Justin Thomas, PGA Player of the Year - can't argue with that, he's my choice as well. Can't wait for next season, especially the majors.

Agreed on JT time for a TV golf break this off season is pointless other than giving the new guys a head start with there careers

I find it hard work watching Tyrrell Hatton his demeanor just annoys me, wtf has he got to moan about lol 😱

And Hatton wins back to back. Can't say the kid isn't a talent.

Hatton is 'The King'

A couple weeks, a couple million! Enjoy that free burger, son.

Dustin Johnson is a murderous devil!

And now DJ is leading after round 2 of the WGC- HBC Champions after shooting a 9 under 63. He's already won 5 WGC Championships. I hope he wins this, and wins The Masters in April!

Crazy - Johnson was up 6 shots at the final turn, but scored a final round 77 in losing to Justin Rose's 67. Won't catch the scrutiny of history since it's not a major, but that is a huge comeback.

You're in big trouble, pal.

Love the movie, I'm ready for part two.

Tiger talk

No mention of the great Tigger 👁 #Tiger

I know Ricey, it's like everybody's holding their breath. He's off to a great start, but I wonder how long this will hold up.

This seems to be the throwback to the early 2000s week. Tiger playing quite well despite a few hiccups. Mike Weir came in 15th in the Australian PGA Championship. All its missing is Singh, Furyk and Els and then we're covered.

 

[grilldoggy]

I am impressed with Tiger's latest comeback, though just one tournament. 3 rounds in the 60's points to improvement in my book - he bested a handful of great players. Ratings for the Hero World Challenge were good because of his return. All good for golf!

Hopefully a while longer

MikeWeir has played about 6/7 european tour events and not played well, must be really hard for him. But credit to carry on something he loves that has become so hard to earn a living.

RIP Tommy Horton

Former Ryder Cup golfer Tommy Horton has died at the age of 76.
Horton, who lived in Jersey, played for Great Britain and Ireland in the 1975 and 1977 Ryder Cups - both of which were won by the United States.
He also won four European Tour events and 23 events on the European Seniors Tour - topping its money list in 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999.


Saw Tommy H play at Woburn a few years ago on the Seniors tour. Great player who got better with age.

I guess the 'hero' tournament didn't count towards the world rankings - TWoods still #668.

Hero definitely counted... Woods was almost 1100th before the tourney.

I walk with his brother at the Memorial every year and have met Mike a few times. Very nice guy. Just an unfortunate injury to his elbow that made him completely change his swing due to ligament damage.


Weirsy has had a few decent finishes recently though. T35 in Fiji with a bad back, he shot 4 under in a Monday Qualifier for the Shriners Open, and then he had the T15 in Australia.


He got an invite to the CareerBuilder Challenge in January where we won in 2003 and will probably get one to Pebble as well. He needs to make the most out of those invites.

golf balls to the wall

Wow, the accuracy here is, in fact, not a good thing!

[Ricey155]

World rankings for Tiger wouldn't matter he's going to get invites at every event. Pretty sure if your a past winner you get entry to the event for pretty much life.

plus earnings alone he's in the events. glad to see him back and going well. nobody wants to see anyone injured or hurt and cannot be competative


bring on 2018

Woods @ Farmers finishes tied for 23rd, not bad. Can clearly work on a few issues in his game and improve. Would love to see him in Augusta again.https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2018/farmers-insurance-open/leaderboard.html
