As a Tottenham fan you should be familiar with it - it’s usually the team just ahead of you in the table.

Just stop - he’s in the hunt and you know it. He’s 3 back - maybe ends up 5-6 back. If he shot another 66 tomorrow he’s top-5 or 10. That’s “in the hunt”.
I do not think he is in the hunt right now.
But, it was a genuine question about what constitutes "being in the hunt" - how many strokes back and/or how many golfers to pass.
Certainly, golfers can come from way back on a Sunday to win - but that is more the exception than the rule, I think. I would love to know what the average Saturday position is for the winners on tour.
I would not consider 5 strokes and 10+ golfers to pass to be in the hunt - that combination seems tough to break through.

He’s probably got about what 10-15% chance?
Good job for the old man. NBC loves it that’s for sure.

Now at 16-1...5th favorite. Obviously not likely, but way crazier stuff has happened.

How many majors has Tiger won when he was not leading going into the final round?

Last 2 winners at Carnoustie were 10 shots and 6 shots back entering Sunday.
He's 4 back tied for 6th.
I'll let you decide.

All this is doing is delaying Otis paying off his bet for another bunch of years.
Otis: "don't forget when Tiger got a top 10 in the 2018 british open. I know that was 15 years ago but he's still only 57 and needs just 4 titles to tie the gold bear from the pac 10"

yeah - not buying that.
Through 25 PGA events this year - the winner of the tournament was an average of 1 stroke back after 3 rounds.
15 led, or shared the lead after 3
2 were 1-shot back
4 were 2-shots back
2 were 3 shots back
1 was 4 shots back
1 was 5 shots back
That averages out to exactly 1 stroke back for the winner.
So, being 6 strokes back - is definitely not "in the hunt"
And at the two majors, the winner was also leading after 3.
Tiger is 4 shots out of the lead - he is not in the hunt right now. If he can claw back to 2 shots - then he is in the hunt.

A better question might be what is the biggest deficit Tiger has made up to win on Sunday.

You’re right...you have to go all the way back to June 24, 2018 to the last time someone 6 shots back on the final day came back to win a PGA Tour event.

I am pretty sure this is considered trolling these days....
Admittedly not as much trolling as you are doing to these poor people and the money you owe them...

But, i was told 6 back is in the hunt - EVERY TOURNAMENT
what you are saying is that is happens once every 2 years...
Do you hunt with Don Trump, Jr, by any chance?

He probably needs to shoot 8-10 under tomorrow to win. Too many people ahead of him, and you know darn well ONE of them will have a good round.

Sorry, I thought we were talking about Tiger. At the Hero World Challenge in December, Fowler came from 7 back. At the HSBC World Golf Championship in October, Justin Rose came back from 8 down. James Hahn came back from 7 down at the Sony Open in January to force a playoff.
Guess it was happening monthly back then.

If the weather gets crazy (like he said), this task of passing more people becomes more realistic.

The Bet shtick aside, Tiger can take a big step tomorrow without winning. No more excuses though...he’s needs to show he can finish.

I agree. If he can shoot 66-68 tomorrow it would be a huge confidence builder, even if he doesn't win. Not sure when the last time he shot 2 rounds in the 60's on the weekend when he was in relative contention.
