I think he has to register. He can still withdraw, of course.

If Phil plays it will be interesting to see if the fans give him some stick.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Looks like a cyborg with that one leg sleeve.

Well he does have a collection of plates and rods in his body, lol. Probably sets off the airport scanners.

Love that dood. Hate to see him limping, but ig it's better than wheeling around with one leg.

Admittedly, I really haven't followed the tour much the past couple years. Outside of checking in on how a friend from HS is doing every now and then, and watching the Masters. So had to go do some research on why we don't like Phil anymore. 

Wow. He may have just snatched the top spot on my hero to zero list. The subject of this thread currently holds that honor. And he may retain it. But Phil is, at the very least, a strong second.

I love Tiger's reaction when he realized Colin didn't immediately figure out it was his club when he just handed it to him.

That was funny.

Woods at Southern Hills.

This is the walk of someone whose body is not quite right.

Swing looks ok though.

 

Those were from yesterday, here is today.

Wasn’t he wearing metal spikes in the second one? It sounded like that. The first was was a really steep hill.

Tiger has always worn metal spikes, barring a short stint of trying Softspikes at the end of 2018 before switching back, so that's not particularly surprising. IIRC he's been using the ProStinger "hybrid" metal spikes before and since.

    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.

    • Thanks man, sometimes it’s hard to improve bc when I’m not feeling comfortable I don’t like practicing bc I get frustrated. Any advice?
