Hero World Challenge 2018

[MacDutch]

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

C'mon Tigs.

Wow, 2019 season in session already!! Still feels like silly season. Make it count T...

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.

[Yukari]

I did not see it but read about it.

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

Back to math-school 😂

[Wally Fairway]

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.

 

 

[MacDutch]

That didn’t look good, Tigers chip out of the bush on 18...

[rehmwa]

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

[iacas]

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