hunter would be dope

i still think tiger has a chance

[hbktonyb]

I'd take a healthy Tiger over everyone, but if he's not healthy, Keegan and Sneds are my 2 picks.

[weller3377]

Tiger said he's out. Kind of glad. Want him to get a full recovery and start next year healthy. Give that back time to heal.

[hbktonyb]

Yup he's done until December.

[Noles20]

he should be an assistant captain, like Sergio was a few years ago.

Tiger FINALLY drops Foley. Hells to the yes.

[timsaleeby]

Lacava is next...hopefully.

[hbktonyb]

Good. He ruined his driving.

[BruceW]

Wonder who he is eyeing for next...I know his camp reached out to Butch before Foley but got denied...big choice for Tiger

I'd bet anything that he will go back with Butch, but Brandel Chamblee would make for an interesting relationship!

[ToySoldier#34]

Just make a Haney Project with Tiger for a few months!

Butch says FU Tiger!!

[pathetic]

just scored a pair of tickets to the Deutsche bank this weekend. valid for any day. I have my golf league playoff sunday morning so i'm probably heading over early monday for the last round. anyone else going?

i've never been to an event. what should i expect? i'd like to follow one of the last few groups if possible

[whodat]

Sad to say, but I didn't watch one round of the last 2-3 tournaments, and absolutely nothing from this weekend. As much as the Fed-Ex Cup has given the players something to play for, along with a huge payday, unless you have names in the running the TV audience will not be there. Short of revamping the entire PGA calendar to have the playoffs end over Labor Day weekend, they have to do something to keep the TV audience tuned in. Once football starts it is tough to pull those viewers and get people excited.

Rory was in every sunday tourney and Jim Furyk had a great couple of weeks. Names like Billy Horschell and Kirk aren't going to bring many viewers, but it was great golf.

Billy Horschell had the best post-season fedex run in history. I think Snedecker had the record in the past winning the playoffs from the 19th position. Billy came from high 60s and played the best golf of his life the last month or so. it was great to watch

Wish there was a way the US could get Billy on the Ryder Cup team, would be nice to have the hottest player on the planet playing for our country. Personally, it's probably good for him because his wife is due during the Cup, but damn it would be good to have him right now.

[Noles20]

I didn't watch any of the TC but only because I was on the golf course both weekend afternoons. That's one of the biggest problems that golf contends with when it comes to getting ratings. It's not like the NFL loses out on viewers because they are out playing football.

Who needs him when you have Mahan and Simpson though, they are on fire!!

I agree that it there was great golf, as I was reading the recaps the next day on ESPN. As for names, Rory is the hottest product in golf right now, but I think if Ricky Fowler could have been there it would have helped getting people to watch. IMO, the average American golf viewer wants to see named American golfers winning on the PGA or Fed-Ex cup. Simply look at the US Open this year with Martin Kaymer running away with the tournament and not a care was had here. (Up until this weekend, Horschell was not a named American golfer.) If Rory had won it all, it would have capped off one of the best years if gold by a single player in over a decade.

Read about Horschell coming out of nowhere to win it all this morning, but it never got a whiff on any major sports or news outlets until AFTER he won it all. This is where the PGA needs to to crank up the marketing machine to get people excited when this stuff is happening. Tough with the Ryder Cup right around the corner, but I think a huge opportunity was missed to get a good sports story out there with all the other crap going on right now.

as good as Billy's playing i think i'd rather have Keegan or Webb over him right now.

Billy played some great golf the last month, but i think the pressures of the ryder cup would get to him. he's an extremely emotional guy and that's a huge reason why he's been non-existent on the PGA tour up until now.

[hbktonyb]

Didn't watch any of it, just don't care about the Fed Ex Championship. Plus there is too much football on.

The Masters - cut
Players - cut
US Open - T45
Open Championship - cut
PGA Championship - cut

Webb does have some top 10's but there has to be better options, hopefully he proves the pick to be a good one

similar to poulter's in 2012. he was god awful before having one of the best ryder cups ever

[whodat]

There are PGA golfers, then there are Ryder Cup golfers. There is something different in a match play golfer that can put it together for those big moments. Phil, Furyk, Leonard come to mind. Regardless, love the Ryder Cup... best three days of golf.

i can't wait! my USA ryder cup hat is due in thursday (per fedex tracking!) had to order it online

I went to dicks sporting goods, most local golf shops, a bunch of course pro-shops, and a couple other places. no one had anything ryder cup related except for grips lol

[timsaleeby]

Tiger returns (again) tomorrow. Can't wait to see if his new swing holds up.

[Noles20]

Can't wait to watch.

[hbktonyb]

I just want him to be healthy so he can have a strong 2015.

[Rodey]

Tiger sucks

[dmbolp]

Driving to Orlando after work tomorrow, going to the tournament FRI, playing SAT morning and then back to the tournament in the afternoon, play SUN morning, drive by to ATL SUN night.
