    Anyone else getting Tiger fatigue??  I know he moves the needle for ratings and everything, but it's getting pretty ridiculous....and this coming from someone who grew up worshipping Tiger.  So many other golfers playing a whole hell of a lot better than him to focus on.


    In 8 starts this season he has 2 top 5s and 4 top 15s.  Not too players on tour can make that claim.

    He is also 100% on the Ryder Cup team too, barring injury or his game completely falling off.

    Oh come on...let's be realistic here.  He challenged and was close to winning 1 tournament so far this year.  That's a claim a whole bunch of guys can make.  And he finished 8 shots back with the other top 5 finish.  Everything has been encouraging for him so far this year, but it just gets annoying sometimes.

    You really think 100% on the ryder cup team?  He definitely needs to win a tourney or 2 because he doesn't play nearly enough to qualify on points without a win.  And not sure if he would be worth a captains pick at this point.  Last I checked he was somewhere in the 30s for the rankings.

    I don't think he's that close to winning, though I thought he could this week.  That said, he has finished in the top 15 in half his starts after having his back fused and he is the best ever.  Cherry picking stats or not, it is pretty impressive.  He's gotta figure out a tee shot though.

    100% without a doubt with our without a win, so long as he keeps similar numbers to what he's been doing.   You think they're gonna pick Webb Simpson or Harman over him?  Do not see many players here you take over him at this point. He's on.

    Lucas Glover toward the top of the leaderboard. Must be trying to appease the wife lol. Finished with a bogey though so hopefully he travelled alone this week.

    There is a lot of parity in golf right now.  Tiger makes it a little more interesting.  It just seems so buddy, buddy right now where you are just watching people just enjoy earning a bunch of money.  They are competitive for sure,  but there isn’t much drama or rivalry like you would expect with so much talent out there.

    If he could have done anything with the putter today...wow. Iron play was ridiculous.

    I finally played my first round yesterday. 45-41. About what I expected but I didn’t expect my short irons to not show up. That’s usually the strength of my game. 4 lipped putts as well. Great to get out.

    Why is jacks signature course a rip off?

    i love the golf it produces but the least creative course on tour

    I rarely watch the euro tour but caught a bit of the Italian open this morning. Not bad.
