Official 2013 PGA Tour FEDEX CUP Discussion Thread - Page 28

If Tiger dies tomorrow, you still love the game of golf. That's because the game of golf is fun, not because Tiger Woods said it was fun.

I don't deny that he had a big impact on the game but people sometimes make it sound like Tiger Woods invented golf or something and that everyone used to hate golf before Tiger.

Just because some people require a GOAT to come along and GOAT to get into a sport doesn't mean that sport wasn't always fun.

No one said it wasn't fun pre-Tiger...?

Yeah I do. This is a pretty stacked leaderboard right now, even though Phil is starting to run away with it. Keegan, Haas, Paddy, Sneds, Mahan, and a host of others chasing.

Someone said Paddy was punting footballs all over the place @ 16 celebrating Ireland's win over Wales in the 6 Nations today

Phil #1 in GIR and proximity to hole. That's pretty nice.

Golf has been around for like 600 years or more. James II of Scotland tried to do away with it but he was a doucher.

Did your dad not like golf? I'm pretty sure a lot of kids, even raised in The Tiger Era, got into golf because their dad took them to a range and showed them how to swing. Just because they liked Tiger doesn't mean they got into golf because of Tiger. If Tiger didn't exist, their dad is likely still a fan of golf and still takes his son to the range one day. And then the kid might be saying "if not for Phil Mickelson, I would have never gotten into golf", while still being wrong.

I basically never watched golf until 2011, yet can remember playing golf and going to a driving range as far back as the late-'80s. I just always thought watching golf was boring, even if it was Tiger. Now I love watching golf and think it's exciting.

You kinda make it sound like kids in this generation just would not be playing golf if not for Tiger. Which is ridiculous and completely unfounded.

Dude really? both are arguably the best at their sport of all time, and certainly the most dominant in their era.

Tiger influenced many golfers throughout the world, to deny his substantial impact on purse size, participation, and many other golf related items because you don't like him as a person is shortsighted.

my take for this tourney so far.

Phil is going to run away and hide tomorrow.
Is it just me or does Keegan really have a difficult time turn things around when he has a bad stretch? He could have won at Doral last year and just imploded.

Love,love,love Ryan Moore. I wear those tr****** shoes also very comfortable.

Our club pro (Jason Schmul, who is as long as anyone on tour, he's an animal) made it to Whistling straights last PGA there and played with Troy Matteson, said Troy was a very cool guy and supportive. I hope he can pull out a win this season. had a real chance last season but faded at the John Deere.

Like Snedeker's chances a lot tomorrow. Fun player to watch regardless.

The Jake And The Ballwashers segment was the most idiotic thing I've ever seen in my life.

Well if I can't lol Phil, I will certainly LOL Keegan. So unpleasant to watch play.

I hope Phil ships it huge tomorrow by like 12. Maybe Tiger will get off his ass and play more then.

Just report a post next time this happens and I'll move them there. If he's not in the field and it becomes a derail, it's better off there. It's containment for a reason. Haven't been following this thread for a couple of weeks.

Thanks.

(Disclaimer: someone did exactly this a couple of days ago but I was away for the most part and didn't address it as planned.)

Also, JOHNNY. <3 <3 <3 Would be fine with CBS having the Super Bowl every year because then it means NBC will cover the Phoenix Open.

At a skim didn't see this mentioned, but today's Haas-Bradley-Mickelson final group was the same trio that had the dramatic finish and playoff last year at Riviera.

Was out golfing today, weather was as good as it looked on TV. Absolutely incredible day.

Why don't instead of you saying Tiger = Jordan, you show some proof?

Just because you like him as a person ... etc.

This is a golf forum. Try posting "Tiger = Jordan" in an NBA forum and see what kind of responses you get. You'd probably get banned for trolling.
