Looking forward to it.

 

The Tiger and JT pairing is definitely a favourite of mine.

[rukahs]

Tiger and JT = Tiger will be 2 over after 18 seeing JT swing that fast and try and keep up. JT will be 1 or 2 under. Leader will be 5 under and Tiger will be struggling all weekend to try and fight back. :)

Did you watch last year?

[andrieddle]

Was Koepka not invited?

[pheenomz4774]

Was Koepka not invited?

 

He very well may have been. But from everything we've seen and heard about Brooks, an event like this probably wouldn't interest him. He's probably in the middle of a 6-8 week break where he's rarely thinking about golf.

[BrianMcG]

No special invite to the 1,199 ranked player this year?

[Golfingfanatic]

I wonder if Tiger will wear new kicks. About time to show us the TW19

[GMR]

Bill Haas playing in the pro-am but not invited to the event itself? Seems very odd...is that normal? Why's he even there if he wasn't invited to play?

[dropkicked]

^I'm guessing 'cus Bahamas?....

[Scotty1140]

No special invite to thev1,199 ranked player this year?

 

Who is it??

 

That would have been pretty cool IMO if Tiger would have invited worth # 1199 this year haha.

Apparently it's Welshman James Frazer...

SUPER surprising that Mr. Frazer did not receive the invitation...

Was Koepka not invited?

 

If he hadn't been we would have definitely heard from someone in his camp telling us that he wasn't bothered about not being invited.

[bscinstnct]

Holy crap! This starts tomorrow?

 

Tigerrrrrrrrrrrr!

Koepka played in Japan 2 weeks ago

I know, I thought it was still almost a month away!

Lol. Didn’t watch last year aye ? Opposite happened. Tiger blew it by JT on many holes. That was a year ago.

[youdamantiger]

I doubt it will happen given his...ahem...less than stellar performance last week but I hope Tiger wins.

 

At the Tour Champs the "Young Guns" who are supposed to be unbeatable were given a proper whatfor by a 42 year old man a year removed from back fusion. I'm sick of their musical-chair mediocrity. Let 'em see what a real champion is made of.

[QMany]

I’m oddly excited for this event, I don’t know why. Maybe because we haven’t seen the top dogs since France.

[Hawkeye77]

Stenson and Rose with the Burl Ives pairing - "Silver and Gold, Silver and Gold."

 

Looks like a good way to spend a wintry weekend.

That's hideous! Yuck!

[Hawkeye77]

Watson and Reed because nobody wanted to play with either. Reed still can't believe he wasn't Jordan's partner for the honeymoon.

Pimping hard! TW keeps his pimp hand strong..

[getair23]

Pat Perez, still never getting invited.

I wonder if they had an issue in the past. Perez is popular and it seems like a cool dude.

PP talked a lot of smack about TW prior to his comeback. I was surprised to see him as a commentator at “The Match”.

Thanks! Perez is definitely unfiltered.
