I've wanted to walk off sometimes, but I never have, and I'm not getting paid millions of dollars to play a game. I don't think the obligation is debatable. Suck it up, Rory.

Nike's next commercial can be Rory sneaking covertly off the golf course.

Based on those tickets in the OP, it's Tiger vs. Rory (Sabbatini). Much less exciting. :-D

What a baby.... Number one in the world and he walks off because he is playing bad. Nice example he is setting right there. Makes me feel bad for the monday qualifiers and non exempt guys who couldnt play becuase Rory was in the field and he had a temper tantrum and walks off... I used to like Rory..

Rory, with his new $100M Nike endorsement deal, is getting a real taste of what Tiger has had to deal with all these years.  Golf is hard enough to play on it's own, knowing everyone in the world is watching and critiquing  every swing is a completely different level. Walking off the course after 9 might have seemed like the right thing to do at the time, but I have a feeling he'll regret it.

He should regret it. Bad form.

Did Wozniacki break up with him? They were saying on ESPN that he wasn't confident with his swing, which I suppose you could say about any pro golfer that can't break 40. [quote name="shooter" url="/t/65104/2013-honda-classic-discussion-thread/60#post_815187"]GC just stated " Wisdom tooth pain" was the reason for the withdrawal!!  LOL  What a gonk show! [/quote] I had my wisdom teeth out in January and spent a week zonked out on pain meds, yet I still think I could have gotten around in less than 42. :-p

he wasn't on TV this morning with his early tee time, so only people at the tournament were watching.

Nice, I had two wisdom teeth pulled last May, so i know it hurts if there starting to get impacted, but i feel like wisdom tooth pain could have been the easiest excuse to pull off for the rory camp, and if his tooth did hurt. He would of been shoving the typical sign of tooth pain...oh well.

Rory is taking a beating here. The guys walking inside the ropes with him were not buying the tooth pain excuse. I was joking that he went home and is grinding the Titleist logos off his old clubs and painting swooshes on them.

Meanwhile, Tiger teed off 20 minutes ago and Golf Channel doesn't pick up the coverage for two more hours. :-(

What about NBC? I thought they picked up the stuff the GC didn't have? I'm at work or I'd check myself...

It's a weekday. Generally, Golf Channel does all of the coverage on weekdays, then on weekends GC starts the coverage and they throw it to NBC later in the day. Live@ on PGATour.com does have coverage of the 3rd and 9th holes, so I'll subsist on that for now. I'm watching Sean O'Hair right now wearing green-screen green shirt and pants. If he did the weather you'd just see his head and shoes.

Yeah, but has anyone done the numbers?  I'm curious how close Tiger might get with a win (or at least a top-5) this week.

Edit:  Looks like Rors still has a commanding lead, but some of his points will drop off this week when his 2012 Honda win gets devalued.

1. McIlroy 11.66
2. Woods 8.83
3. Donald 7.25
4. Snedeker 6.74
5. Oosthuizen 6.35

On the par-five third hole, DJ just bladed a bunker shot and fluffed a pitch on consecutive shots.

sounds like me.

TGC sucks during the week with live coverage.  i mean last night whenever they were finishing up at 6pm EST the only people left on the course were a bunch of no namers. much rather watch TW at 1pm EST start his round than Horatio Porschnaple finish his round at 6pm.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
