I heard this was the 1st time since 1973 two guys had 5+ wins, I think it was Nicklaus and Weiskopf that year. Thought for sure Tiger and Vijay had done it once or twice but guess not. Pretty amazin

I think we can all agree that was the way this season should have ended. It was his season. Day had a hot run there for a couple months and really played well all year, but Spieth was #1 really for the last 10 months going back to the World Challenge and Australia which he dominated and just owned the majors. He deserved the Fed Ex Cup and no doubt earned POY. Will be very interesting to see how he does next year. Pressure is going to be cranked up a lot to try and follow up this great season. Plus you know Rory is going to come out hungry and Day, if he can stay healthy like he did this year, will be a force as well. And Tiger....uhhh...nevermind.

Spieth’s 2015 season has become the most lucrative season in PGA Tour history.

Doesn't really matter much. If Tiger had the Fed-Ex Cup during his prime year she would have made a killing.

Yep, Jordan gets it. Good for him. I was wondering if he would pull of a late in the season win after blitzing the tour from the Master's till the US Open.

I cant wait till President's cup when the final head to head match on the last day to clinch the title is Day for the International team goes against Speith for the Americans.

Spieth earned it, despite all the naysayers he won when it counted most.  Kudos to Day as well, he had a great season and both have established themselves as the guys to beat next season.  I was a bit disappointed Rory faded today, as I hoped he'd have made a run too.

True, I know Tiger moves the needle and I'm a huge fan of Tiger but I have to say I'm pretty excited about golf right now.  You have the young guns, Day, Spieth, Rory, DJ, and Fowler dominating, and another group of young guys who have potential to reach elite status, Koepka, Thomas, Finau, Matsuyama, Reed, Lee and Berger.

I think golf is in a good place right now, it's young, fresh and I think kids will relate to these players better.

I couldn't agree more! I grew up with Arnie, Jack, and Lee, and this has been the single most exciting, entertaining year of professional golf I've ever seen.

Good thing you have only have like two weeks to wait.


I don't think the events that will happen in 2 weeks through the end of the year will feature much of the players that I mentioned.

WGC HSBC will be a decent field but after that it will be guys trying to run up some points and cash before the elite field starts playing.

      Titleist Velocity Balls - Straight and Long but do Not Bite Greens

      By ZenShot ·

      So I am seeing Titleist Velocity balls referred to as the 2020 model.  I don’t see any reference to a 2021 model on the Titleist website.  So does anyone know if either the Velocity will be discontinued when the supply runs out or whether there is a different 2021 model in the works?

      18° vs 20° Hybrid

      By ZenShot ·

      If you’ve never used hybrids before, it might be good to try one to see if they work for you.  Some find that hybrids have a tendency to hook the ball too often. If so, it might be better to stick with a 5 wood and/or long irons.

      What Makes Irons Different?

      By ZenShot ·

      The clubs of course aren’t going to fix a fundamentally flawed swing.  I can shank any club when I make a swing mistake.  However, some “game improvement” irons can help minimize the effects of a mildly inconsistent swing though.

      Mental Errors - How Bad/Good Are You?

      By sjduffers ·

      Yup. In my case, it was the 6 iron that didn't go anywhere, lol. To make matters worse, I used to have the 6 and 9 iron right next to each other... Not anymore!

      My Swing (Iu426)

      By IU426 ·

      Wow, you guys' analysis is really cool to me.  Thank you!  It feels odd to hear someone say my hands are too high, because I used to have a very flat swing with low hands.  I might be able to post an older video if I can find one with decent quality.   I can absolutely get a new video with both views and better lighting sometime soon.   Also, I have been playing since I was 3 (my dad and older brother have always golfed).  You hit my real age spot on!
