PGA Tour Live, here we come again!

I know that PGA Tour live shows featured groups before TGC and network coverage.  Does it also simulcast the TGC and network coverage?  I am currently subscribed to YoutubeTV to get the Golf Channel, but 40 bucks a year would be a lot better than 40 bucks a month.

I don't think they simulcast the Golf Channel. I think it's just their exclusive coverage.

Arnold's impact cannot be overstated and I think it's a shame more of the young guys are skipping his tournament now. I wonder if they would ever try moving the Palmer event to a better spot in the schedule. Either that or they should move one of the WGC's. Why do we need two WGC's in the same month?

Unfortunately, I think this is going to go the same way the Byron Nelson did.  A lot of players playing out of respect for the presence of the Great Man, but once he is gone it peters out.

Same thing will happen with Tiger's tournament in 50 years.

Rickie struggling right now too. 

That is just the Tiger effect.  Whenever he is playing well the fields go from stronger than they ever have been to inexplicably weak. ;-):-P

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Rory had some good finishes last year. Hasn't been much to celebrate so far in 17-18 season though.

 

2017 results:

HSBC: T4

Mexico: T7

Bay Hill: T4

Masters: T7

The Open: T4

Bridgestone: T5

 

2018:

AT&T: CUT

Genesis: T20

Honda: T59

Valspar: CUT

 

2017 could've been a pretty good season with a few wins in there. His 2018 trend doesn't indicate that he will win anytime soon.

Rory has already done enough to enshrine his place in the Golf HOF.  20+ wins and 4 majors gets it done. Im sure he knows that. I think we're just seeing a guy who thinks he has nothing left to prove and perhaps lost some motivation. Its the only why i can explain how someone as talented as Rory goes flat like he has at his age.

I think he’s just a streaky player. Remember the roller coaster for him in 2012 (up), 2013 (down), and 2014 (up). 

He has had some injury issues in addition to the cold putter. I hope he can turn it around for Augusta. I want all the big names to play well at the same time.

I doubt that he thinks that.

I am more inclined to think that he can't get past his putting issues. He's been in the top 15 in strokes gained tee to green for the past 8 years. He's above average with his short game. Only twice has he finished above average in putting on the PGA Tour in strokes gained putting. With his long game, he should be winning a few more tournaments then he has. With his putting, I don't see him hitting the ceiling he has.

You'd be surprised how often someone is super talented that falls flat.

Total SG putting for Rory:

 

2018: -1.178
2017: -5.138
2016: -9.938
2015: -2.183
2014: 13.150
2013: -3.796
2012: 2.336
2011: -3.109
2010: -9.214

 

That's not...great. All his other stats are mostly very much on the positive side of strokes gained on the years above.

Those are some misleading numbers and are largely based on the number of rounds he played that year… in 2018, he's averaging -0.107, but only has 11 rounds.

Rory was T135 at -0.207 per round in 2016. He played 48 rounds, hence, -0.938.

I agree. Rory's putting has held him back. But i cant pin down if that is the sole reason why he flatlined. He has found ways around  poor putting in the past.  His body language seems indifferent when I've seen him play. At least when he was getting pissed off and breaking clubs, he was winning..

PGA Tour Live is live. For some reason I'm unable to log in on both Internet Explorer and Chrome. Have to use the app on my phone.

    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
