Can’t believe there is no thread yet about this tournament. Tiger teeing it up tomorrow 29th of november together with Justin Thomas. I think he will be in the top 5 this tournament.

Top five is almost the top third, so yeah, that shouldn’t be too difficult.

Looking forward to it. Got my recording for tomorrow set and ready.

Might not be able to see much of this, but hoping that Rose can do well enough to regain #1

I like to watch the Hero, nothing better than watching golf when there is snow on the ground
However it is one of the events that I have an issue with how they are treated for OWGR.
IMO - to give the "Tiger" Invitational winner 48 points is disservice to all the other events recognized.

I just don't see winning this as being worth more points than a 2nd place in a tour event, or 3rd in a major; and 2nd place points in this being about the same as 4th in a major & 3rd in a tour event.

I mean you are only playing against 15 players, even if they are 15 of the top players in the world.

Just check the leaderboard...

Ugh.  I was hoping he would do better than DFL (at least through 12 holes)

Did you see the triple bogey? He tried to chip from the hazard and the ball spun back into the water. They he took a drop.

Yes, the tripple bogey was painfull to look at. Glad he made two birdies after that. His putting was also off, but nothing to worry about. Plays a lot better then a year ago. Allmost all his drives on the fairway. Still see him top 5 on sunday.

I was surprised at how low they didn't go in the first round.

Edit: Never mind, -7 is about right. I thought I remembered the lead was at -4, but I didn't watch all of the event. Derp.

LOL - the "best" part of this event is that a top 5 finish is also a bottom 10

LOL - I was totally wrong.
I should have said where a top10 finish also means a bottom 10, and where everybody gets a top 20 and OWGR points.

What a great season start for Tiger -

1st a top 5 finish (top 2 actually)

and now it looks like he's on track for a Top 20 finish at worst

I'm behind, but did he get penalized? Sure looks bad, IMO.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands

      Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
