2 wins in last 8 months, top 20 in the world, Ryder Cup team...consistent tournament finisher........I think he might have gotten an invite (wins and world ranking actully put him in).

Yeah that's great he missed 2 cuts at 2 attempts but do John Daly, Ben Curtis and Todd Hamilton ring a bell? The british is the major where players manage to come out of no where to win which is one o

I understand what you are saying, but I disagree that they Open isn't demanding off the tee. At the British, if you miss the fairway you're in the hay at most courses. If you miss it at the U.S. Open

Stranger things than Bubba winning the Masters have happened, so who's to say it couldn't happen.  I'm not sure if his time is now, but maybe more likely a few years down the road.  With that said.....he can move the ball both ways which you need to do at Augusta but, my concern is his ability to put the ball in the right places on the greens, because putting is what it is all about at the Masters and to accomplish that, you need to put the ball in just the right area.

I'll be rooting for him.

How about Mickelson and Bubba in the final group -- lots of birdies and bogies! After Phil's performance this weekend, he'll be fired up, though the pine straw may not be as kind to him this year. I think it was Nicklaus who said that Augusta favored a leftie with a nice fade (read: hole 11).  There's two of them here, though I think Westwood or Els might finally break through.

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

      By boogielicious · Posted

      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

      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.
