If I played with the GOAT and beat him in one round, I wouldn't tell my grand kids. I would write a seven volume book series and have it published in 47 languages.

I don't think he's willing to do that. That would be like "playing to make the cut" instead of "playing to win." I don't think Tiger Woods plays "to make the cut."

Wonder if he committed before this round or he's thinking it's not going too well, let's get a spot in.

He had until the completion of play today (not the completion of the second round) to commit, I think I read. Maybe he gave Steiny a signal after a few holes to commit, or maybe they timed it to be when he was on the course so they wouldn't ask about it beforehand.

When I think "Honda Classic" the first thing that comes to mind is the Cavity-Back 350.  Or the 305; but that was a little bit before my time.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

This thread became more interesting than the Genesis one the instant Tiger said he'd play it after missing the cut. :-P

Tiger will have to do something about his long game if he hopes to play four rounds next week. He lost shots to the field both rounds, which can have affected his play on and around the greens. I've seen him putt worse when he's constantly needing 3-4 shots to find the green in the first place.

 

Off the tee: -2.111, 128 (rank in field).
Approach to the green: -0.987, 101

Putting: 0.090, 67 (+2 one day and -2 the next)

Driving accuracy: 46.43%, T87

My guess is Tiger fares better back home in Florida (yes, I know he grew up in SoCal) than he did in Cali. The driver has to get worked out either way, but I would think the familiarity and comfort he has playing in Florida might get a little more of a groove going. Seeing him out there is a good thing regardless of where it is, but I didn't think much good would come from playing Riviera...even in his prime it never seemed like a course that he was super comfortable on.

@iacas - can you add a poll to this thread?

Tiger makes/misses the cut

I remember when the excitement was if Tiger would win (again), now it is will he play the weekend. Here is to hoping he plays 4 days, but I wouldn't make a bet on it.

Players play, tough players win!

I don't watch the PGA much, but it seems like "top" players miss the cut every week. I'm hoping Tiger just played poorly at Riviera more than his game being in trouble. I guess it's hard to say with just two tournaments under his belt.

I'm not sure these Florida courses are that friendly to wild drives.

No disagreement there. He’s got some serious issues to work out with the driver, I just think being on familiar turf can sometimes help at the margin.

yeah boiiiiiiiiii another even with Tiger in it!!! 

I thought he looked better with the driver this event. Numbers bear that out, I believe. He got away with a lot of bullshit at Torrey because he putted and chipped like the hole was eleven feet wide. 

I think a lot of his problems boil down to competitive rust and fatigue. He'll compete. 

For non-related Tiger stuff-- 

I love this tournament. I love the whole CaliFlorida swing. Really does a nice job setting up for the Masters. I'm always happiest at the beginning of the season. It all feels so fresh and new! 

Hope Rory finally puts it together in the States this year, and gets a win. Feeling good about him now that he's healthy.

If tearing means driving it into the rough and ripping the rough apart, you might be correct.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

      This is why you should never have any expectations when you play golf even when you think things are starting to click together. In end golf will just curb stump you.
