Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.

Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.

I am ready to see some water balls!

Masters did allow ESPN to resume second-round coverage at 7 a.m. CDT today. I'd imagine it will do the same with CBS and third-round coverage. But instead of cutting it off after the third round, the Masters should just allow CBS to go right into the fourth round, instead of having the window with only online coverage.

He'll be lucky to play another Masters again.

Wonder if Tiger shows up tomorrow or withdraws after today's showing?

The guy could barely walk and reach for the ball by the end of today's round. I'd be surprised if he tried to walk 27+ tomorrow.

Yep, you were correct.

The rain delay is letting us watch more golf than when it was live.

He is a big faker. Everytime a round goes south he starts limping.

Or more likely, he’s just old, broken and done.

The guy’s leg was completely shattered and then surgically repaired and he can’t move/walk like he once did or swing anywhere near the same speed he did before that happened, but why let facts get in the way of a good narrative?

Walking that hilly course with the ground being so soft is taking a toll on TW for sure.

I'd be shocked if Tiger played tomorrow. That's not just his leg, that's his lower back as well. He's probably going to be feeling at least 50%-75% or so of that pain tomorrow when he wakes up. If he can get to sleep.

I hate to say it, but he may go down the road of pain killer/fentanyl use or over dose.

I sure hope not

He got into this by popping pills. But yeah, I hope he doesn't go down that road.

So disappointed right now. I know a percentage of how he's feeling right now and it's just miserable.

It appears I am far from the only person pissed off at the incredibly shitty coverage of this event.

Twitter fans voicing pretty negative comments. They are richly deserved.

The WORST coverage of any golf event in my lifetime, let alone the most watched Major.

It's a great example why people are sick of the pompous PGA and places like stuck up Augusta.

The PGA has nothing to do with it. If they had their way the entire thing would probably be on TV. Heck I'd bet the LIV guys probably would push for that too. Augusta does what it wants and nobody is going to cross them.

To a point but I think the PGA has some input, just not like other events including Majors.

Shame on the PGA for getting steamrolled by Augusta.
