Who will be #1 on Monday?
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 Invitationals and has never finished lower than fourth.
What’s your vote and why?Strive for perfection, but never expect it!

I think Tiger's performance at the NEC will be a reflection of his desire to be the best...he is now in a position where he is up against the wall, and needs to preform in order to keep his ranking...we all know he has the game to win, it's jsut a matter of wethere or not it's a priority anymore.
If tiger wants it, i think he can take it..i just don't know if he wants it..but we all know vijay does..so if tiger doesn't come on strong, vijay will walk away with it.

You would think Tiger would play awesome this week, but he has tried for a while now to do so and sort of hasn't, I say VJ takes over #1.

Im gonna stick with Tiger. I think when he really feels it, he digs deep. I think he still wants #1.

Not Tiger!
He has tried his best the last few tounaments he has played in, but has come up short. I dont think this week will any different.
IMO, VJ ihas bee playing the best golf over the long haul and will be rewarded for his efforts this week.I've spent most of my life golfing .... the rest I've just wasted"

If he was reading this I bet he would have called Butch a long time ago. I guess maybe he missed that post (or two) too.
At least with all his endorsements he's still NO.1 at the bank!!I've spent most of my life golfing .... the rest I've just wasted"

I hope Singh grabs #1 this week for two reasons:
First, he deserves it. I admit I am a Tiger fan but I will tip my hat to Vijay for his awesome season.
Second, this should shake up Tiger a bit knowing that is no longer the best although he isn’t the best for the last year or so.
I would love to see the big fore playing there best to see who really is the #1.Strive for perfection, but never expect it!

It would be great to see a new #1, unfortunately this week I think Tiger will rise to the occasion. First round update VJ - 73, Tiger -3 2 holes remaining.

Always luv watching Tiger putting all the pieces into place. Getting Cink to go up by 5 on thursday is wonderfull strategy.
Thanks for making our weekend.
Singh is just trying to copy Tiger and come from behind. Unlike Tiger though I like his chances better.I've spent most of my life golfing .... the rest I've just wasted"

(although he is showing potential for this weekend)

Steve, steve, steve. Singh, +2. Woods, -2.
Care for a friendly wager? If Woods BEATS SINGH, you have to say, "YYAAA, Tiger. You're the best"...and thats it. If Singh beats Tiger, all Tiger fans have to do the same.

My vote is Tiger, although he'll finish 2nd this weekend to Weir. I don't mind if Tiger loses just not to the "I'm so godd cuz I [play 3 times the tournaments as everyone else" Singh guy!!!!! Good season yes, best golfer in the world, no. Deserving tobe number one, inconclusive to me. Scoing average is Mickelson and Els, not Singh, I like Els. Let's go Weirsy & Woods!!!

The thing i don't like about Singh playing ALL the tournaments is that he plays in some of the tournaments that are near the end of the season, and that as a general rule, the top guys don't show to...
I don't like this, because it's nice to see some of the guys struggling to have a good chance at a prize...these are the tournaments that these guys wait all year for...having someoen like vijay show up prolly stings a little...just my 2 cents

08-20-2004 02:34 PM #22Hey ONe of those late season tourneys is the Canadian Open. I want the best to show up. VJ is there year in and year out. That's why I like the guy.
Side Note about Canadian Open...... also to be there with VJ are Weir, Ames, Verplank, Howell, Daily, Choi ............................... So it will have some of the best there and more.I've spent most of my life golfing .... the rest I've just wasted"

There is only one thing I like about VJ - he appears to love the game and the competition and that to me is a true athlete. I respect the guy for going out there every week to win no matter what his status on the tour he is. The one thing that I do not like about this arrangement is people then start to believe the #1 money leader is the best player on the tour.

i never said not to show up to any of them...it's just that there are alot of late season events where you see a leader board full of new names, and Vijay...a tournament where all the other top players didn't show...then at the end of the day you see him holding a trophy...happened alot last year...he played alot of weak fields.. ipersonally don't respect that, and would, if in his position, step away from those events.

I would have voted for myself, but it wasn't an option (will have to speak to the pollsters about this, as it happens far too often....... )
Doesn't look good for Singh and Els at the moment. I doubt Tiger will win, but he looks like he'll stay atop the ranking for another week.....

I'd like to see the PGA step in and set a minimum for tourneys per season barring injury. If you have the good fortune (and obviously skill) to hold a Tour card, it's kind of pompous not to use it. It'd be like Derek Jeter or Martin Brodeur saying "coach, I think I'll sit this one out. I just don't feel like playing today".
