He doesn’t look off though. His ball striking is on. He’s moving the ball both ways. Hitting the stinger. Playing every shot. He’s one of the best in the world now.
I'm not especially a golf guy, but I would have thought putting would be way easier to fix than irons.
Putting is reading the greens, stroke, and a fine touch off how fast/strong your putting stroke is.
Putting tends to get harder with age.
Yes. That’s the weird thing.
Exactly.
This is the Tiger Woods thread. He’s playing today. There may be some discussion of him playing.
Ok. I’ll post in this thread if that’s the case. You may need to remind me.Might as well be playing in the Waffle House corporate scramble
Rolling it well, but still missing big middle to short range. Looks like mis-reads. Interesting interview i heard this morning with Hank Haney, who said Tiger was such a great natural putter when he was with him that he didn't practice much compared to most. So when he wasn't putting well, he just practiced more and got it back. I bet he's grinding over the practice greens now.
This is Tiger. He can go on a run winning 4 majors in a couple years in the blink of an eye.
I don’t think anybody alive has a real chance of doing that. The field is far too competitive right now.
This. He's consistently putting himself in a position to win. Not a lot of golfers doing that.
Surprised he’s not adding a tourney considering the 8 Firestone wins. But there is a lot of golf left IF you include the full Playoff run and the Ryder Cup (which he is).
I can only think of two reasons why he would be on the Ryder Cup team. One would be sportsmanship and fair play to give the European team a chance to compete. The second would be for TV ratings.
His 3 top-10s in 11 events has him in the top 72 on the PGA Tour. (tied with 34 other people at 3)
No. It's part of WGC. Top 50 OWGR only.
He clearly thinks he can make it and is likely getting feedback it’s possible, with a really strong finish.
He's ranked 22nd in money per event played.
And he averages 6.23 points per tourney this year which would put him at 10th in OWGR over 40 tournaments.
it is a tourney only for the elite.Jayrok said:
He’s only been in contention to win twice this year. Which is impressive, don’t get me wrong. But to suggest he is consistently in contention is wrong. In fact, he hasn’t been “in contention” to win since he blew up on 15 at bay hill in mid March. And, he wasn’t winning that tourney even if he didn’t blow up (Rory unstoppable that day).Otis said:
See, this is the drivel that I just don’t understand. He’s not top 10 right now, but even if all he does is stay healthy for two years and play at the same level he currently is, he will be top 10 in OWGR by the end of next year.
I don’t think he will be in the top 10 if he plays the way he is currently. Cherry pick whatever metric you want.
He's hitting fairways and greens now. Only a matter of time. Look at the players who finished behind him this week. He can win any week he gets hot with the putter.
Agree. He is one of 40-50 guys who *could win any week. Lightning in a bottle and all that.
