First topic message reminder :

Happy New Year.  After a nearly a year and half, its time for a new thread.

39 ofthe 40 Players eligible to play Sentry ToC are playing.  Only one missing is Rory McIlroy.

Good weekend for Scandinavian golfers, with Nicolai Hojgaard cleaning up at the DPW Tour Championship as well.

Perhaps Mac can suggest a feline name for him.

Garfield?


Fat Bob secured his PGAT card. How badly will he struggle?

Just doesn't seem to thrive in uncomfortable environments. Although his waistline might struggle more than his golf on an American diet.

He'll get homesick because no one will be interested in hearing about "shinty"

Hojgaard was superb down the stretch in the DPW Tour Champ - he seems to have a much higher ceiling than his brother. It will be interesting to see how he does on the PGAT this upcoming year

Tiger and Rory's indoor golf league postponed until 2025. The tent got blown over.

Surprised you haven't been a bit more scathing of such a laughable "exhibition".

Watching the ridiculously contrived Hero World Challenge, does anyone else get the feeling they are watching a version of the Emperor’s New Clothes? Commentators and the media are waxing lyrical about Woods and how well he’s playing and how close he is to winning. I’m seeing a bloated individual (steroids?) limping and grimacing around the course and sweating so profusely that his trousers were almost see-through. I know it’s hot but no-one else was suffering like him. Pain and/or drugs can induce that reaction. I can’t understand how I (and his Lordship) seem to be only person who can see it.

Ladyputt

I agree, Tiger didn't look well by the end. Not sure we will see him once a month next year, as he claims his schedule will be.
