I just want to nip something in the bud. Before we have anyone chime in with "See, this is why the short game is more important than the long game!" argument, you need to understand what's really going on right now. Tiger has broken down mentally which is an entirely different issue. OK, carry on.

Justin Thomas is playing in a way to make you think he can be the break out player on tour this year. Kid has so much talent.

See, you confuse people like me when you only put the emoticon at the end of a sentence when you're also sarcastic in the middle of a post with multiple sarcastic comments!

Sorry, :cry: next :-) time :tumble: I'll B-) make :-\ it :-* more :smartass: obvious. O:)

+10 thru 13 holes today. Got to be dozens of TST members who could play that well from the back tees.

Sorry, next time I'll make it more obvious.

Thanks!

(BTW, were you being sarcastic there? :-\ )

Bubba must not have gotten the memo.  He's throwing visors into the stands on 16....!

Bubba was exactly the type of guy I had in mind when I said someone should write "Or What" on the notice not to throw stuff.

What are they going to do, not let him play practice rounds there

Players play, tough players win!

I was never a huge Tiger fan but I can't watch this. It isn't dignified for the greatest golfer of his generation to be this cruelly exposed. It reminds me of the twilight years of Faldo's career - I hated watching my boyhood hero missing cuts. To be fair, I don't think Faldo circa 2000/2001 was ever this bad.

I hope Tiger can get his head together and starting competing again. If not, surely he will contemplate retirement - this can't be much fun for him.

I'm telling you, he has Super Bowl tickets.  All he wanted to do yesterday and today was get some extra practice in (and lower all of our hopes as far as possible) and then he's gonna party the rest of the weekend. ;)

This is bad. Really bad. Brandel Chamblee said yesterday was the worst round he ever saw from Tiger and that was a 73? What's he going to say today?

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      By iacas ·

      I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.

      I don't think the viewer at home can pick up on pace of play, unless the announcers mention something. The telecast has the luxury of bouncing from player to player, which ensures we the viewer always have something to watch.  I think we would notice pace of play if the camera just followed one golfer for an entire round. Or  You were actually golfing behind the slow group Or  The slow group is the last to only group left to finish the tournament.  I like the idea of having a person carrying a digital clock, following each golfer. When the golfer gets to the ball and the group in front of them has cleared they have 60 seconds or they get a penalty stroke. Maybe a second violation is a 2 stroke penalty.  Or as I have said before, every golfer wears a shock collar!!!!! at 1 min 1 second that golfer if going to drop. It will take them a good 30 second to recover, leaving them with another 30 seconds to hit the shot. The course would be littered with golfers just convulsing on fair way from an endless cycle of shocks because they cant seem to hit their ball and keep pace of play.

      This isn't the same thing.  This is entirely a time of year thing. Not a trend.  This is the COVID year.  There are many who think the Masters viewership was actually way up. The 2024 ratings being down is only for CBS televisions. It doesn't include anyone (including me) who watched it online.

      Ha, I didn't even notice that "NFL competition" part… I just dismissed it on face because pause has very little if any role in TV ratings.

      Wait a second. That is a bit misleading to drag a 4 year old headline about the ratings when the Masters was delayed during the pandemic. The 2024 ratings were down but not to the extent that this headline would imply. Also, @iacas is correct. Any ratings drop has very little, or perhaps, nothing to do with pace of play.
