The stats say otherwise. His approach game alone would put him at the top of the heap for strokes gained even if you blanked him in the other categories.

Can you show me these stats? I'd be interested to see them. Because I've never heard any analyst claim that Woods' long game is better than his short game.

Timing. A lot of elite guys don't like playing three tournaments in three weeks, and with Honda's date bookended by WGC events, that's what top-50 players would be doing.

Woods' short game has been the model of inconsistency for 3 years ... up one month, down another, genius one day, below average Touring Pro the next... While others reach their mature prime around Woods' age, Tiger prime seems past...

pfffft ... that's nothing ... for Tiger.

In his PRIME, he was winning 6, 7, 8, and 9 times in a year.

Yeah I guess your right tmac20. I suppose Adam Scott's beautiful swing has produced 19 pga& Euro tour wins combined and one major. When's his prime? Or did I miss it?

I never said Scott was better than Tiger Woods. Woods was the best player of all time in my opinion. But it wasn't because of his swing. It's because he's a winner and can perform better under pressure than anyone else in the game. He can get up and down when it matters, and sink unbelievable putts when it matters. But Adam Scott has a better swing.

Scott's swing might look better but it obviously doesn't work as well. His swing is like the Monet of swings. It looks good from a distance but the closer you look you realize its just not that special.

Scott's swing looks great from any distance. It has been his putting that has held him back from winning a lot of tournaments, not his long game.

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
