There are 52 tour events. If you open the attached link you can count 9 TPC courses. Pebble, Torrey Pines, Kapalua and a few others are also open to the public. No, you do not need a member to play Bay Hill, you just need to stay at the Hotel.

I didn't see a link.

there's more to the PGA than Tiger Woods

I listened to Paul Azinger and he seems to think that all these swing changes that he's gone through plus the amount of torque he puts in that back (which is a lot more than most every golfer) is a bi

Patrick Reed only shot -3? Surprising, as he's won 3 times on tour in the last 7 months, won the 2006 Junior British open, led University High to state championships in both 2006 and 2007, won

I know many many serious fans of golf who only watch the majors and tournaments in which Tiger is playing (some only watch anything when he's contending).

When Tiger is in the field and playing well, I'm watching every second of it. If he's not playing well, or not in the field, I'm barely watching with any interest. Only other players I enjoy are Stricker and Jason Day. Like it or not, that is the guy that moves the needle. Period.

I watch golf when I can't play it or don't have family or work obligations.  I'll watch, regardless of whether Tiger is playing, but I'm more interested when Tiger is playing well.  I think Tiger will be the last guy to challenge Jack's record given the amount of parity there seems to be right now in professional golf.

I didn't realize Tiggy has won 8 times at Bay Hill. I knew it was a lot.. but didn't know it was that many. He has to be a favorite this week.

If you can remember, Woods won this event 2 years ago after withdrawing from the WGC Cadillac with an injury. Wouldn't be surprised if he won. He has won 4 of the last 5 at this event.

I watch a lot of golf, but when the big names are at the top of the leaderboard, it does make things more exciting.


And there's certainly no bigger name than Eldrick "Tiger" Tont Woods in golf, and even in sports.

That is just a crazy number. Winning 8 out of 16 times you tee it up against the best in the world at that one venue :bugout: .

I think Tger has won 7 times at Torrey Pines as well, but he missed the cut there in January. I haven't seen anything out of Tiger yet this season that would make me think he is the favorite to win anywhere.

Tiger has been so erratic last few years, I don't know what to expect.

I hope he does well, though, and wins.  I would like to see him get his game in shape for Augusta.

I don't think you can call eight wins and the number one ranking erratic

Brutal. I'd say the Masters are in doubt too.

That would suck so much. Hopefully he'll be up and ready for Augusta.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.

      New, College Golfer Trying to Go Pro

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      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.

      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.
