Just talked to my dad who is up in Chicago for tomorrows Saturday round...said the tournament will pretty much be done tomorrow by 3pm. wtf? why?

Most weekend rounds end near 6pm.

Then Sunday television coverage looks to be normal, from 2pm - 6pm. what gives?

Probably because they have to compete with college football coverage?

Michigan vs Notre Dame at 3:30pm. Close enough to Chicago to matter?

OP is in Indy, I would have thought it was obvious

This also explains why CBS gives up on golf after the Barclays in exchange for the Saturday afternoon tradition, the SEC on CBS

NBC was showing the Notre Dame game at 3:30 so only the early window was available for golf. They obviously wanted to show the leaders finish their round. You should know by now that TV controls all sports.

      -9 Day One at Arnold Palmer

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      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.

      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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      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.
