I'll be very curious to see the TV ratings for today - even going up against the NFL.

There was football today?

Someone asked me today if I was watching the Seahawks game, I started laughing. 😂 Not when T-Woods is on screen and winning!

Just all kinds of awesome. I almost feel sorry for the poor little naysayers. What an epic embarrassment.

Just joined a few days ago and enjoy all of the posts...love this thread.

I'm a huge Tiger fan and am ecstatic of his victory. The videos above bring me back to the 2002 US Open at Bethpage where I was fortunate enough to see him win in person. I just googled some highlight videos and you can clearly see the determination and almost robotic nature that carried him to greatness. Fast forward to this year, same determination but clearly a mellowing out, for the better. Will be a fun 2019 season!

When Woods first started on the tour, he was bombing it past everyone. Now he's first into the green more often, but still manages to get it closer to the pin than most.

No way. No sorrow. No.

Im still hazy on how these strokes gained stats work. I know its how players are primary rated now, but im still hazy on how it translate to actual performance when watching in real time. Hypothetically, you see a bunch of guys hit a fairway and green, make two putts for par. But some will have lower strokes gained than the others. Its not really intuitive without diving into a bunch of math.

It's actually a lot simpler than you'd think. It's figuring out how many strokes the average player takes to hole out from a position and comparing that to the actual player's performance. For example, an average player makes 50% of his putts from 8 feet, and never 3 putts (just assume that a player never 3 putts from 8 feet). So, for an 8 foot putt, an average player takes 1.5 strokes to hole out. If a player makes an 8 foot putt, he's gained 0.5 strokes on the field. If he misses an 8 foot putt, he's lost 0.5 on the field. You do that same calculation for every situation/distance that a player faces to come up with a strokes: gained number.

If Tiger wins the Tour Championship but not the FedEx Cup, oh man. Whoever wins the FedEx Cup will be completely overshadowed. That's probably a nightmare scenario for the PGA Tour (at least regarding the FedEx cup; they won't complain about the publicity it would generate). Not only does their year-long champion not get the recognition, but you have a bunch of casual fans wondering why Tiger winning the Tour Championship isn't enough to win the FedEx. 

It would be cool to see, though!

I'm going to go ahead and claim that I predicted this. Bow before me.

    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
