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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
