Phil every day of the week. You can stick your 14 Majors if it means being that miserable on course.

That's a great way to put it. Being able to win lots of golf tournaments is one thing, enjoying a great family life is quite another.

It would really be interesting to get inside Tiger's head to see how he really feels about the way his life has played out since 2009 or so.

Some of the things you reference have more to do with their lives outside of their careers.   In terms of careers, for me it's Tiger, hands down, in a short amount of time he became the 2nd GOAT.

Phil, hands down.  Even if we don't count the clearly "off the field" stuff (for Tiger, it would be the marriage issues, for Phil it would be trading scandals & tax comments). Phil has had a

He gets to see his kids a lot more, which he says is wonderful.

Be careful in assuming that Phil's life off the course is that much better or fulfilling than Tiger's. The little bit we know of these guys' personal lives is nothing.

For all you know Tiger could be a very happy man off the course. He is young and time heals all wounds. He could still have a great happy relationships with even his ex-wife, though in a different way.

Tiger's never been "miserable" on the course. He's ultra competitive which manifests in frustration at times.

I distinctly remember a very young Sam hugging her father after the 2008 US Open.

Tiger's family is younger. As is Tiger.

Either, I will take Derek Fathauer's career on what is now the MONEY tour... I doubt we see anything near Jack, or Tiger ever again... 100 guys made over 1M last year... Does seem to be quite a fall off down to the 250K range reaching only 200 guys... Still, lots of money to be made vs 40 years ago...

Once you reach a plateau like Speith, the attention, time, and marketing take over so that many people can get rich and it is money first, legacy and golf is second...

      Ball Lost in the Rough

      Why does it matter? If the ball is lost… it's lost.

      Ball Lost in the Rough

      By ChetlovesMer · Posted

      I think this is now the norm for weeknight leagues.  I hate it too.  Makes no sense to me. Every time I challenge the folks running the league I'm given the same answer "We do it to speed up play." ... HUH? "There's a modified local rule for that!" I scream into the abyss.  Are the people in the league so bad at math that it actually takes them longer to add two strokes to their score than it takes them to add one stroke to their score!????  I don't get it.

      Ball Lost in the Rough

      By bkuehn1952 · Posted

      I have to wonder what “in the rough” means. Is the grass adjacent to the fairway so long one can’t find a ball? Or does ‘in the rough” mean everywhere except OB and penalty areas? I played in a league decades ago. The league played any lost or OB ball as a lateral hazard. I hated the “rule” since it provided a large advantage to players who hit errant shots. I became very good at watching and finding my opponent’s shots. “Here it is Bob, right behind this tree, in the raspberry bush.” I gave up league play in large part to the lack of following the Rules of Golf.

      That have a modified local rule which can be put into affect for this very reason.  This rule was invented to solve this problem:  https://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/rules-hub/rules-modernization/major-changes/golfs-new-rules-stroke-and-distance.html
