Except when there is 10 million and POY up for grabs.

No shot every player votes Tiger. Geoff Ogilvy tweeted out Sunday night he thinks Adam Scott is POY.

Players are clearly more biased. Yes they may have gotten to the same POY as the points but they do it in different ways. There's no way the players vote unanimously every year for the winner, so you have X% of the tour saying the wrong player should be player of the year.

And?

That is their opinion. Its ok to have an opinion.

The players have said countless numbers of times the highest honor you can get is to be voted in by your peers. They might be biased, but they never get it wrong.

2+2 has now entered Bizarro World.

BO

NXT is right, BO is wrong. Shocker.

Is this all real? I know you guys love trolling Bo but my god these threads are ******ed. I have never seen someone get so upset over the comments of a retired hall of famer, TV commentator that have zero bearing on the actual award. Perhaps Faldo is just filling time..perhaps he truly believes that...but jesus dude it just doesn't matter. He has never once (that I am aware of) been accused of racism and suddenly because he has a contrarian view he is a racist. GTFO.

I assume Bo was being hyperbolic when he said EVERY player would vote for Tiger. Obviously some wouldn't for a variety of reasons some of which would be sketchy.

But I GUARANTEE you players would care more about a vote from their competitors than some points system. Players are human, the respect of their peers carries a lot of weight. If you don't understand this, sorry to say it, it is because you have never played.

Go on trolling tho...BTW there are still 3 more events before any of this matters.

bwslim,

dont take ARC seriously. He's the biggest troll in the golf forum.

you are bringing popularity into it though. Which should have absolutely nothing to do with POY. Of course they want win the popular vote - it means they had a great season and they are well liked.

fwiw, I had ARC blocked for a little while (first and only, lol). The thing you've gotta realize, every now and then he really hits one out of the park. Once you read Faldouche or Racist, you can skip the post, but the rest of his stuff is usually either funny, or reasonably well thought out.

He was the first person I blocked, but then I realized using the ignore feature is for pussies.

Not true. Here's what one player said, on Friday, when Tiger was ahead in victories by 5 to 1.

Source: http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/20...dVL/story.html (an article that lists Scott as the favorite for PoY)

This article is more reasonable, as it says Tiger is the favorite unless Phil or Scott win another tourney, which seems about right: http://www.golfdigest.com/golf-tours...rom-decid.html

Slim gets it.

BO

Can a player vote for themselves?

Do you honestly think Tiger would vote for Phil?

So when Tiger has tee'd it up he hasn't played great Stewart? Can't believe this sapp has a Major.

Yeah that would be like this thread trying to get a unanimous vote for the worst poster. I doubt that "one poster" would vote for himself so it would all be for not.

“I would vote for Adam Scott right now,” Stewart Cink said last Friday, before Scott’s win at the Barclays. “Even though Tiger’s won more, I think when Adam’s played, he’s played great. He’s got a major win, and he just really elevated his game, seems to be a factor every single time he’s teed it up.”

What a moran.

Scott seems to be a factor every single time? Well Tiger is a factor every time he tees it up.

Cink is not exactly known as a brain surgeon.

It's the "belly putter brethren" obv.

Why did that kunt muncher have to beat Tom Watson? So sickening.

Cink has a vested interest in seeing one-time major winners exalted above all others.

See? This is all I was trying to say earlier. Leaving votes up to players brings the sub-IQed ape vote into the picture as well as personal bias.

Computers >>>>> Cink AINEC

No computer would ever vote Scott pre-Barclays win. Not even Hal 9000 after he went rogue. "I'm sorry, Dave, but Tiger has had the better season."

Woods-Scott-Mickelson grouped together for first two rounds of Deutsche Bank.

The pairings for the initial days of FedEx tour events are by FedEx points.

I think the players should vote on the pairings.
