Forum: Tour Talk

Just read that Tiger, John Daly, and Vijay Singh will play together Thursday and Friday at Whistling Straits in the PGA. Any thoughts?? Crowd control? Cameras and Sir Williams? Beer guzzlers chearing for JD? Ho hum day for VJ? :-)

Norman withdraws from PGA Championship http://www.golfweb.com/tournaments/pgachampionship/story/7570811 Good move. He could have just as easily taken up space for 2 days and shot a million.

Anybody want to win $3,000,000 ? http://www.bigstakesgolf.com

Interesting developments at the PGA... So far the projected cut is +1. Tiger is at +2. If Els wins and Tiger finishes lower than T-2, then Ernie becomes #1, and Tiger shares the record with Norman. If Ernie finishes 2nd then Tiger can do no worse than 16th. If Tiger misses the cut, then Vijay...

If you're watching the Golf Channel, check out the Alberta Classic. I used to be a member there. Course still looks great. :-)

I was just looking at the PGA money list and decided to find out how much $ per PGA event VJ, Els, Mickelson and Woods won. Els, Mickelson and Woods all have a higher $ per tour event than VJ. So, when looking at the money stats, it can be deceiving sometimes. I guess that is why the World...

Is it just me or has Mike reduced his playing schedule? I would have though this week in Boston would have been a good setup for him. He may still be 7th in the world rankings... but his game is starting to resemble 2 years back. :confused

This probably explains his less then dominant play for the past two years! http://www.thegolfchannel.com/core.aspx?page=15101&select=14192

All Singh needs to do to wrest the No. 1 ranking in the world away from Woods is finish higher if both are in the top 10 or in a tie if they are outside that number at the NEC. Do not forget that wining is what Woods has done best at Firestone Country Club. He won the first three NEC...

Hot off the press: http://www.golfweek.com/articles/2004/business/news/40273.asp Quite a coup for Callaway if he ends up signing with them.

Even though his game is way off what it used to be, it was nice to see him play the first two days of the Open. I hope he can bring it back to how he was! On that same note, Tiger needs to NOT be #1 anymore.

Anyone see access Hollywwod (or somehting similar to that show) about Tiger and his fiancee calling it quits??? :division

Tiger's new ball.

Congratulation to Tiger Woods for his consistency and excellence in golf and holding #1 in the World Golf Ranking for over 5 consecutive years. Way to go Tiger way to go. Lets see how many days or weeks the New #1 will stay a top of the world ranking. :-)

I thought I seeing things but David Duval is actually leading the Bell Canadian Open, still early, but awesome to see.

VJ was looking very bad yesterday after his first 9 holes. +4 after 9. He is destroying his second 9 holes with an amazing –7 in 8 hole stretch. WOW!

Not sure if this was previously discussed... Why isn't Tiger in the field? Some of the other Ryder Cup players are doing both. Maybe its only a "major" for us Canadians, I thought it was a big tourney that the top players wanted to be part of.

Not sure if anyone has Bell ExpressVu, but I was flipping through a few nights ago and apparently there si a special channel for the tournament that lets you choose if you want to watch the Network feed, speciific holes and even follow specific groups (if they're being taped). Just a heads up...

Mike Wier is co-leader a5 -5 after hole 3 of the second round. Go Mike! It would be so great if he can win this one. :Canadian

I think Vijay Singh deserves to be Number One. He has won five tournaments on the PGA Tour in one year and the PGA Championship. He surely deserves to be rewarded for his hard work and consistency. Golfer Ignacio Garrido also seems to be saying the same thing. He praises Singh in an article ...

Let's get a Ryder cup thread going. Who do you fancy to win the cup and by what score. I'll start by saying: EUROPE EUROPE EUROPE EUROPE EUROPE! 14.5 to 13.5 (v close).

If the US is finished off early, will the rest of the team stay on the course or not?? :confused

This gives a explanation of why some players may not do as well in the team format. Perhaps this is more of a North American perspective. ---In prime position to qualify for his first Presidents Cup team next year, Stephen Ames indicated Tuesday that he might take a pass on the biennial matches...

TSN starting coverage. Woooohoooooooo :party

Man is this guy on fire or what, I'm sure he'll win AT LEAST 10 times this year if not not more and the guy never looks tired especially since he is soooooooo OLD :)

Tiger hurt his back on a plane and may not play in the WGC this weekend: http://www.worldgolfchampionships.com/news/story/r473/7733681

While watching the golf on Saturday I heard Mickelson had missed his tee time & was DQ'd & nobody knew where he was. That's the last I heard about it. Anyone know what happened to Phil ?

Just heard on CTV news, that Tiger got married in Barbados. Anybody else hear this?

This one for you Mr.Karam http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/golf/10/27/bc.glf.ballesteros.assault.ap/index.html

I am so happy :-) :-) . I don't have to listen allears to Curtis the Strange any more :-):noddin :hotbounce :groupwave:party Nick Faldo & Paul Azinger on the mike in 2005. These guys are good. (Especially Nick)

Nice to see him on top of the leaderboard, even if it is friday.

Can you believe it ? I wonder (I doubt it) if his sponsors are getting nervous due to all those big bucks they paid him.....nah....he's still the biggest attraction on Tour.

Believe it or not: http://cbs.sportsline.com/golf/story/7868458

Read this story I found on another forum, I can't imagine what the odds would be: An associate of mine has an interesting "lost ball" story. One Saturday he was playing at a local course and lost his ball. He puts a distinguishing mark on the ball, his first name in red. Well he lost one of...

During champions tour qualifying this week local golfer Graham Gunn was DQ'd from the competition. I wonder what he did? :shake

Hey all you Tiger Fans..... This just in.................. Tiger Finally wins an event!!! Oh boy ,............. he beat a whole bunch of guys in the proccess. He beat them by 8 shots. The guy is unbelievable. The guy is just that good. No way any of those talented players had a chance at...

Phil broke the 60 and shot 13 under today to lead the grand slam event. Great performance and congratulations to him. way to go Phil way to go. :party

Some of you probably Know Carl Desjardins, local boy from the Hawkesbury area. He started his career as assistant pro at Casselview a few years ago. He is now sitting T84 in the PGA Tour Q-School finals in California. The 2nd of 6 rounds is just starting. Go Carl!

VJ was named PGA "Player of the Year". :-)

Anybody else see the new Winn Grips commercial with Butch Harmon ??? Wonder what Tiger's gonna have to say about it. It was hilarious to say the least. :lol2 :lol2

What do you think are the chances he'll keep that lead through the weekend?

Watched the 1st show tonight, pretty good. I think Peter Jacobson's sidekick they added will make it funny and once again the female co-host doesn't seem to add very much to the show.
