When asked what will be an acceptable result given his lack of competitive preparation for the open, he responded "First".

Given the consensus from the "Analysts", I assume that was the comment some might consider delusional.

Meh, I expect nothing less coming from Tiger. One of the most competitive people on the planet.

He knows how to win, he won 5 times last year, and his back is fine.

Why wouldn't he say that?

Ya.  I'm a bit bored of his press conferences as well, but do people expect him to say that he's not sure how well he'll do.  He's not wired that way.  I'd be shocked if he won though.

Aside from the betting odd's, do you have a dark horse favorite..?  My top 3 were Sergio, Martin, and Paul Casey, but I'm liking Ricky Fowler as a long shot.

From Tiger's press conference

Q. Secondly, is it harder for you to win a Major now than it was eight years ago? If so, why, what makes it harder?

TIGER WOODS: I think it gets harder every year, just because the fields get deeper. More guys with a chance to win. What did we have, 16, 17 straight first-time winners and more Major championship winners throughout that stretch. It's just getting deeper. It's getting harder to win. The margin is so much smaller. It's only going to continue to be the case. Guys are going to get longer, they're going to get faster. Guys who are coming out here are bigger, stronger, faster, more athletic. When I first came out here in '97, I think, I averaged somewhere just under 300 yards, 296 or something like that. I walked around with Gary Woodland on Sunday and he said, "Yeah, I finally found a driver and a ball I can hit 320 again in the air." Yeah, in the air. So the game has changed a lot since then.

Thought I'd put the UK prices in brackets for you (I've used what we call High Street prices, rather than the exchanges) the exchanges would normally be significantly bigger on outsiders. By my reckoning US punters on those odds haven't got a single golfer shorter. Christ, to be an American bookie hey? Place terms typically paid on the first 6 or 7

It's no wonder the UK gambling industry wants access to the US market, mind you, if US punters had any organisation about them they'd be crying out for it too.

    • If you like golf podcasts, Hack It Out is tough to beat. Lots of interesting info and it's very funny.  Lou is one of the hosts along with Greg Chalmers and Mark Crossfield.  They love to give each other a hard time.  Lou catches most of it, but he takes it well and dishes out his fair share.  Great show.

    • Day 211: putting work today on my mat. Worked on some feels to get my head to move less. Contact was improving.
    • Day 9: 2/15/2025 Spent several 5-10 minutes sessions today working on what I learned from Yoda yesterday. Pretty much a new priority piece. 
    • Day 25 (15 Feb 25) - A little background on today’s drill session.  On the way to band rehearsal this morning I was listening to the guys on PGA Tour radio in the golf school segment and they got to talking about short game practice.  As I love working that part of the game, my ears perked up.  They were talking taking multiple clubs and doing pitches/chips from the same distance and learning how each flies the ball.  So today was the start of the 8P54 drill (8i - Pw - 54°).   Set it up to hit two balls with each club from the same lie to a set distance.  It really helps envision what I should see in each club.  A sweet new twist to a fave drill.
