Best dressed player on tour?

Obviously hindsight is 20/20 but did Freddy make the right call by picking Tiger?

I think he did.  He's been on a lot of these teams, won 14 majors and told Freddy he was healthy.  Got a history of "rising" to the occasion.  It wasn't an easy call between Tiger and Keegan Bradely.  Keegan would have been a rookie and I think you have to go with the experience Tiger has under his belt.

Fred made the right call - he has a point. How do you not call up the best player evah' next to Jack?

Especially if he says he'll be ready ---  You call him.

And after Stricker talked with Tiger about his putting, they began falling a day or two later... and Freddie's decision  looks even more brilliant.

How does the "global crisis" keep people from watching golf on TV?  And in the face of the global difficulties, when Tiger plays ratings go up and attendance at tournaments goes up.  People poured out to watch Tiger play at the Fry.com event.

    • 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. 
    • Bangers and mash. In keeping with the golf theme.🫢
    • 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!
