open and PGA champ, DJ had a win coming. I foresee a great career for him moving forward.

my father attended Sat and Sun rounds..followed Phil and Tiger yesterday and basically told me "Tiger is back, other then his putting woes, he is hitting the ball great". He said it was sad that only a few hundred people followed the leaders, and it was thousands following Tiger/Phil.

he also said the "love" for Tiger is back. he said you could feel it in the crowd..everyone wanting to see him to really good, to be the Tiger of old.

yea Tiger usually has a huge following compared to others but when its both Tiger and Phil in the same group battleing it out, that increases the following alot. Doesnt happen to often that they are paired together. If I was there on Sat I would of followed Tiger for awhile and got some other views of golfers where I could get alot closer

Why would he say that? He was one of the sheep as well.

I would have followed Phil and Tiger too. Nothing against DJ, but that's a historical pairing and Phil is my favorite golfer.

Would you also say it's sad nobody was following the final group? Old guy sounds like a hypocrite.

    • 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.
