Tiger is back!

Does he make the cut?

I'm digging Harry Higgs right now. He's out there walking around with a gut and is sponsored by Dude Wipes.

Guys I like:

Rahm
Henley
Spieth
Morikawa
 
Nice to see someone mention the Masters. It is kind of a big thing. With the resurgence of golf since the pandemic, I was surprised to see so little golf talk. For the past two seasons the golf courses are packed, can't even get a tee time on some. Some of the courses I play say the business is the best they ever seen.
Glad to see Tiger in the field, I'd say he makes the cut baring an injury. Who will win? Hard to say. I'd kind of like to see Rory get the career grand slam but don't expect it. I like Sheffler as he's in good form but lacks experience there. I like Spieth too but he's been on and off.

Golf courses stayed busy through covid. After the initial two month lockdown, the golf course was a sanctuary from the pandemic. I remember pieces of swimming pool noodles stuffed in the cups to prevent hand to hand transmission. By last summer, things were pretty normal on the course, even played a couple outings. The Masters is when my mind turns to golf. Wouldn't mind seeing a Rory slam, but I think his time is past. The young guys rule right now and I don't think a Tiger appearance will change that. I'll take Berger to win.
 
Tiger looks far better than expected. Scottie is playing some nice golf lately too.

Justin Thomas and Finau blow.
 
Thanks for reminding me. My dad attended the Masters back in 2015 or 2016 and brought home an official Masters shirt that actually fit my mom and me. Every time I wear that in public now, I get so many compliments on it from golf dudes who are jealous that they don't have an official Masters shirt and have never been able to attend.

I like Spieth, too, but he hasn't won a major since 2017 after a strong start. It's hard for some of these players (Rory, etc.) who start out hot for a couple or so years, but then can't do it year-in and year-out like Jack and Tiger did (Tiger before his scandal, of course).
 
I remember Jack charging on Sunday and winning his 18th major with a final round 65.

Ben Crenshaw won the week his longtime caddie died. Another special moment.

Tiger winning a couple years ago was electric.

But his 71 today after what he’s been through was a testament to a man whose sheer will to compete overcame obstacles that would have stopped many great athletes. Much respect to this competitor who never quits.
 
Tiger started off round two shakey and out of sorts. Bogeyed 4 of 5 early holes. I seen him miss several putts that were so close to going in. I didn't see much of the round but he must of made a little comeback; he's at +1 on 15. Cut will probably be +4. He's not out of it as most of the field had a tough day except Scheffler who's at -6. Tiger hit a nice shot on par 3 16th, had a 6 ft birdie putt, just burned the edge, damn.
 
Is there really a player sponsored by Dude Wipes?

Guess which of these guys is sponsored by Dude Wipes:

I threw $25 on him making the cut at plus odds for the hell of it. Looks like I'm going to Sizzler!

There is actually still a Sizzler here in phoenix that i pass from time to time.
 
Saw that 13/16 golfers with a 5+ stroke lead in a major have held on to win, so I dropped $50 on Scheffeler to win at +100. Let's see how this goes.
 
Should be no surprise that Scheffler and Smith are at the top. They’ve been the two best players in golf by a decent margin in 2022.
 
So happy for Scheffler. There wasn’t much suspense today. But, I like watching him play. Very solid.
