... you don't win regular tournaments any more and you are about to be deposed by Europeans as the world No.1 or by Phil Mickelson. Where is the Ryder Cup now on your agenda now that you're an ordinary golfer?"

that guy asking the question is such a douche bag. I mean you call yourself a reporter? Does he realize hes covering golf?

I think he was asking in a sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek way...and probably wanted to wind Tiger up a bit.

Makes a change from all the usual over-reverential, incredibly dull, standardized questions most reporters ask him. Mind you, I think the comment from McIlroy would probably have annoyed Woods more...regardless of Woods' record in Ryder Cup, you don't want to be winding the opposition up like too much...

Why because he is asking an extremely polarizing figure a polarizing question? Kind of like, EVERY OTHER REPORTER THERE IS these days?

Because its a stupid question. Its golf. "you dont win majors anymore" "you dont win tournaments anymore" Give me a break. People go years without winning and then win a ton again. Covering golf he should know better. Thats not a polarizing question, its a stupid one.

I'm pretty sure the reporter's question was just a joke.

Also, I don't think Rory meant he wants to play Tiger because he would be the easiest to beat. I think Rory wants to play Tiger because it would be a challenge. I can't imagine Rory taking a cheap-shot at Tiger.

I would love to face him. Unless his game rapidly improves… I think anyone in the European team would fancy their chances against him.

Cheap-shot? Nah. Rory grew up idiolizing Tiger, he probably said it to fire him up a bit.

At least the reporter was honest, though it was a silly question. Better than the woman in one press conference that kept asking him "Do you still lover her (Elin)? Do you love her? Do you love her? Do you love her?". I'm sure she said it at least three or four times. Tiger is good at making the right answers, the press have gone much easier on him the last months compared to this spring.

Reporter was trying to get Tiger to take the bait and give him something to write about. Tiger is going to have to get used to reporters trying to get him to blow up, at least until he wins another major.

The question was funny, but I wished he asked it 'normal' ("you've had a disappointing year with no wins - does that make the Ryder cup more important to you this year") and gotten an answer.

Of course Tiger does not answer question.

This is exactly why the question was amusing: he gets asked boring, normal questions all the time.

And anyway, we know the answer: he never has been or will ever consider The Ryder Cup important to him...

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      Awesome, thank you very much. I ended up giving them a call and you are right. Got to try out some different clubs, the first suggestion was the Wilson Staff Launch Pad irons I believe, the hybrid irons. Personally I wasn't liking them all too much, however they were much better than the old '74 MacGregor blades I've been playing. Then I tried a couple others, I forget what the one was but the one I ended up liking the best was the Cobra Aerojet irons. Overall feel and performance was the best for me on these, I also preferred the appearance and sound of these. Bit the bullet.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Live Updates from the range! Open the club face at address, and trust that you’re gonna be able to get the face in a good position at impact. I don’t have to feel like I have to keep the face open throughout the entire downswing. The swing feels much more free-flowing through impact. Difference in ball flight is that previously it would be a low to mid trajectory that starts straight and draw left, or slight pulls. New ball flight are high push draws.  It’s kind of stupid. I feel like it should slice off the planet. I look up and it’s maybe a slight push. 🤣 Some distant wedge feels. More weight on front foot. Keep weight on front foot.  Pivot around left knee. Solid contact all the time.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Becca ·

      Day 2:  I hit a bucket of balls this morning.  Not gonna lie, almost didn’t go since it was my first time going alone and it was a little intimidating.  I mostly hit with my driver (the last bit of balls was with my 7 iron).  The sun was in my face but I think the ones that had good contact with went the furthest yet (maybe 150 yards then a good roll?).  Once I switched to my 7, the first half of my balls were crap.  I’ve always hit my irons before my driver when practicing and done fine - does this make any difference or is it just because I’m so green?
