The Old White TPC has been the Greenbrier’s host ever since the tournament replaced the Buick Open on the schedule in 2010.

The Old White TPC features a par-3 finishing hole measuring 175 yards. The first three winners of the tournament birdied it in the final round. Stuart Appleby not only won the inaugural edition in 2010 with a 2, but it secured just the fifth 59 (of six) in PGA TOUR history. Both Scott Stallings (2011) and Ted Potter, Jr. (2012) connected for birdies on the final hole of regulation, and then survived playoffs for their maiden titles. Both Blixt and Cabrera parred the closer before walking off with the trophy.

Also Tiger's in the field.

Quote:
"We’ve got to have Tiger," Jim Justice, owner of the Greenbrier, said after Woods committed to playing at his tournament for the first time since 2012, according to Roanoke.com . "Tiger is one of the biggest stars in all of sport, and he brings significant attention to any event he enters."
Certainly, "taking the waters" in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., couldn’t hurt the struggling superstar, who may want to try something new to revive his sputtering career after he posted the highest 36-hole score of his career at Chambers Bay and missed his first U.S. Open cut since 2006.

They should have paired Woods Daly and Weir. That would have been hilarious. :-D

Damn, I thought I saw his name in the field. :-( Woods, Daly and Singh?

That's not fair to Ol' Vijay, he's like a million years old. :-D Maybe Justin Leonard! You know, I really don't know why, but when I google "Justin Leonard" I get a bunch of a pictures of a dude in underwear. I really hope it's not just me

May not be the best place for this comment, but didn't want to start another thread........I have been watching the PGA Professional National Championship the last few days and while I know these guys are all very accomplished golfers, the talent difference between them and PGA Tour players is substantial....this is more of a statement of just how good PGA Tour players really are compared to the rest of the crop.

Anyway.........I will take Tiger against JD, and am calling for Tiger to put two consecutive rounds in the 60s to start.......68-69...............JD shoots 72-71

I'd watch for Ryo Ishikawa to have a good tourney,he still needs to qualify for the Open..

Tiger playing with Stricker should make him feel comfortable.Love to see Daly do well,depends if he turns up hungover or not????

I'm looking for Bubba to play well, he has a home on the course. He said that he enjoys sleeping in his own bed and getting up to play..Gonna be some major bills dropped in the casino apparently Shaq is going to show up.

The atmosphere is very college football tailgate. Swap out your WVU hat and put on your Callaway

I started him today in fantasy golf but I'm a little worried about his putting today. He putts mediocre on soft slow greens...always leaves it short. Kind of wish I would have started Bill Haas but whatevs.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
