Dear Colin Montgomerie:

Think of it this way: Rory isn't trying to win three straight events, he's trying to win the PGA. And given how well he's played lately, he's got as good a chance to do that as anyone. To think that i

I can always find an illegal stream I guess. If I come to Amsterdam, it will be for perhaps these:

Tiger has actually become a distraction for the last major of the year. It's completely insignificant whether or not he plays.  If he does, there's no way he's well enough to be in contention.  Even at his best this season, he's been insignificant.  The media and fans need to seriously focus on the guys on tour that still have a chance to win Major Championships, because Tiger's day is done.

Kind of agree here. I don't know if Tiger is done for good and I don't think anyone can be positive about that. But I do think he will be a non-factor at the PGA.

Insignificant to what? As stated before, he's the needle. He attracts a lot of attention. Maybe not righteously so always, but generally, him being in a tournament gives more viewers.

My point is that he shouldn't be the needle. You need to perform in order to "be the needle."  I was as big a Tiger fan as anyone, 8 years ago.  It's time to move on.

Would you take a bet that gives you Rory against the field with 10 to 1 odds??

I would. Problem is the odds for Rory are 4/1. Not worth a Vegas bet.

He's been performing for 16 years, won five times and finished 2nd in FedEx Cup last year .

I don't see where we go with this. He's Tiger and he will be given attention as long as he's here, like it or not.

Also the local news is reporting that woods has put in for an extension to register today, he now has until Thursday to register.

Can someone explain to me the implication if he registers and then withdraws vs. he does not register and therefore does not have to withdraw.

I agree with you. My point was that I'm getting totally sick of the attention now that he's a non factor in golf tournaments.

I see your point. Personally, I don't mind, since I might not experience another player like Tiger in my life. I want to see how far he can get.

Also, he's just returned from surgery. We don't know when he will be contending again. Could be this week for all we know.

I am not sure that there is,  The PGA Tour can penalize a player who withdraws from a tournament unless the player is injured or the players poor performance is a distraction to playing partners.

I'm not sure if how they would consider the situation where Tiger, knowingly injured, takes a spot in the field and then isn't able to compete.  If Tiger doesn't play, they have alternates ready to take his spot, if he withdraws after the opening round, he wastes the spot and opportunity that others would have had to play.

That's normal summer weather around here, it could be downpours at my house and when i get to work 30 mins away not a drop or the other way around. Not to mention in the fall/winter one day it will be 30* and snowing next day 70's. I wouldn't read to much into it until the day gets here.

      Day 60 - 2024-11-29 Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.

      First time playing this game, Spanish is my native language. It was impossible for me. After 4 worlds I run out of worlds that have the letters I've already found that can be combined with the remaining letters.. just repeated the 4th world to knew the answer. I know the world but it never came to my mind.
