Rory, Tiger, and Phil all back in form.

just my opinion but i think of all the players who've played unbelievably for a couple of years since TW decline that Rory was the best of them.

having said, i didn't (still don't??) believe he'll get back to a mega-elite form. i think majors will be the big test.

looking at his record the last few years, his "slump" performance is something that many other players dream of. but i do think he considered himself lost.

very excited that he seems to be back as he's very good to watch

That 374 yd drive by Rory was insane, he just obliterated it.

I'm not ready to jump on the "Rory's putting woes are over" train quite yet though. He putted out of his mind this week, but it's one week. He has always run hot and cold on the greens.

btw, what happened to rory's huge nike deal?.. after a google break... they signed an extension last year even though nike doesn't make clubs. of course, was/is free to play any other equip and take their money i'd assume.

i thought rory's original nike deal was 10 years ($250MM) but i wonder if there were all kinds of outs for both rory and nike. i.e. they did 5 years then another 5 if both want to do it. but they sold it to media as 10 year deal

Finally got home and watched the DVR. For a second Tiger had life but it wouldn't have mattered. Rory is fun to watch when he is on.

watching it live, tiger was "there" and amazing feeling swept through. but you are right that it was fleeting as TW went OB and ending up losing by alot with decent play the rest of the way. the other players may have had a par 5 in hand on TW when he got close.

it'll be interesting to see if the TW intimidation factor comes back at all. common sense says "no" but common sense would have argued it never should have been nearly as big as it was.

re: TW intimidation... was watching UCONN woman beat a team 142 to 50 in the tourney. i have no idea how they caused opponent to go 10 for 60 on three pointers. it certainly isn't being in their face defensively. but it happens over and over again. so it's real

He probably won't ever get that intimidation back. These young guys have never gone out against him and gotten blown away but 3, 4 or 5 shots a round. That said the galleries he brings might not be intimidating but they sure are big and difficult to deal with if they let it get in their heads.

If Tiger not driving the ball great is still around the top 10 each week then he wins several tournaments and catches Sam Snead fairly easily. I think he probably has 2 or 3 majors in him which I am sure will get him in the mix week in and week out which is fun.

What did those graphics say. Was he something like 56 for 56 from 9 feet and in this week.

How will his body hold up given that he's swing faster than he used to??

If your a advertiser or the PGA as whole you gotta love the fact. Phil wins, Rory Wins, Tiger is almost there. Ratings must be through the roof compared to last year

Should be just fine. The way he finishes doesn't seem to put much stress on the back. Nothing like the old left knee snap, doesn't seem to be restricting the hips or whatever he was doing with Foley.

I usually hate all commercials, but I love this one. The little girl is adorable and she's got a great swing.

I like the round robin format, the good players are more likely to advance leading to better and more entertaining matchups for the late rounds.

match play is ok change from most weeks... but when it gets down to SF and finals, there's not enough action to fill the telecast. it's like following one group at a tourney which is deadly slow around greens and between full shots.

i see luke list used a wedge to putt from most of the round (bent putter apparently). can he replace the putter? i assume it has to be the same model (same grip). pro shop probably can't help but don't all the companies have reps there with all the equipment someone could need.
