Doubt it. But it's an exciting leaderboard at the moment.

Tiger just shot himself down, literally. Pulled it way left into the water and went down for the count, grimacing.

Yes. Lighten up. I found it funny. Jack would probably mumble "kids these days" and shake his head. And no it isn't. It's the PGA Tour.

Over dramatic reaction. Hits a huge pull hook and plays it off as his injury.

Only thing missing from Tiger's histrionics was a team of soccer medics running out to the fairway with a canvass stretcher. The world doesn't owe you a living bc your back is sore. If you're injured, withdraw. If not, put in a tampon and suck it up.

Or he can't make a good turn but tries in spite of the pain to hit the shot that might win him the tournament and immediately regrets taking the chance. Nearly legendary that he finished one inch out of a playoff in his condition. He winced on a few good shots as well.

He plays Bridgestone irons...

As for his stand up back on his heels type of thing it's because of how tall he is, they sorta explained today why he does it.

Hmmm...He DID "suck it up" and came close to winning the tournament.

I know. Poor Tiger. What bad luck it is being the only golfer on tour with aches, pains, arthritis, etc. I mean, no one has ever played injured before, right? Do you think he needs help with that cross he's bearing?

Yeah, he's probably faking, just like that fake injury when he WD from the Players a couple of years ago. You know, the fake injury that made him miss the next two majors.

Wow you guys are something else. I thought it was pretty cool the way Tiger gutted it out. Some of you claimed Tigers fakes injuries to walk off tournaments hes playing poorly in. Now hes faking today after he had a chance to win? Which is it? You kids cant have it both ways.

Who said any of that? He had an injury, played through it, and came up short. No different than pretty much anybody else would have done.

Yeah, the only difference was the way he reacted - unlike any player I've seen who was playing through an injury. Poor form, and embarrassing to watch. His histrionics are beyond stale.

So other guys dont do it, good for them. Maybe you need to take out the tampon you have on! If its embarrassing for you to watch, I'm sure te PGA won't miss your viewership if you simply turn it off.

GAHH! I was really hoping for a Justin Rose/Adam Scott playoff. That would have been fun. Congrats to Adam though, love his swing, he's been so solid lately.

Lucky for Tiger it was just his back and not his wisdom teeth or he might have had to withdraw.

I agree.  But I was watching the early TGC coverage and I WAS bugged by the failure of Faldo and Lerner to understand that one orange joke is funny, the second is mildly amusing, the third through hundredth are increasingly annoying.

I also wondered how much of it was actually orchestrated by Cobra.  At least they didn't make Blixt wear one of those (stupid looking, IMO) flat brimmed hats.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.
    • I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.
    • Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again. 
    • Perceptive rules question by caddie unlocks Tour pro’s ‘dead zone’ relief A perceptive rules question by Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, unlocked “dead zone” relief during the Wells Fargo Championship.
    • I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.
