Golf fans -

I really haven't found a good site for this year's WGC Match Play Competition betting.  Anyways, I created an Excel Spreadsheet and am looking for more to join. Since I will be playing, I have sent my bracket to one of the other players so there's no confusion.

If you are in, please reply here and send $20 via Paypal to silkrower@hotmail.com (send money, personal, money owed) and a blank email to silkrower@gmail.com . I will send you the blank excel spreadsheet asap and you will have until the first match starts to return (Wednesday EARLY morning). Multiple entries will be accepted (3 max)

Scoring:

Correct pick for round 1: 1 point
Correct pick for round 2: 2 points
Correct pick for round 3: 4 points
Correct pick for round 4: 6 points
Correct pick for round 5: 8 points
Correct pick for round 6: 10 points (does NOT include the 3rd/4th place match)

There are also bonus points for correctly predicting 1st - 4th:
1st - 12 points
2nd - 9 points
3rd - 6 points
4th - 3 points

Tiebreakers: (in the Excel sheet)
1. Total holes player by winner
2. Biggest winning margin
If it is still tied, then the prize pool will be chopped.

2. Payouts:
<10 people - Winner take all
11-20 people - 1st gets 70%, 2nd gets 30%
21+ people - 1st gets 60%, 2nd gets 30%, 3rd gets 10%

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.     
    • 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.
