I will have to say Tiger.  He got the "never going to win again" monkey off of his back last year by winning 3 times and seems to have his swing locked in.  The guy has 101 professional wins...you don't forget how to win tourney's overnight after winning 101 times.

With a locked in swing, good health and an added push from Rory, I expect Tiger to take the money Title over Rors.

That's just crazy talk!  It's hard to bet against Rory, but it's also hard to say Tiger won't even be close.  Oh, how times have changed in a few short years.  They will both have great seasons, and I'll still say Rory ends up a little higher in the FedEx Cup standings when all is said and done.  But you can bet Tiger will be right in the thick of things after winning multiple tournaments in 2013.  I'm excited to see them both in the same field this week, and I'm even more excited to see them at the WGC-Match Play and at some events on the Florida Swing.

The money line has to be close on this one. Rory beat Tiger last year. Tiger is in year two of Sean Foley's swing. Whoever wins a major is the winner in my mind. If Rory and Caroline break up then I take Tiger. Mentally I think Tiger is tougher, Rory has more humility.

Not Rory. :D

I almost created this as a poll for 2014, but… why?

Maybe to test Gary Player's theory that Rory's female baggage is what was holding him back? :-)

I agree with this (and the several others above that said the same)  Tiger seems to have been really close this year and inching his closer and closer.  I see a pretty big year coming for Tiger next year.  And just for fun (and so I can be laughed at in a year), lets say ...

5 wins, 1 major, #1 world ranking, fedex cup, player of the year.

Finally I get one of these predictions right!

Yeah, but were you AS right as me???  And, if anybody thinks that I will ever stop bringing this up at every possible opportunity ... then you are sorely mistaken. :-P

I didn't actually post in the thread, I just answered the poll, so I guess you win. :-(

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
