Anybody watching this? I sort of am but it's kind of boring - even for me, a self-admitted golf-watching nut.

Yeah, it has a 'Shells Wonderful World of Golf' exhibition feel to it. Plus, 2 of this years Major winners aren't there. Phil and Ooshuizen would have made it a little more interesting. And Ernie as a replacement is fine, but David Toms.. really? I know he's doing well and is a fine golfer, but you wouldn't exactly say he's a star attraction.

What a joke...only 2 out of the 4 winners, it's a waste. I might watch part of it, just because there isn't much else. I didn't even know it was on yesterday.

Apart form the interaction we can hear from the mics between player and caddy...it's a 2-day joke event.

I watched Day 1, but deleted Day 2 from the DVR unwatched.

It's just not interesting watching the same 4 guys the entire time. Besides, after a while, I started feeling bad about rooting against Kaymer. :)

Seemed like a nice course, though.

Routing against Kaymer? How come?!

I think it's good to see a class, emerging talent surely?

In the UK, I couldn't view the grand slam, wanted to though.

Balls! No Way!

I searched around but couldn't find it. Were they showing highlights (or not!)?

Trust me not to find it on the biggest sports channel(s). Doh.

I watched it mainly because I lived there for two years when I was in the U.S. Navy (1971-1973).

That wind can be a killer when it's 30 mph!

The couses are beautiful and the grass is always in terrific shape.

      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.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
