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!

Saw that. Sepp Straka also had a hole in one.

Aside from sandhill courses, growing truly penal rough and baking the greens out is the recipe, not Mike Davis' bull**** approach of having driveable Par 4s like it's the ****ing Waste Management Open.

They also need a standardized ball that spins more off the driver.

Tiger still using Bridgestone...makes you wonder if that's the problem lol

He's also 50 years old with a broken back and shattered leg. He's done and has been for years.

I wouldn’t say he was garbage. He actually hit the ball pretty damn well. Lipped a few putts and had 1 or 2 drives each round that got him in trouble. But I thought he looked better than he had all year in the 3 tourneys he played in.

Quite a few big names missed the cut. Day, Homa, Zalatoris, DJ, Rickie etc. Hell…Scottie only got him by a stroke or two.

He’s definitely not the Tiger of old but the ones who say he’s terrible and should hang it up confuse me. Only about 25-30 guys win golf tourneys each year. Tiger has only played in 3 total. I thought he looked healthier this week than at any point since the leg injury. If he can throw in a few more competitive rounds next year I think we’ll see some better golf still in the bag out of him.

Then shuffle off the green.

No one is forcing him to compete.

Jack kept playing (and missing cuts) at these things into his 50s as well. Who cares if he does? It's not harming anybody.

The only person that will keep Tiger from playing is himself. The players want him out there. The tour wants him to play forever. The fans still follow him more than anyone in the field. Morons like you are the only people that are mad he’s playing 4 tournaments a year.

He finished sixth at the Masters twice in his fifties and missed one cut. He made 7/10 cuts at the US Open, and 4/7 at the Open. I agree that Tiger isn't harming anyone, but you're unnecessarily denigrating Nicklaus to make your point.

Arnold Palmer is the one who held on too long.

Jack remains the greatest to play the game. He did it without performance enhancing drugs, private jets, or modern equipment.

I have no problem with Tiger or Phil, who seems to be much worse than Tiger these days.

I can't stand the really slow players, they drive me crazy.

That’s better than I recalled but he didn’t have a top 20 in a non-Augusta major from 1986 through the end of 2000 (when he effectively stopped playing them at age 60). He was a pretty uncompetitive golfer in the majors for most of his 50s, but he still drew crowds and nobody complained (nor should they have).

Tiger is gonna get an exemption to any major he wants for as long as he still wants to play and I don’t think anybody should take an issue with that.

I went to the US Senior Open at Ridgewood Country Club in New Jersey when I worked for Dean Witter in the early 90's.

I followed a foursome of Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Lee Trevino.

Great memories

Part of the reason I like Aberg so much is the way he plays.

I can’t stand the 10,000 waggles.
