One of my favorite tournaments of the year, one of my favorite courses they play each year.  That duel in 2009 was amazing to watch.

I am hoping for top 3 finish for Tiger.  But his consistency has been iffy.  Seems like he takes two steps forward then takes a step back.  Ugh!

At least he's going in the right direction.

Well, let's see. The man is 42 years old, has had multiple back surgeries, and hasn't played pro level competitive golf in about 3 years! Plus, his personal life has been a mess, and he flushed his marriage down the toilet!

For all that, I don't think he's doing too badly.

Also, a friend called me today to set up a golf date for tomorrow. Said he checked the website to get grounds passes for the Bridgestone. You could get them for $45 per before Tiger qualified. They are now $145!

I thought I heard this morning that they're considering moving the course from Firestone and this may be the last year at that course? :-(

Tragic.  Such a nice course.  Was it a sponsorship thing or they're just tired of using the same course over and over or something else?

Already decided, yeah. That's one reason Tiger really wanted to play there. Having won there eight times, this will be his last chance at that course.

Quote

The move was announced today at a news conference Thursday morning at Firestone by PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, who also announced that the Bridgestone Senior Players tournament will be held at Firestone in 2019 from July 8-14. That contract is through 2022.

The reason for the change is simple.

"You've got to have a sponsor," Monahan said. "Bridgestone's strategy was changing and involving. Once we realized continuation with the WGC wasn't going to happen, we worked hard and they really worked hard as a great partner did and does to try and do everything they could to keep professional golf here again in Northeast Ohio."

Tiger has just teed off and is live on PGA Tour Live for those in a country with rights (USA?). The WGC events are unfortunately limited as far as PGA Tour Live in other countries go.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf. 
    • They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
