And on topic, I think Rory does have more talent in terms of the golf swing and ball striking, but Tiger has a lot of other things in his favour. Such as mental game, green reading, playing his best while under pressure etc.

Off topic, but this made me curious so I did some research: Tiger has shot 75 or worse in the final round of a major 7 times, most notably in the 2009 PGA when he had a 2 shot lead entering the tournament. His worst round in a major is an 81 in the '02 Open.

Solo 10th. I'm sure if Donald finished tied 2nd with 30 other people behind Rory then Rory would win too

He doesn't need a win or a total collapse. He needs both. Rory must win AND Donald must finish 10th or worse...he can't get it done with anything else.

It won't. He is over 2 points behind....a win would gain him about 1.1 points. Kaymer and Lee cannot win. Kaymer is over €1million behind Luke and Westwood is almost 2 million behind. Charl Schwartzel is actually ahead of Westwood. First prize is €922,000 meaning even if they won and Luke didn't win any money they still couldn't catch him. The only possible outcomes are Luke winning it (most likely) or Rory winning it (unlikely)

Rory is too far behind to become the #1 in the world with a win. Unless you consider the winner of the European Tour the best player in the World?

"You make it sound as if I'm on my last leg," McIlroy joked on Golf Channel’s “Morning Drive” on Tuesday. "It's not so bad. My energy levels just haven't been 100 percent. Just got more tests done today and have to wait on the results. But I feel fine. Need to do all I can to catch Luke." He's fine, he won last week with it so it can't be that bad

Tee times: http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=2011/tournamentid=2011091/teetimes/index.html Looking forward to watching the last 2 groups (especially the last 1) Whatever happens, someone will end up being the 1st player to win €5million in 1 season on the Tour.

I was only defending his stupid hat........... I do like Rickie, I just think that he has been completely overrated and overexposed. There's plenty of other young golfers more deserving of the attention. I'm also not sure why you think I have a "beef w/ the kid" and that it's obvious to you. I doubt I've posted about him more than 5 times on this forum.

I better join the Tiger lover brigade around here so I can blend in and get this Rory stuff off my back

Great to see Noh and Sang-Moon Bae both getting their cards. The Asians are coming to take over the tour, just like the LPGA

Rickie Fowler's stupid hat has likely earned him more money than his actual golf game

There's already about 27 million threads in Tour Talk

Tiger posted it on twitter, in case anyone thinks I've gone nuts.

Don't call it a comeback I been here for years Rockin' my peers Puttin' suckers in fear

Looks like a thread about Tiger's 2012 PGA season to me Quote:

Pity we won't see him again now until Abu Dhabi in a month and a half. That will be a great showdown of the world's best players to start the season!

Fair enough..... I'll take note that from now on, whenever one of my favourites win, I can put my opinion on the win in it's very own thread

Was there really a need for yet another thread about it? It just makes the forum messy....

Tiger, Rory and Lee all winning today, not a bad week to be a golf fan

It will be great to see Luke and Rory paired together for the first round next week. Pity I won't be able to watch it live

Pariya Junhasavasdikul averaged 351.3 yards off the tee this week

I think he will scrape over the line this time

Westwood has been poor all season, but when he holes a few putts he tends to win. 3 wins this year, but not the season he had hoped for.

Events 23 Wins 3 Top 5s 11 Top 10s 15 Over $7 million in prize money won Not a bad season he is having
