might as well start one up for the new season

tiger 11 back in dubai with rory in second after the third round

2/1/2014 4:05:59 PM

Tiger 7 birdies through 15

moved up from 66th to t-9

3/1/2014 10:45:29 AM

This round has been a complete clusterfuck for the leaders.

You have to be kicking yourself for not winning the damn thing outright if you are any of the guys in the playoff right now.

3/2/2014 6:08:48 PM

then tiger shoots a 5 over through 13 and withdraws with back spasms

3/2/2014 6:34:16 PM

whats funny is that it worked out PERFECTLY for Tiger. All of the leaders came back. He shoots a -3 and hes in the playoff. His body is beginning to fail him. I don't think we'll have a Tiger Woods in golf for much much longer.

3/3/2014 10:39:43 AM

I can't believe he is not going to break Nicklaus's record.

3/3/2014 10:59:20 AM

I don't think his body is failing him as much as his mind.

Just thinking over his career, he used to be a player that would see the correct shot type and just imagine it, then fire, almost in an unconscious way. It didn't matter how he needed to flight it or work it to get it in there, there was no unplayable shot for him. His biggest attribute despite the long game over the glory years was fearless putting. He used to an absolute monster with the flat stick. Nobody could hang with him around the greens 10 years ago.

Now, he labors over every shot. He tries to play that one cut shot into every hole, even when the ideal shot might be something completely different. He barely has any confidence in his putter anymore, and you're almost surprised when he makes anything over 10 feet when before you were surprised when he missed from that distance.

He still has the physical tools, but I think he might be damaged enough between the ears to never regain that youthful attitude of invincibility he once carried.

back surgery for tiger to fix pinched nerve/herniated disk...no masters for him...i would guess he may be ready for US Open but i wouldn't bet on it. Sucks too since it's in Pinehurst.

4/1/2014 1:29:23 PM

I think Tiger is basically done. Golf needs to find its next guy to really latch on to. Between all the girl problems and injuries his once promising career has never been the same, which is a shame. I keep hoping he will get back to that greatness, but stuff like this just keeps happening. Guess we all get old huh

4/1/2014 2:43:49 PM

How will not playing the masters affect Tiger's chances of winning the masters? I hope ESPN has more on this, because I'm lost.

Tiger can win for a long time even still IMO...I just think it's time for him to change his game...stop trying to be a power golfer off the tee. He's the best long iron player in the game so there's no reason for him to keep missing fairways so badly. doesn't take a violent swing to hit fairways on tour.

4/2/2014 8:54:32 AM

that's gotta rank up there in the best clutch shots ever

went to quail hollow today...phenomenal golf course and in Augusta National quality condition (went to masters in '09)...very impressed in my first trip there

5/1/2014 10:22:35 PM

Yeah- I was out there yesterday over at 16/17. Loved what they did with the upgrades.

Can't wait to see the PGA Championship in 2017.

5/3/2014 11:19:27 AM

Rory jumped 53 spots today

5/3/2014 11:54:49 AM

Mickelson is -7 through 9 holes today and now tied for the lead. He went -7 in 6 holes compiling 5 birdies and an eagle.

5/3/2014 1:20:50 PM

Phil has zero confidence. pretty tough to watch

go Jim

5/4/2014 4:09:48 PM

Those last 2 posts sum up golf perfectly.

5/4/2014 7:06:29 PM

Phil was hitting short putts way too hard...he's gotta calm that shit down for pinehurst

5/4/2014 8:34:41 PM

This Stadium Course has to be one of the most fun to play courses in the country

5/8/2014 4:46:02 PM

Got tickets to the three practice rounds of the US Open in Pinehurst today. Pumped, never been to a major before

5/15/2014 9:15:12 PM

For Christmas I got my folks two tickets to the final round. The passes and info packet were shipped to my house a couple weeks ago and it was all I could do not to keep them for myself.

No. 2 has been redone and looks like it's going to be a lot more punishing than before. Should make for a good weekend of golf.

5/16/2014 9:15:13 AM

I'm taking a customer on Thursday and going with friends on Friday. I've been lucky enough to play that course many times (gf's dad was a member in high school) and attend both previous Opens.

You never get a full idea of exactly how small the usable area of the green is with their upside down bowl shapes on TV. It's a great wedge player's course.

5/16/2014 9:30:31 AM

has anyone been to a practice round before? how was it?

5/16/2014 10:01:33 AM

Working in the merchandise tent a few days for the mens and a couple for the womens. I'll spend the rest of the week watching and playing some area golf.

The rates some of the courses are jacking their prices up is ridiculous.

5/16/2014 1:51:25 PM

bump for Tim Clark

looking for his first win since the 2010 Players Championship

5/25/2014 2:07:19 PM

Rory and Scott with big wins today. Alot of other big names on both leader boards. Setting up to be a good Open.

5/25/2014 9:03:20 PM

Played the Dormie Club for the first time yesterday.

I highly recommend it for any golf purist. There are no frills. The beauty of it is in the simplicity of the whole thing. The clubhouse is this tiny log cabin, there are no homes on the course, and no cart paths. It's just an outstanding layout in the middle of the sand hills.

I'll post a couple pics when I get them up.

Sounds like Tobacco Road, one of my favorite courses. Play it every October.

6/8/2014 6:49:00 PM

I wouldn't consider Tobacco Road a "no frills" course by any means. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the hell out of my round at TR (and fired a 77 out of nowhere), but I thought it's a rather gimmicky course.

6/9/2014 10:51:59 AM

I agree. It's a neat course...but it's anything but no frills.

6/9/2014 11:04:34 AM

Fucking love the blind approach on that hole.

6/9/2014 1:24:12 PM

That's what she said

6/9/2014 1:45:12 PM

Of all the holes on that course, I always play that one the best. Never shot worse than par on that hole.

Now the rest of the course...thats a different story.

6/11/2014 11:26:04 AM

Tournament I played in today. Needless to say, I played poorly.

any idea why Dustin Johnson is taking his indefinite leave of absence?

8/1/2014 10:03:48 AM

Friend of a friend of a friend of a friend stories seem to say coke problems.

8/1/2014 10:10:13 AM

I think he hurt his nose.

8/1/2014 10:24:07 AM

Could be that he broke his dick inside Wayne Gretzky's daughter. Don't want to rule that out.

8/1/2014 10:46:56 AM

What's the best way to find 4-man scramble tournaments around Raleigh? I am a member at Riverwood, so I usually only get to glance at the bulletin boards there and Eagle Ridge. I've browsed triad golf magazine, but didn't know if anyone else knew of a better place to look (i.e. newspaper, website, etc.)?

Already picked up a new sponsor!

8/1/2014 4:23:11 PM

really makes his name unfortunate ....

8/1/2014 6:46:41 PM

Tiger is officially done.

He'll never be back.

8/3/2014 2:28:45 PM

8/3/2014 8:10:16 PM

I'm not nearly as confident as I was a year or two ago that he'd still break Jack's majors record

But you can play golf professionally until you're really old, compared to other sports. It's kind of silly to count him out.

I do wonder why he still uses his back to bend down and pick up his tee though. Maybe try using your legs, Tiger?

8/3/2014 9:12:22 PM

I think it's over. but you can play golf until you're 1000 yr old. at this rate...yep

it amazes me that Tiger is arguably the greatest athlete to play his sport and is STILL playing second fiddle to Jack when it comes to what matter the most in golf. smh
