So Tiger's going to the desert next week instead of Pebble Beach.

Does he need the appearance fee that badly?

Or maybe it's because Phil has won at Pebble three times in the past 12 years, and Tiger only once.

I know he has a fondness for the desert and has won there twice, and higher ranked players are playing there, but I sure would like to see him in the Pebble field.

No

When a company makes a club in the USA I will proudly display their brand here. All of mine were made in china by somebody making $2 a day. Shame on you Mr club manufacture.

Maybe he wants to look at his signature course before the desert takes it all.

correct me if im wrong and very well might be. But i thought he rarely played in the pebble feb pro am which this year is his old sponsor AT & T...

I would like to see tiger play a tournament at a location he rarely ever goes. Like St Jude or John Deere classic just to see how he plays on a course he doesnt play all the time.

Hey, thanks for clearing that up.  I hadn't realized Tiger was making the decision.  It's not like I understood he was making a decision, but disagreed with it.  Strangely, I decided to comment about Tiger's decision not to play at Pebble in the thread someone started about Tiger not playing at Pebble.

It really looked like he was getting on track at the end of last year but at Torrey he looked like a hack.

I think the real golfers and golf fans will watch guys like Gainey, Watson, Mickelson, and whoever else might be playing well. Those who don't know anything about the game and/or don't play it might not, but they won't be a big loss.

His course got shut down and is on hold until if/when the market gets better.

This is a real dumb statement.....Mickelson, yes. Gainey ??? Watson ??? Are you serious ????

Tiger plays thru the weekend at Farmers not contending, and it makes headlines on every blog, site,etc....and yet Westwood, the WORLD NO 1... played +4 or something in his first tournament, MC on his 2nd tournament of the year, and nobody even notices ! What does that tell you ?

I totally agree with basscat. At least with eldrick out they focus on the other players and stories[sometimes].When eldrick is in that is all they talk about. I personally like watching golf without him playing

he needs to play where he feels he can help his game and get a little bit of confidence back. i assume he feels the desert will do this.

      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?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      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.
