Yeah I agree.
Even saw him take a gherkin off his burger earlier.
True story

I saw him marking his balls with a sharpie, had me glued to the box.

Back watching.

Zalortoris
Great to see

Tiger’s just gone full Rahm on 18

 

[FELL75]

Tiger shank on 18

 

[BrianM]

Good to see Woodland and Zalatoris doing well after their troubles

 

[Slab]

By all means give him plenty of air time on the course but focusing on him chipping on the practice ground when there is lots of live action to see is a bit naff in my opinion.

Do we know for sure that the broadcaster didn't start their coverage earlier than they would usually, precisely to show build up with Tiger once they knew he was playing?

Bit of a nightmare finish for Rory

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Phil you use to be the one who moaned most on here about the coverage Tiger got.
What’s changed?
LIV??

Good point. It was as predicted and Tiger central. Hopefully the 2nd round coverage will calm down a bit, although I doubt it

Not been following much golf this week as I’m away but I’ve still been on ‘X’ all week, and musing through the forum, and genuinely didn’t even know he was playing.
The leaderboard yet again is uninspiring at this stage - Rory needs to make that cut or it’ll mean a few European fans zoning out for the weekend.

I think the leaderboard is decent tbf.
Plenty of big names shot under par.

I think the PGA Tour really want one of their superstars to win this week.

Of course they do. Why wouldn’t they?

PGA should be neutral......

I’m sure they are. But have nothing to do with the question!

The leaderboard looks exactly like a Tour event should - there are some players that are at the top of the tee - Scheffler , Cantlay , Speith , then there are the likes of Aberg and Tom Kim - it’s a diverse leaderboard which is what it should be - don’t want to see the same people every event at the top winning

Lol... That's it, I I've went right off him... Gherkins rock..

Does annoy me that, if you didn't want a gherkin then ask for it without. Waste of a perfectly good bit of gherkin. I love a gherkin on my burger, gives it a lovely bit of sharpness.

Scheffler 1st in Strokes Gained tee to green.

66th/70 in Strokes Gained putting…

He is the literal polar opposite of “putt for dough”… If he could just find a middle ground with his putting, he would be achieving peak Tiger levels of success.

It’s clearly very much in his head atm, there’s extra focus on his putts, he is over thinking and over reading everything.

Surely there’s a putting coach out there that could resolve whatever his issues are? It’s not even that he needs to learn to putt well, he just needs to putt slightly better!

I haven't been following his putting or anything, but has he tried anything outside the box yet? Like others have found success with claw grip, left hand low, arm locks, broom handles etc, but he seems to have just persevered with his standard grip, simple blade putter approach like some sort of staunch traditionalist.

Woods is currently ranked a lowly 893rd in the world, but all that can change hugely with a record 83rd PGA Tour title on Sunday.




He is currently tied on 82 PGA Tour wins with late great Sam Snead.

Should Woods win the 2024 Genesis Invitational, he could vault a whopping 839 spots to 54th in the OWGR.

OWGR is an oxymoron
