2019 PGA Tour

[ger147]

First tournament of 2019 underway in Hawaii.

So far we have Rory with a new putter, DJ with a new driver and DeChambeau putting with the pin in. And a young guy called Cameron Champ smashing his driver past Rory, DJ et al, so VERY long off the tee.

Longer, but can't hit the 85 yard WIDE fairway on the 18th!

Apparently made a Par 4 on a hole where he hit his drive OOB. 2nd drive on to the green and holed the putt for a Par.

130mph swing speed and 6* launch angle ,,,,,jeez.

Quite enjoyed the coverage last night as couldn't sleep.

Enjoyed watching Bryson and his quirks and Champ is a monster with those distances still finished - 2 without having his 100% best, if he can hit a few more fairways with that length it will be a good year for him

Glad some decent golf back on the TV, do like that course. Only saw about 30 mins last night as had early start today, but sure I'll be watching tonight for a bit. Hopefully Rory can sort his woes from last year and have a better season this year.

Rory looked like he was playing well, some of his putts were really good.

Didn't manage to catch any of it as way too late for me on a work night. Am I right in assuming this is for the winners of PGA tour events in 2018? What putter is McIlroy using?

Didn’t really notice it was late.

How slow is he though.
Did he putt many with pin in ?
Only saw a bit and he had it out.
Didn’t see anyone with it in on the green.

He's probably a bit Langeresque with his pace but I do like him and his quirkiness, swing and approach to the game but would be good to speed up a little.


As shown in the link in the other post he led field in strokes gained putting and he putted a lot with the flag stick left in

Langeresque? Was just about to google this then got it.
That’s a good fit.

Agree he’s not your average tour pro but he would have a lot more fans if he was not so hard to watch.

I don't have the length and can still miss an 85 yard wide fairway. I must be really guff!

Looks like a TM spider tour black model.

Wait. When did the 2018 season finish? I get confused, it never seems to end.

When Tiger holes the winning putt at the tour championship.
Think was a week later the 2019 season started.

But odd though because looking at this year's schedule due to PGA moving forward the tour championship which is the last event of the year is at the end of August....

Great for European scheduling but makes following PGA tour next neason hard to work out. Its more like a football season now in its wraparound effect

Expect Wilson Staff are enjoying a bit of time atop the leaderboard currently.

How did Woodland get a drop without penalty there?

I thought that I heard them mention animals so presumably rule 16
