What do you all think about the possible Tiger/Phil pairing? I’m not a big fan of that idea. I think Tiger would be good with BD. Obviously Tiger and Phil are very competitive but I’m thinking there’s too much going on with that pairing and it would distract both of them from playing their best. 

I agree. Pair both veterans w/younger players who could benefit from their experience! I don't recall the Tiger/Phil pairings working out very well in the past.

Uhhh, I do! And it would be 2AM here! I'm just praying they have replays during the hours when most sane adults would be awake!

Well played team Europe, and well done Bjorn who obviously knows his stuff better than most of us give him credit for. Great tournament 👍

I think the posts about it being an exhibition and players not caring is sour grapes.  The players care (especially the younger guys)  they just lost.  No excuses about it they just need to play bette

There is a classic management mistake known as "hoping for A while rewarding for B." As you note, we hope that our players will perform well on one type of course, while we select them based on their

I just think that Tiger's win on the weekend was amazing news for team USA. It will boost their confidence in a huge way. He's definitely a sure point winner in the singles, me thinks.I wonder how he'll do this time round when playing with a partner ..

There is no upside to pairing Tiger/Phil - all the pressure is on them and if they lose it would be a huge boost to the Euros.  Not even taking into account that Phil is playing like dog balls and Tiger doesn't need someone he's beaten for 20 years telling him how to read a putt.

There's something beautiful about cypress trees like in the Italian countryside lined up on a golf course.

So, no Spieth and Reed pairing, at least not in the first set of matches.  Interesting considering their past success as a team.  I hate the time difference when we’re in Europe, I’m not gonna get home from work until 4:30 tomorrow afternoon, this sucks!!!!!!!

Morning Fourball pairings:

  1. Koepka/Finau vs. Rose/Rahm
  2. Johnson/Fowler vs. McIlory/Oleson
  3. Spieth/Thomas vs. Casey/Hatton
  4. Reed/Woods vs. Molinari/Fleetwood

That last match will be awesome. This US team is so deep, too. I'm not sure Europe would be favored to win any of these matches.

I'm just curious to see how Reed and Woods play together. They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, but does Woods really think that?

I also think the first match is going to be a really good and close one. Koepka and Rose seem like a good match, though Rahm seems to outclass Finau ever so slightly. 

Interestingly enough, Rose lost his top spot in the OWGR last week and Dustin Johnson jumped up from 3rd to first. Just goes to show how close the top 3 all were to each other that a 3rd and a T4 (along with their dropped events, and Koepka's T26) can make a swing like that possible in one week.

Do you honestly think that if Tiger didn't want to play with Reed, that he'd be playing with Reed?

I'd say yes he does. He likes Reed a lot. Mentored him at the 2016 Cup and helped motivate Reed to play some phenomenal golf in that event. 

Be interesting to see how things go for DJ/Koepka and Spieth/Reed. Those have been two very strong pairings for the American team in the past. Splitting them up could backfire on Furyk. We shall see how it goes!

Obviously I don't think they'd play together if Tiger actually didn't like Reed, I'm just curious if Tiger likes or dislikes Reed wearing his signature getup on Sundays. I was going to wonder if they'd coordinate their outfits as a joke, but then I remembered the whole Ryder cup team does that anyways.

      2024 TST Outing - June 1/2 @ EagleSticks and Virtues

      By StuM ·

      No, they will collect the "Stay & Play" cost at the Virtues on Sunday. I was a little surprised by that, I would collect on Saturday, but I guess the person doing the reservations & bills is located at the Virtues.  I think we can trust that none of us are going to run out on the bill and leave us in a lurch.

      Thanks for following up. Since you're going to be booking the stay and play packages, does that mean you have to put up the money up front?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      They're playing 16 games in each match though. Don't need much of an advantage before that number of players significantly loads things in their favor. The other team has to win 8.5 games to beat them. At a 65/35 split, that's a lot and pretty unlikely (about 10% of the time).

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By billchao ·

      Why does the second sentence have to be true? If they're used to playing a tough course that's improperly rated, they're going to both have inflated indexes and have higher skills relative to them. If their home course features a variety of different challenges, I don't see why their game wouldn't travel well. And on the flip side, some courses and their members take pride in how hard their course is and how tough it's rated, and that bit of vanity ends up hurting them in these kinds of competitions.

      I discussed it today but can call back and re-confirm.  I would love to be wrong on that point. Note: That may have been before they changed the hotel due to lack of room at Hampton Inn. Update on Friday Hotel: If I can give a count to EagleSticks they can get us a discount on Friday night at the hotel.  I do not have the $$ but should be much lower than the $249 the hotel quoted me. I do not have my list with me for the Friday hotels but if you want one, please post ASAP and I will get the rate and get them held. Thanks @billchao for catching this.
