If he's lucky he gets another 69, and then he Beats everybody, after he Holes out from the Wet, Wet, Water

If he doesn't get back out and start playing on a weekly basis I don't think he will ever be much of a factor anymore.He is not number one in the world anymore and needs to get back out and play tourney golf.Going home and hitting balls isn't the answer.

I say 2 wins this year, with one major. I'm thinking the Masters if his putter is working.

But that is deceptive because they never set the course up for a tourney round with all of the back tees.  Torrey Pines never played at its maximum length in the 2008 Open and I doubt that thy ever set up Hazeltine up for its max in 2009.

What do you mean get back out?  He has never played a week by week schedule.  He seems to be planning on playing with the same frequency he did when he was decimating the tour.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Sure, but they are still the longest courses. They don't play the shorter courses at their maximum possible length every day, either.

Your right,he is playing with the same frequency he did when he was decimating the tour,but guess what,he's not decimating the tour anymore!He needs to play on a weekly basis and get his putting stroke back under pressure,going home and putting on a practice green isn't the same.Tiger needs to get back to basics,and that means playing a lot more golf.

You realize he's playing the next three weeks right?

No,but that is a good thing.I want to see him get his game back and have been frustrated with the fact that he is not out playing.I know he has had health issues,but that seems to be over and it's time for him to get back out on a regular basis.

When did Tiger ever decimate the tour?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I am going to say he wins at least 1 major if not two, I think he might win the masters and have a good showing in the other 3. I think he may have 3 other tour wins this year, i still think he beats Jack's record!

Tiger did just the opposite of decimate the tour.    In Tiger's prime, the Tour increased purses dramatically, increased attendance, increased TV ratings, and stimulated an increase in more physically fit and capable athletes.    This is the exact opposite of decimating.       Dominating, maybe, but certainly not decimating.......

For most of his career.  Maybe you missed it?  It was in all the papers.

I think I'd know if Tiger reduced the field by 10%.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
