The announcers at The Masters today mentioned Tiger's par 3 scoring this year, so I wanted to look at some statistics. The latest entries on the par fives boggles my mind. He used to obliterate the par fives and these days it's a liability rather than a chance to gain shots.

 

Par 3, birde or better. Percentage and rank:

2000: -, -
2001: 18%, 28th
2002: 16%, 29th
2003: 18%, 2nd
2004: 14%, 52nd
2005: 14%, 1st
2006: 15%, 1st
2007: 14%, 29th
2008: 15%, -
2009: 16%, 12th
2010: 12%, -
2011: 18%, -
2012: 17%, 6th
2013: 16%, 16th
2014: 19%, -
2015: 17%: -
2016: -, -
2017: -, -
2018: 14%, 96th
2019: 23%, 1st

 

Par 5, birdie or better. Percentage and rank:

2000: 62%, 1st
2001: 61%, 1st
2002: 58%, 1st
2003: 60%, 1st
2004: 55%, 2nd
2005: 53%, 1st
2006: 57%, 1st
2007: 52%, 2nd
2008: 50%, -
2009: 57%, 1st
2010: 45%, -
2011: 47%, -
2012: 48%, 14th
2013: 49%, 8th
2014: 26%, -
2015: 46%, -
2016: -, -
2017: -, -
2018: 48%, 33rd
2019: 43%, 129th

Crazy how something like that could have taken him out for the tournament. Kinda hard to fault that guy, though. He was trying to keep people away from Tiger but hit that slick grass/mud and went down himself, hitting Tiger's ankle it appeared. 

What I noticed even more was the great shot out of the trees to the green! 

There are some things I don't care for about Tiger and his past, but I can't help but root for the guy and hope he can stage a comeback for one epic season.

Very encouraging day for Tiger. His top 12 finish means he's eligible to play the Masters next year. Still hasn't won a full field event in the last five years, but he's making progress.

Best of all, I'll never again have to hear that stupid stat about not winning from behind.

He’s the only one who didn’t hit the ball in the water. #GolfWisdom 😜

It'll be interesting to see what events he plays over the summer. If I had to guess, I'd imagine he'll play the Wells Fargo, the PGA, the Memorial, and the U.S. Open. Then he hasn't played any of the events between then and the Open. Then mayyyybe the WGC-Fedex St. Jude, but it's at a new course and the week after the Open. Then it's another course he hasn't played, then the Wyndham, then the playoffs. 

So he'll probably/maybe end up playing an event he hasn't before.

Because of the rule? The one Spieth violated last year? If yes, I don't think he has to as a lifetime member.

If just because the schedule is different… then probably?

In 1997, the first year he won the Masters, Tiger became the first player to win over $2 million in a season. His total official money for the year was $2,066,833.

Today, he won $2,070,000 for one tournament.  He should be very grateful to somebody for the increase in purses.

I believe he was/is the biggest influence when it comes to increased purse sizes.

    • I’ll have to pay attention more attention to the area when I’m there. I know the area to the left of the bunkers off the tee is fescue/native vegetation but I can’t remember what’s around the tee boxes. Something to consider still is that you can’t see the green from the tee. You can’t even see all three bunkers IIRC. So I could have a line on the drive but still not know where it ends up. I think I’d be a lot more comfortable going with driver if I played here more regularly and had a log in my head of where shots tend to end up like I do at the other county courses. I have never hit driver on this hole off the blue tees. I have done it from the gold, but the length and angle are different, and during casual rounds when I didn’t care that much about score. I’m not sure the best time to try it is the second hole of a tournament. Or at the very least, I’m uncomfortable with the idea and that’s probably enough reason not to do it. I see what you’re saying. Wind is supposed to be pushing out more to the right on Saturday, too. I could probably aim right at the bunker and not end up in it. I don’t think there’s anything near the green other than that tiny bunker that would give me trouble. Well, trouble in addition to my short game deficiencies that is. Yea, me too. All I’m thinking is get it in play, put it near the green, chip on and two putt for 5. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use my length as an advantage later. You realize all of this theory crafting will be moot when I chunk it off the tee, right? 😆

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
