3 strokes up to start the round. 5 strokes up most of the day. He faltered down the stretch to make it close.

Can’t have it both ways. Either the Tour Championship matters or the Cup matters.

No, that's my whole point.


The tournament mattered to some, the Cup mattered to others.

Going into the Tournament, all golfers could win the Cup if they won the tournament. By the last round, that number was down to 2.

I agree.

This isn't the same as winning a full field event.

_________________

The whole Cup thing is stupid. PGA should dump it; then again, they should undo a lot of things they've done, but that won't happen.

Not a mult.

100% agree.

Why didn't someone tell me golf was worth watching for a day?

They are changing the system next year, and not sure I agree with that either. Whoever is leading the points going into the championship starts
at -10 and then subsequent players start 2 or more strokes behind that depending on where you are in the top 30. Whoever wins the tournament
next year wins both the event and the Cup. Kind of goofy but I guess at least that way everyone knows where the leaderboard actually stands.
You look at that system this year and DeChambeau would have let a lot of the field in.

Is Tiger back? He's getting really damn close. He played much better this year than I thought he would especially in some of the majors and
big tournaments. Guys, he couldn't even hit balls more than 75 yards a year ago and he had a back fusion surgery. Pretty impressive no matter
how you feel about the guy personally. I'll be interested to see how he does in the "offseason". He is kind of a workaholic when it comes to his
game and now that he can smell a nice amount of blood in the water he is going to want to push himself up another level. I hope he can do that
without injuring himself. On to the Ryder Cup....

The Masters isn't a full field event either. I guess winning that isn't really a "win" according to you.

That day would have been Saturday, specifically the front 9. That was perhaps the best stretch of golf played by anybody outside of a Major winner this season.

Seeing the bitterness that a TW win produces made me reflect on 1996 and the dismissiveness evident by some of the tour pros at the time. Well, right up until the prize money blew up.

The Tiger Hate is alive and well on this board.

Tiger is no longer a threat to obliterate the Major record of a white man so he's cool now.

He's still got a chance.

If he ever wins another major, then he will truly be back.
