The season's not quite done yet and there are two big tournaments to be decided yet in the FedEx Cup and HSBC Champions event. But from season so far, lets hear your pick for player of the year from the PGA or European Tours. Nominated multiple winners and Major champions apart from one or two.
A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

I'd love to say Ernie, since he's in the top 10 of both the Euro and US tour "Order Of Merit" standings, which is pretty good going. But he couldn't win a major and just hasn't played as well in the second half as he did in the first. I think DJ has been the biggest story on the PGA Tour this year, for both good and bad reasons. On the European side I'd go with Kaymer, although I think the biggest breakthrough there this year has come from Eduardo Molinari. So, yeah, I dunno lol.

DJ, sure he didn't win a major, which pretty much takes him out of the picture, but he came so close twice, and has played consistently well most of the season. Him bouncing back after his 2 final day mishaps to win the BMW was cool too. 2011 is gonna be a good year for Dustin

Martin Kaymer and Miguel Angel Jimenez are the only players with three international victories on any of the major tours in 2010; Martin's PGA Championship victory pushes him over the threshold.

      -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.
