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.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
