Next Thursday the third World Golf Championship of this season starts: Brigdestone Invitational at the Firestone CC.

Last year Rory McIlroy, who won't be able to defend his title due to an injury, won followed by Garcia at 2 shots and Leishman at 3.

As always the field will be very strong http://www.worldgolfchampionships.com/bridgestone-invitational/field.html

Game on!

Given his track record, the odds are there that it will. He's finished in the top-10 in his 3 previous tourneys before a major and we saw how those turned out.

There was several times when he missed a putt that they said he hit it off the heel, but it didn't appear to be the case to me. The compression thing was just dumb as hell.

You may want to turn your head because Mr. jiggly chest, just pocketed a cool 1.4 mill.

Tiger Woods for the win this week ;)

The guy loves this course. It's a perfect place for him to finally notch the win.

Win? He's gonna dominate. He'll lap the field by 15 strokes. Minimum! :-) There will be all those camera flashes in the dark, just like old times.

Looks like he's not playing this week. His next schedule even is the PGA Championship.

Exactly. There should be an asterisk next to the 2015 winner stating that Tiger would have dominated if was in the field :-P

Woods should play the Barracuda Championship if he's serious about making the Fed Ex Cup Playoffs. Given his track record at Whistling Straits, I wouldn't expect much out of him at the PGA this year, especially given the high rough off the fairways.

Tiger would likely miss the cut at the Barracuda Championship.

Perhaps he should play in the pot game at my home course this weekend, instead. It would serve as a confidence builder . . . maybe.

I'll be there Wednesday with my camera. Anybody want a shot of a particular golfer playing this week?  Happy to get you a good shot of your favorite golfer provided I can accurately identify the player by the name on the bag!  Sometimes it's difficult because this is such a global field this week.

Let me know or I'll just post the shots I get on Thursday or Friday to this thread.

I would like to see Henrik Stenson using his 3w, that would be awesome :)

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      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?
