I know Tiger is easily the most famous golfer ever but you have wonder hypothetically if he doesn't ever get it turned around how long does the media and tv coverage continue showing him?

With two rounds left I think anyone at +1 or +2 still has a chance.  None of the top ten have really contended in a major before.

You have to like Stevie's chances; after all, he is the last caddy to win a PGA after winning the week before.

I was wondering the same thing, at this point the story is how far he's fallen from the golfer he once was, but eventually that will not be news.  The commentators were trying to sound empathetic, but you could tell they were enjoying the opportunity to discuss and analyze his current game and swing.

What it really shows is the inability of the other golfers to gain sufficient public attention that they become more newsworthy than Tiger even when he's golfing poorly.

Yeah. Still wide open. I like Scott for it now, but also have a funny feeling about Gary Woodland coming through.

You might have missed it, but he looked like that when he was winning too.

I appreciated them showing the caddies (every player's caddy) as little as possible.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

Is there anywhere where you can get the stats for the week (GIR etc)? I can't seem to find them anywhere.

Seconded. I always struggle with finding stats and stuff during the majors and high profile tournaments, with their own websites.

Ogio Grom | Callaway X Hot Pro | Callaway X-Utility 3i | Mizuno MX-700 23º | Titleist Vokey SM 52.08, 58.12 | Mizuno MX-700 15º | Titleist 910 D2 9,5º | Scotty Cameron Newport 2 | Titleist Pro V1x and Taylormade Penta | Leupold GX-1

The US Open and the Open both had the stats on their sites and pretty interactive leaderboards. The PGA is lagging behind.

LOL

The emotions weep from Tigers pores. You could really see it at his famous press conference back in 2010.

WTF. Rory McIlroy hits the rocks in front of the par 3 and it bounces straight up and onto the green. Rickie Fowler does it 10 minutes later...

What I saw with Tiger Woods the past two days was what can happen if you lose just a little bit of your edge. It's not as if he has forgotten how to play golf all of a sudden. He's still a terrific golfer. He's just not, at the moment, an elite golfer.

Yep, he's playing well.

I'm rooting for Westwood. Hopefully he has a good round

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
