2018 Honda Classic

[Groucho Valentine]

Tiger should hit up Henrik Stenson for some tips on how to go next level nuclear on 3 woods and became an unstoppable golf machine.

I keep seeing things on social media about how Adam Scott changed his swing. It doesn’t look dramatically different if he did. Anyone else hearing this?

He spent some time with George Gankas at Riviera.

interesting. I thought I remembered reading somewhere that his brother-in-law was his swing coach. He had a pretty good swing already, but you can always improve, I guess.

Yes it is/was his brother-in-law. Biggest change they made that is noticeable to the eye was getting his eyes/chin down at address.

Basically every 5 years he works towards making his golf posture better so five years from now he'll look like this

Yeah, so, his driving wasn't too bad today if he gained nearly 0.6 strokes.

Short game, btw, gained him 0.34, despite leaving himself in the rough after the one bunker shot, and putting gained him 0.42 despite missing that bogey putt on the par five and not holing many putts outside of 5'.

I also saw on twitter that he was T6 in proximity to the hole. Can't find the source right now. But I thought that was really encouraging, too.

Tiger tees off at 12:35PM. I like the @TigerTracker feed, but tempted to sign up for a year of PGA Tour streaming. I bet they're loving the fact that Tiger's back.

Oh, he is playing this week too? I didn't know because his lone fan hasn't posted about how it would be the biggest story in the game or something…

I was wondering how you were so accurately describing his shots yesterday....

I just saw on Sportscenter that much of the greens are painted sand?? WTF??

I don’t think so.

PGA Tour Live is worth every penny. I love it.

Also: wow the featured group this morning is bad. Rory, Reed, and Harrington have been borderline unwatchable!

It was Michael Collins quoting Wesley Bryant and other players, said many of them were unhappy, and that puffs of sand can be seen when the ball hits the green.
