Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.
Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.
Not, you kids never got to watch Jack in his prime. Plus Jack had better competition to play against.
Not taking anything away from Tiger, his comeback alone is more say so about him that his play. He has all the talent in the world, but the comeback with all the setbacks is his BIGGEST accomplishments.

Never thought this day would come. I thought he was toast. One of the greatest comebacks in sports history. Not the comeback he made to win today, the comeback he made from having a wrecked back and being addicted to pills. Just incredible to watch. Really happy for him. [Reply]

Only five golfers have won a major while being older than Tiger was today, since 1915. I think he gets another one, but his time is running out to reach Jack at 18. 3 more before he's 50? Still doubtful. But hes playing great. [Reply]

I never thought he'd win another tournament, and was 100% dead sure he would never win another major. All this is just icing on the cake. At this point I wouldn't put anything past him. [Reply]
That's nothing! My buddy is a scratch golfer and a hot head who has broken 20 clubs at a minimum and once threw his entire set in the lake at the 18th hole of our local home course. [Reply]
I was in a local brewery OHSO here in Scottsdale for a few early drinks and food not knowing they moved the starting times up so early. The bar got packed and everyone clapped and cheered when Tiger won.

I am really coming on to Tony Finau
I agree with both of these observations.
I can take or leave Tiger, but you cannot dispute what he’s meant to the game and his all time greatness.
I also really like Finau. His swing is just gorgeous, IMO. Short and compact with loads of power. [Reply]
