Lol, @Golfingdad sent me this earlier in the week, but let's all get ready for some hot Tiger sound bites!!

 

Bingo!!

I'm about to watch a golf tournament for the first time, I think, since the PGA, so this will hopefully be good. I'm already assuming he's going to play awful, but I think (for me at least) it'll be fun to see him back out there. Hope he makes it through all four rounds unscathed.

They forgot "ballistic".

Yeah, low expectations (very low) but I will watch for sure and hope for the best.

So how much broadcast time will Tiger get vs the rest of the field?

More.

Deservedly so.

He can say just about anything he wants, but I just don't want to hear about his glutes, activated or not.

Lol, agree... and "glute activation" should've been on that bingo board.

No way, that would be a complete giveaway.  He knows he was mocked and knows better than to say that again, I think/hope. ;)

P.S.  They shoulda put "process" on there though, don't you think?? 

[Gunther]

If he can stay within 5 of PReed on day 1, I will be impressed.

Process is all the way down on the bottom. It makes sense I didn't see it the first time. But yea, my fault. Learning how to read that bingo board is a process, and my eyes weren't firing at peak activation, but absolutely I'm close to getting it right for next time. This bingo game is definitely getting my competitive juices going again, and that feels good. I just need to get in Bingo shape is all, and then I'll be racking up those Ws. With a few more reps under my belt, I'll be where we want me to be. Plus this new sharpie bingo pen is great, feels great, and it's adding some speed/explosiveness to my game, so that's huge when you have that. Honestly I'm loving the grind, and father time ain't gonna get me yet.

For this tournament, I'm more interested in seeing tiger than I am anyone else. Todays top shelf players (Day, DJ, Rory, Speith etc) are great players, but they're boring and ordinary.  Tiger has a flair a presence that no other player in golf has, maybe no other in history besides Arnold Palmer. Being that its is first tourney in a long time to boot, interest will be peaked.

It's also an 18-man field, so everyone will be getting a lot of coverage.

@david_wedzik proposed this the other day, and while I don't want to make a poll out of it, I'll ask you guys here:

If I set the over-under at 12.5th place, will you take the over or the under?

I'll take the under, but barely. Why? Because I think at least six people will be disinterested enough to play worse, and because Tiger is very interested in playing well.

I'll take the under because I'm a foolish little girl.

I'll take the under, no one is in top form at this point of the season and Tiger has probably logged more range/practice hours in the last 30 days than any of the others.

Haha, alright, I'll be the jerk and take the over by saying he finishes 17th, beating only Russell Knox. Hope I'm wrong of course, but this one has a high probability of being a letdown. Still, I'll be watching and cheering.

Nooo! Glutes firing a day too early. Lame! 

 

No seriously, I hope I'm wrong, but I'm taking the over. Still, go Tiger. 

[Gunther]

Over.   Between 15-18.
