...gets decided this weekend in Dubai World Championship .

Kaymer v McDowell : whoever wins out of these two gets the nod, IMO

McDowell ALL THE WAY BABY!!!!

McDowell, this year, has a US Open major, 2 Euro-Tour wins, 4 top-five finishes and a great Ryder Cup.

Kaymer has a PGA Championship major, 3 Euro-Tour wins and 2 top-five finishes. (he also had a couple of top-ten major finishes) I think if McG gets in the Top 10 ahead of Kaymer this weekend, he just gets it for me also...

AGREED! G-Mac has had a great year as pointed out above. Kaymer had an arguably equal year, however I think G-MAC is the winner!

Jim Furyk is one of five nominated for PGA (Tour or PGA, I don't remember) player of the year.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

The PGA of America named Furyk their player of the year.

The PGA tour Jack Nicklaus trophy will be between Ernie Els, Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Matt Kuchar and Furyk. How Phil made that list is beyond me.

I don't know if there's a dedicated award for European tour player of the year, I'd assume so, but winning in Dubai this week is pretty much stating that you've been the Euro tour's best player for the year anyway.

Given the fact that the PGA of America and the PGA Tour

have picked the same person every year since 1992 , I would expect Furyk to win. FWIW, here are the results for the Euro Tour POTY for past years: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PGA_Eur...es_of_the_year

Not really looking at the PGA Tour cos no-one stands out in it, really...Furyk doesn't 'light up' the golfing world, did nothing in the Majors and has a couple of wins to his name in 2010.

Various groups like the US PGA and the European tour name players of the year on their tour, but I don't think there is any question that McDowell has had the best year in golf.

Sure, he's had a

great year , but I don't think it's beyond doubt he's had the best year.

Anyone see Rory McIlroy's eagle putt today in Dubai? It was awful.

David Howell on commentary referred to it as the worst putt ever, in the history of the game.

Hopefully it'll be on youtube in the next few hours.

Haha, must have been the putt that (almost) went into the water hazard.

He had to putt over a ridge, but the ball did not make it to the other side. Instead of rolling over and breaking to the left big time, it stayed at the top and broke to the right, away from the whole and stopped on the read water hazard line.

Well Kaymer's won the Race to Dubai. Finished -6, same score as McDowell. Poulter and Robert Karlsson in a playoff for the Dubai championship.

Actually, all 3 European Tour members who won a major finished at -6 in the final tournament.

    • Day 133: did a stack session. 
    • You can pre-order an R50 here for pretty rapid shipping (these are back-ordered almost everywhere): https://www.playbetter.com/products/garmin-approach-r50-golf-launch-monitor-simulator?ghref=2301%3A700794. This is an affiliate purchase, and I'm willing to kick back lifetime ad-free Supporter membership here on TST or a 90-minute GEARS session for the cost of a regular member lesson (about 1/3 the cost). Also, I'll record a video myself soon when I get an R50.
    • Day 58 - 2024-11-27 Some quick 90-yard shots on a particular hole… before a lesson and testing out multiple Foresight Launch Monitors on GSPro.
    • Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies. 
    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
