I know, its a little early to be starting this type of thread, but I have a buddy interning there sending me pics every day.  Hyped is an under statement.  I'm fortunate enough to have tix to all 4 days.

Rory listed as pretty strong favorite at 7-1, second only to Spieth (11-2).  Interested to see if he's healthy enough to be a contender come August.

Anyone know much about Whistling Straights? Definitely one of the coolest tournament logos recently:

Get to it ya'll

Right, that's why he finished runner-up in a playoff the last time this tournament was played here.

Jordan Spieth went to Catholic School and graduated from a prep school and has probably been a wonderkid in golf ever since his talents were recognized as a kid. Richard Sherman is from Compton

JORDAN SPIETH IS A CLASS ACT. JORDAN SPIETH JUST GAVE A THUMBS UP TO DAY. WHAT GREAT SPORTSMANSHIP. WHAT A GREAT MOMENT IN GOOD PEOPLE. SO GOOD FOR THE GAME. SUCH A CLASS ACT, WHAT A CLASSY GUY. DID I

Quick grandstand pic.

Leaderboard on the course is already chirping ZJ: "Congrats, Zach.  Not bad.  Good luck at the Straights though."

Rory scheduled a practice round for Saturday.  We'll hopefully get some sort of update on the ankle

Wow that's great news that he's at least going to give it a try with a practice round. That's encouraging news. A sign that he's not that far away. My guess is that IF he does play, he won't play anymore until The Duetsche Bank and then The TOUR.

Yep looks like he's going to give it a go.

I'm surprised, the way they were talking last week Faldo thought he'd be out for the rest of the season.  I hope he's okay and doesn't end up re-injuring it or something else because he rushed back.

I figured he would as soon as it was rumored it was a 6-8 week injury. At his age, his workout routine and probably the physio work he got, 6-8 weeks means he can be ready to go in 5, and this weekend will be the 4-week mark since he ruptured it and the 5th will be the PGA.

I think if this was the US Open, he'd more likely to sit it out, but given it's the PGA and the next major isn't for another 7 months, he probably feels "it's good enough" to where he can get through this tournament and then possibly shut it down for the year.

I can see it now...Rory limping down the 18th with a broken le...umm ruptured ligament on Sunday with a chance to pull off the improbable victory. :-D

I'm excited for him to be back. He was having a really good year before his injury.

Question...can the pros use a cart when they play a practice round? Does it make a difference if it's before the week of the tournament?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 97 - 2025-01-05 Showed up to something that absolutely floored me, and then was busy right through to 9:00. So, I got 5:00 in at night, at home, before bed. My rib cage hurts from a cough (ha ha, but also, f***), and I think I have a mild ear infection in my right ear. Things are just f***ing great.

      Record 35 Under Par for First Contest of the Year

      By saevel25 ·

      OMG Jerry Barber shot -20 back in 1960! Let's go back and time and bitch about how easy it is to play golf. My goodness, Calvin Pete shot a -21 in 1986! Wait a second, David Duval shot -26 back in 1999! Hold up, Ernie Els shot a -31 back in 2003!!!!  (all scores at The Sentry, it is a very easy golf course for PGA Tour players).  The concept that golf in the past is this protecting par or what not is just romanticized BS. Golfer's have been tearing apart golf courses for decades. Let's have a sense of perspective to base our opinions, ok?

      I wont  comment further except to say maybe we  can get a  -40 winner soon on these tests  of golf  skill     Hideki Matsuyama runs away with The Sentry, breaks scoring record to open new PGA Tour season Hideki Matsuyama picked up his 11th PGA career win on Sunday afternoon in Hawaii.

      Day 4 - Had aspirations for range work but a family activity went a lot longer than expected. So 6 minutes of mirror work, feeling good about weight shift back and transition forward.
