2013-14 PGA Tour thread - Golf and Golf Tournament Forum

With the President's Cup wrapping whenever it stops raining, it's time to start thinking ahead to the next golf season.

No real off-season this year, with the first time the season follows many other North American sports schedules. Regular events beginning in early October, ending in mid-August. Same four FedEx Cup events to end the season, with the Tour Championship finishing it all off on September 14.

FedEx Cup points start accumulating right away from next weekend's Frys.com Open. Ryder Cup points also start from the Frys.com open.

Questions for the new season...

Something something Tiger Woods something major something?
Will Rory McIlroy get back to his winning ways?
Is Anthony Kim still alive?
How can Jordan Spieth follow his ridiculous rookie year?
Can Henrik Stenson continue his incredible run?

Let us golf again.

Number of Tiger wins
Number of Tiger majors
Number of Tiger top-10 majors

Number of Phil wins
Number of Phil majors
Number of Phil top-10 majors

Fed-Ex champion
Money leader
Most titles

US Open winner
British Open winner
PGA winner

Number of titles for Spieth
Number of titles for Rory

I think Putnam and Peterson will have incredible years but I don't see anyone doing what Spieth did for quite awhile. I wanna see if Watney returns to form and if Woodland gets over the hump as a top 30 golfer to a top tier.

I'm going to guess he was looking for a geographic location, not an animal, for the Ryder Cup winner.

I wonder how the elite players will treat the Fall events. They were usually an afterthought for some players. But with the full FedEx points and more money, will be interesting to see. A lot of top players skipped this week, wonder if they'll be in Vegas next week?

Spieth and Tiger to win 6/7 tournaments (including two majors probably - one at least) between them.

Ryder Cup going to be close - USA have the better running players atm, but that doesn't stop us.

Hope Rory and Luke get their Mojo back, and that Lee can win a Major, and if not, that Luke or Ian Poulter can find just 4 rounds in themselves also.
