Looking forward to the newly renovated Doral…

Will Tiger actually play well? Will Rory bounce back?

Hey guys, it's not really necessary (or desirable) at this point to rehash the whole "Tiger cheating...." issue here, again, in this thread.  We had a thread on that, sucked about forty other threads

Nice to see him smile. Hope we see a lot more of that this year.

Should be the best field in a non-major all year, unless Tiger pulls out with a broken nail. :-D

I had forgotten about this.  Now I remember ... Donald Trump bought the place and the re-did it after last year's tournament. Here is an article talking about it, and below is a photo I found on Google that also demonstrates some of the changes:

Should be fun.  And I agree with @David in FL .  Rory will play well, and Tiger probably won't.  (But lets hope he does!)

No thanks, that's a really bad bet. Second favourite odds and the man hasn't performed well since last fall, not to mention he is *supposedly* injured.

Given that he's not even confirmed that he's going to play this week, I think I'd take that bet!

OK, I should clarify more.

If he decides to play, I think he'll win.

About time he puts four good rounds together.

Why is your first instinct that Tiger is faking this injury?

I think he'll play well. I hope he wins.

I don't know, the fact that he was playing poorly without any noticeable signs that he was in pain. But it's just a guess and nothing more than that. For all I know, he might actually be severely injured.

He was seen stretching out his back (or trying to) several times, including on the first tee, in an exaggerated fashion.

Hm. My mistake. I'll defer to your ability, tmac20, to ascertain the pain and mental state of Tiger Woods, since you clearly have insight that I don't posses. It's not like we have the same access to the same information or anything.

This is one of my favorite tournaments. All in all I love the Florida swing because its usually pretty chilly in Georgia around this time and it makes me jealous of their weather :-P

Again, it was just an opinion. I have the right to state my opinion no matter how incorrect you think it is. :-)

      "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.
