PGA Tour 2008

[EliSnow]

We're about 6 weeks into the new golf season. Tiger's got a couple victories under his belt, and is in the finals of the Accenture Match Play Tournament. The big question is whether he can pull off the Grand Slam this year, as each of the Majors are being played at courses where Tiger has kicked ass at one time or another.

Phil Mickelson may have a great year as well, having one victory now, and has had plenty of time with Butch Harmon. But he lost in the second round of the Accenture.

I'm really looking forward to this golf year.

[PhilDeez]

Yeah, this year should be nice. Tiger is on a role. He has won the last 5 or 6 international events he has entered in a row.
Phil is playing well, losing in match play really isn't that indicative of how he is playing. Hopefully additional time with Harmon will help him win a couple more majors or at least make things more competitive for Tiger.
Would love to see a Tiger/Phil final pairing at the Masters!

[CountryBob]

Tiger will "Grand Slam" it this year if one thing dosent fail him - his putting. That is where he wins these tourneys.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

now that i play, I watch also


I have been kicking ass recently in my first year of Fantasy Golf

It is Scary

I have the 1st (Brian Gay) 2nd (Matt Kuchar) and 3rd (Steve Marino) place golfers this week

Tiger is a Machine, he only gets better

I dont think he will Gland Slam it, but this is his year yet again

[TheGameHHH]

I've watched at least some of every tourament so far this year and obviously Tiger is a beast. It was nice to see Phil win in L.A., I was happy for him. I don't get too excited about Golf until the Masters, so i'll hit this thread up again in April.

The best example of HDTV is watching golf. Goddamn, the difference is AMAZING.

[riverofpiss]

I was at the Accenture Matchplay in Tucson this past weekend and it was the best event I have ever personally been to. I watched Tiger hit just about every shot in his last two matches and most of the time I could get fairly close. The sound of his irons making impact is something I don't think I will ever forget or hear again from anybody else.

what about bowling in HD ???????

I remember a couple years ago when the Masters was first broadcast in HD, I almost cried it was so beautiful.

[TheGameHHH]

im playing golf on sunday, i know it isnt a PGA related post but i love that ive managed to get out and play 5 times since january 1st. this will help shape my game for when i head to Myrtle in May. Is anybody decent playing in the Honda this weekend?

[EliSnow]

Tiger again pulled off the unbelievable, winning Arnie Palmer's Invitational with a 25 foot putt. He's now tied with Ben Hogan with 64 PGA tour wins, and is 18 behind Sam Snead for the all-time title.

Can't wait for the Masters.

what a awesome 25 ft birdie

Tiger still gets happy when he wins

He owns golf, poor Bart Bryant, he played the event of his life

It's been awhile since Tiger was that revved up for a win. It's not often he's own on a last putt.

[TheGameHHH]

I just think its a pleasure that currently the greatest golfer of all time is a part of my generation.

I agree wholeheartedly. Years from now, I can talk about how I watched Michael Jordan and Tigers Woods dominate their sports.

truer words have never been spoken

[TheGameHHH]

have any of you guys ever seen Tiger play live? hes one of the few greats ive never seen live. ive seen a lot of greats, jordan, kobe, a-rod, brady, gretzky, lemieux, but never tiger. i need to see him before its all over.

[EliSnow]

After one day at Doral, Ogilvy is at -7 under, with Tiger and Phil both at -5. Although he had a 67, Tiger doesn't seem happy with the way he putted (he three putted 18), so he's probably pretty angry at himself, which doesn't bode well for the rest of the field.

[TheGameHHH]

I'd love to see a Tiger v. Phil Sunday showdown at Doral this weekend. It would make for a nice little Masters preview.

[EliSnow]

Tiger gets an eagle on three, and is now tied for the lead.

Let's see if he gives up the lead at all for the rest of the tournament.

[EliSnow]

After the third round, Ogilvy is at -16 under. Tiger's five benind at -11.

I don't think Tiger's ever come back from this far behind during 4th round.

[Snoogans]

this would tie his biggest final round comeback.
I dont think its likely based on the way he has played, however Vijay and someone else shot 63 yesterday/this morn and with the rain making greens hold better, you never know. The way ogilvy has hit, i think he is gonna hold on to it

[EliSnow]

The Masters starts today.

Can't wait til the weekend to lay on my couch all day watching this in HD.

[Tall_James]

I'll be playing this instead of watching:

[TheGameHHH]

Is there no true live first round coverage of this tournament? I know Tiger teed off at 10:45am but ESPN doesn't start their coverage till 4pm. Thats gay, even though the weekend is clearly the most important and i know that will be live.

The partners, etc. at Augusta have certain unique restrictions on television coverage of the Masters. I can't remember them all.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

-4 for a leader after the first round, not too shabby, Tiger is right where he wants to be

[TheGameHHH]

yea, solid first day......Lefty looks on his game, and Zach Johnson surprised me today.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

I was out all day

but does anyone have Direct TV, they have coverage on a few different holes

I wanted to know how that was

[Tenbatsuzen]

Tiger is not playing well, but others are levelling off, except for Immelman.

[TheGameHHH]

If Immelman puts up four straight days under 70, then he deserves this green jacket. Otherwise I'm still rooting for Tiger

[EliSnow]

Tiger has to get to -8 or -9 under to have a chance to win.

And that means Immelman has to implode somewhat.

And Tiger has to get his shit together. I don't think either is gonna happen.

[EliSnow]

I don't think it's very likely now.

[EliSnow]

Immelman slips to -10.

If Tiger could get on a streak, a couple birdies now, he could build more pressure on these guys and they could start making big mistakes.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Business, as they say, is picking up.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Never mind. That bogey Tiger picked up just effectively messed him up.

[Tall_James]

Tiger ain't that great. I just beat his ass soundly in the "Tiger Challenge" on my Xbox.

I rule.

No but I found out that our former au pair is now working in a casino in the midwest and dating her ex-boyfriend who is a....

If she's dating her ex-boyfriend, doesn't that make him a current boyfriend?

And by working in a midwest casino, do you mean cocktail wiatress?

Has anyone ever gone to a PGA event? I would imagine that like baseball, golf is much more interesting in person than on TV.

[EliSnow]

I was at the U.S. Open when it was at Schinnecock. There is something about being at an event in person that you can't get while watching tv.

But because of the crowds and the fact that you can't be at every place at once, like cameras can, you don't see much of the tournament.

I was happier to be at home watching the end on tv rather than being there in person.

[EliSnow]

Wow.

Tiger finishes at -5, not putting well all day.

But, right now he's in second, and Immelman just double bogied 16 to fall back to -8.

I can't see Immelman losing three strokes in two holes, but if he did, it would be unbelievable.

[EliSnow]

This week's British Open is like taking a trip in the Wayback Machine as Greg "The Shark" Norman leads the Open after two rounds at even. I guess getting married to Chris Evert puts some spring back into his game and life.

And David Duval is tied for 3rd at 2 over.

BTW, Mickelson is at 9 over after 15 holes. I'm not sure he'll make the cut.

I know Mickelson leads with FedEx points right now (with Tiger out), but his performance at the Majors this year has been very disappointing.

Looks like I misread the scores. Mickelson is at 10 over after 7.

Congratulations to the two time, two time, two time Open Champion

Up the Irish!!!

[epo]

Greg Norman proved why he is Greg Norman today. Seriously, this guys entire career is one choke job after the other. He's like Mickelson without the wins. Ugghh.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

What a surprise , Sharkie folds in the final round


the open needed his near heroics to fill Tiger's void
