Don't know how many of you can access BBC i player, but if you can you will be treated to 60 minutes showing a young man with great humility.

One telling comment was from the Editor of Golf World or Golf Digest saying 'It will be nice to have an Icon who doesn't treat the world as a spitoon'.

He already is a mini one to be fair. Especially in Europe where George O'Grady has compared him to Elvis

I would say right now he's the hot topic in golf ( except for Woods ), but I wouldn't call him an icon yet. An icon is a player you remember in 50 years for achievements, Rory has nto achieced enough yet - but he most likely will

BBC i player is available on many TVs, certainly on your computer. ( it can be downloaded). It's a facility offered by the BBC to view already broadcast programmes. There are another 5 days to view this particular documentary. Cannot recall it was shown England - BBC have slightly different programmes in different areas. I assume this was shown NI. ( Rorys nationality)

Just type in Rory using the search facility.

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

      By iacas · Posted

      Yeah, let's just ignore that there were only 5-10 great players back then… 🤣 Ha ha ha. Whatever you guys have to tell yourselves… Tiger won MAJORS 22 years apart. That's a long time. He wasn't missing the top ten on the money list because he sucked, it's because he didn't play due to injuries.

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

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      Pretty accurate.  Another way you can look at it is how many years was Jack top 10 on the money list. It used to be the list that mattered, nothing else came close. Jack was top 10 from 1962-1978 and then once more in 1983 making 18 years total. He had another 4 inside the top 20. He was #1 8 times.  Tiger was top 10 from 1997-2009, 2012-2013, and 2018 which is 16 times total. His next best were 24th and 38th in 2019-2020. He was #1 10 times.  Honestly, they're both pretty long but Jack has quite a few more seasons in the upper ranks. Makes sense when Tiger barely played in 2010-2011 and then again from 2015-2017, and pretty much 2020 onwards. That's not an excuse for Tiger though.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Played three and a half rounds in England last week. I will not be playing more than maybe 4 rounds on any one course. Probably only about 20 rounds all year and between 4 and 8 of those will be alternate shot, so don't really count. Off to a pretty good start though. Three and a half rounds gave me 5 birdies and an eagle (with two of those birdies being on the same hole number).

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      First round of 2026. No birdies and a very pedestrian 86. Maybe I should have hit a few balls over the past 100 days. Next year!
