I know it's a while off yet, but I cannot wait for the Ryder cup! It has to be my favourite sporting event of all! There's something about this tournament that gets me so excited, and I love to watch the final day in peace, so I've organised a 2 day tourney this year, play in the morning of the final day, then sit around the hotel for the rest of the day watching the final results come in, probably with a beer or 12, stay over, then a different course the day after in a team event as per Ryder cup! It's still 8 months away but I feel like I'm waiting for Christmas!

I was going to say the time difference might caught you out but I spotted you're in the UK!

Play golf while the Ryder Cup is on!!! Not a chance, I'll be glued to it all day, no chance I'd play a round and just catch the final results.

Going to be an interesting run in for the European team, I expect a few new faces this time around.

I don't mind missing a couple of hours in the morning for a round, and then watch all the final day, I'll be dying to hit a ball by then anyway! I've a few friends who are going to it! But tickets are already hard to come by now, so I planned the wkend away so I can watch it in peace without the family and squeeze a couple of rounds in too! yeah I'm expecting a few new faces, the full line up will be interesting to say the least,.. Both USA and Europe! Being British you would think I'd be firmly on the euro side, and I suppose I am, but to be honest the highlight for me is the singles on the last day! Seeing the best players against each other in a 1 on 1 situation! It never disappoints! Regardless which side wins, it's just a fantastic tournament, and 2 years is just too long to wait!

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Dr. Manhattan ·

      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.

      Once again… it's easier to be "consistent" when you're playing against weaker competition. Despite playing against significantly stronger/deeper fields, Jack was nowhere near as dominant as Tiger Woods was. Jack's "consistency" is a lame way of saying "I like Jack and I want to vote for him as GOAT but I can't come up with a real reason why, so I'll just say he was more 'consistent.'" If someone joined the PGA Tour, kinda muddled around for a year or two, then won 16 majors and 75 total PGA Tour events in eight years, then promptly retired… He'd almost surely have my vote for GOAT. Consistency schmonsistency.

      Maybe not just the 18 & 15 angle though. Jack's consistency over a long period of time is pretty incredible. Kind of mindblowing to look at his total number of Top 5 finishes in the majors.
