Tiger and I would like to thank you all for your support. It's been a long and arduous road, and a year ago we weren't sure where we would be at the end of this season. But you all believed in us, and

I guess you're right. It just seems weird to me.

Part of what might help you feel better about it:  the better someone plays during the season, the less the stars have to align for them to win one here beyond them winning (or at least doing pretty well).  There's a reason Tiger has these scenarios he needs to happen to get the cup, while Bryson could have just won the tournament (easier said than done of course) to get the cup.

Rose playing with danger there. Should make a birdie now and secure the FEC.

Tiger putting on 17, I think I heard his heartbeat on TV.

And with that tee-shot Tiger most likely secured the tournament.

It's such a strange tournament and playoff system. Tiger wins it, and Rose gets the biggest check.

Good for Rose! He's had a poor day at the job. That final birdie made up for it.

Weren't you just complaining that Tiger could win the cup by winning one tournament? Now it's Rose winning. Rose winning the FedEx Cup spanning the entire season. Tiger wins one tournament where everyone started equal on Thursday. It's only reasonable Rose gets the bigger check.

You can't have playoffs like they do in American Football. Then the final tournament would just be two players.

Incredible pictures from Atlanta now. Look at that crowd! Tiger for his win number 80! What a way to do it.

I wasn't complaining about Tiger. If you look back I said it's weird how a guy could win the entire playoff with his first win of the season. Then I said the Final has a strange feel. One guy wins, another gets a bigger check. It's just so different from any other sport's playoff system.

The Monster Energy Cup works on a similar premise.

Tiger wins a short field, no cut event.

Meh.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      @DeadMan, I think your approach makes sense. As @dennyjones said, consistency is the key.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 204 (22 Nov 24) - Weekly men’s group round today.  Temps in the upper 40’s, WNW winds 5-15mph - was the old man in the foursome (next youngest is my junior by 10yrs) - held my own against them.  Iron play getting more consistent -seeing predictable ball flights and distances. While the consistency coming around still had sone solid negatives as I had two dbls and one triple. On the plus side - eight pars and one birdie.

      I don't think anyone will really care.   It's your call.  Just be consistent.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By DeadMan ·

      Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.
