I'm reminded of a baseball analogy. Back in the day, when Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Steve Garvey was Mr. Perfect-in-Every-Way - of course we found out later that he was not, but that's another story - he had an off-year on the playing and personal fronts, and Bill James wrote a little piece on him that ended, "Welcome, Steve; welcome to the human race." That's sums up what I feel about Tiger, and maybe what many others feel, too. Guy used to be annoyingly Olympian, then he came to earth but hard. For a while there was some Schadenfreude-type pleasure to be had from his getting his comeuppance, but that has faded for all but hardcore Tiger-haters. Who can't relate to him now? Welcome, Tiger; welcome to the human race.

Interestingly, his back doesn't seem to twinge on the shots that he's happy with.... ;-)

Yeah, Tiger's short game is shakier than Muhammad Ali playing Jenga. He just seems lost, like he has no clue why is not working.

pgatour.com or pgatour app both have (NC) or (SC) immediately adjacent to each players name. So perhaps that's a Tiger-specific tic, just like all of the PGA tour players have adopted the s

ACE!

Chad Campbell with hole in one at the downhill par 3. I am officially rooting for him now. Been a while.

My hats off to Billy Horchel. Whether he believes Tiger's game is close or not, he stuck up for his friend. He probably said Tiger is doing good things to make him feel better. Nothing wrong with that. A class act.

I agree. He just went way up my list of favorite players.

He also smokes like a chimney on the golf course, which puts TV directors in a conundrum every time they cut to him.

How in the hell did Lucas's ball bounce out of the water? And JB shoulda gone for it.

Everyone loves a Jason Day win. And Lucas Glover might be the worst putter I've ever seen. So much for 2-footers having no separation value.

That is Bold, I would predict that he goes to the top 5 by years end, if he's healthy. The kid's got game for sure.

      2026 Masters

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html

      Playing Arrowhead Colorado for the First Time

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      I am playing Arrowhead for the first time and I am pumped.  What are some things that I need to make sure and appreciate, for those that have played it before and love it? It has been a pretty dry winter so I am expecting rough to be forgiving which is nice and it will be playing much easier than it does in the late summer (I am assuming based on other colorado courses).  What should I make sure to not miss?
