The point he was making was that by saying you "could care less" that means you care at least a little. You wanted to say "couldn't care less." That aside... I care if he returns. I want to see

John Feinstein reported on the GolfChannel last night that he would be playing at Firestone and the PGA........gonna be interesting....what we need is someone with access to the Isleworth driving range to see how much practice he is getting in...

Why on earth would the Golf channel spend more energy on something that is not going to make them any money? The players bring in the viewers which brings in the advertisers.  The golf channel is in business to make money, not grow amateur golf. It is up to the USGA to grow amateur golf in the United States.

How many game improvement shows are there on TGC? How much ad time is sold to equipment companies ranging from TaylorMade to that goofy swing harness thing Rocco shills? Heck, for most of its existence, TGC didn't even show PGA events. A healthy amateur game is very important to TGC.

How many people care about amateur golf? Serious question: what sort of ratings would the NCAA championship or the mid-am bring in? It would probably be limited to the people who already are very into golf. I doubt it would grow the game at all.

Let's all be honest.  With all of the good golf happening without Tiger in the mix ---Rory shattering the field at the US open, young players emerging and the likes of others making a name for themselves, you have to admit "re-inserting" Tiger into the mix again will be fun and VERY exciting / interesting whether you like him or not.

Its hard to imagine the NCAA or mid-am ever drawing big numbers. But by "amateur", I was referring to all the golfers who don't play the game professionally. Perhaps I should have used the word "recreational" instead. Much of the TGC's programming is targeted at people who play the game for fun. I would imagine the majority of its advertising revenue comes from companies who are trying to sell products to golfers (as opposed to people who simply watch pro golf).

I hope his body doesn't let him down again. I'm positive he will win again if he can avoid injuries.

He must decide before Friday if he's playing Firestone, correct? Hopefully he comes back and is fully ready to come back.

How do you know he has no balls hit?

And the WGC isn't a full field PGA tournament.....it's a limited field World Golf Championship.

Yeah, that T4 at Augusta (due to poor putting) was such a crap display of ballstriking...

Way to misread the article. It says "we" haven't hit any balls. As in worked together on the range. That doesn't mean Tiger hasn't hit balls.

      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).

      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!
