So I guess I'll get this started. 18 man field, actually it's a 17 man field plus one Tiger...world rankings points to be awarded, no cut, at Islesworth, which Tigs knows like the back of his hand, new swing coach, you know you love the drama. Anyways, GO TIGER!!!

Gotta be honest ... I'm a lot more excited for this than I probably should be. :)

As for the golf, might as well go for Spieth.

Those rankings are not accurate. Stenson is 2, Bubba is 4, Spieth is 11, Tiger is 24, Bradley is 31  and Stricker is 39. Probably a few others off as well.

I actually just came in to post this. Thanks for correcting that!

i heard them saying that Isleworth is a tougher test than Sherwood, is this true?

Disclaimer....I've never played Sherwood. I have played Isleworth a couple of times though. Very good course, always in pristine condition, but I always found it very playable, albeit from the tees that play about 6700 yards. IIRR there are 2 sets that play longer......7100ish and a stupid set of "Tiger" tees that are well over 7500. Greens were always perfect. Fast, but some pretty subtle breaks.

thanks,  ill be interested to see it, as i dont remember much from the snippets ive seen of it before.  i am a little sad that this tourney isnt at Sherwood anymore, i really liked that course, at least what i could see on tv.  very picturesque.

I'm sad it isn't at Sherwood because I enjoyed going there to watch it! Now I have to wait a full six weeks or so to attend a professional golf event. But I'll bet Tiger's glad it isn't at Sherwood; the area is experiencing some terrible weather today.

Don't you guys really need the rain?

Yes!!!  Just glad it's here today and tomorrow and should be gone by the weekend.

I'm way too excited for this tournament.

[atb5079]

Great field and super pumped to get this going. Lets do this Tiger!

[Foursum Golf]

I'm really excited for this tournament as well, especially after seeing Tiger swing the other day. Can't wait to see how it works in competition.
