It would be a shame for him to miss the Cadillac, for us fans, but for Tiger? I guess he would be pissed, but not that pissed, not unless it becomes a major in the next few weeks.

...Unless he's outside the top 50 in the world. They're not going to let him in just because he's Tiger Woods.

My thinking is revenue based. If he plays, the revenue generated will Trump (pun intended) a lot of rules.  Someone might conveniently drop out opening up a spot for him. The guy, even with his current poor showings, is still a cash cow for the PGA.

As of right now Tiger is out for WGC Doral. His ranking plumetted to 56th after his showing in Phoenix. Other notables: Rory is #1 obviously, and his margin is a stout 4 points over Henrik Stenson. Brooks Koepka climbs from 33 to 19.

Even if somebody drops out that does not make the OWGR #51 eligible for this event.

Well, right now Tiger needs 6 guys to drop out, and if he plays this week like he played in Phoenix he might need 12 guys to drop out.

No, he needs to be inside the top 50 to get in. It doesn't matter if 20 drop out.

I was thinking this is like the match play, but I think you are correct. On that count, I give him almost no chance at all. He's more likely to continue to drop than to ascend this spring.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
