The 2017 Farmers Insurance Open Discussion Thread. Welcome back, Tiger!

[DrunkenTiger]

need 4 more birdies!

[Konklifer]

I'm a guy who has always believed Tiger will win more majors when he's healthy. I know it's two rounds but, if he isn't playing well by Augusta, I don't see how he'll win any more.

Sucks for Farmer's and CBS. Ratings will be in the dumps this weekend. Bad look for TM as well, unless Rose wins.

[snizzle]

It's a little disappointing. GC can't be too happy. Sir Faldo was all dusted off and ready to go this weekend too. Rose and Sneds at the top of the leaderboard could put on a show but all the big names missing the cut is not great for the ratings.

So is Jason Day going to be the subject of an etiquette thread. Hitting into the group ahead on a short par four, while they're on the green.

 

What is going on with that guy?

Yeah that was weird. I generally expect that from the drunk guy in the group behind me, but not the world#1.

Looks like Tiger and his playing partners will all get to rest their backs this weekend.. This has to be some of the worst driving from Tiger in a long time (and that says something) Maybe TM can glue him up a model. To bad he can't control himself and use his range swing. Gets out there and tries to stay with the younger guys and starts that stupid squatting..

 

Not really, just par for the recent course (just that the recency isn't very recent). In 2015, his driving accuracy was under 50% at an average of around 15 yards off the fairway with his misses, which was the worst on Tour at the time.

 

So far under 48%. Irons seem OK. DJ close to 20 yards longer with Driver. Old Scotty not so good either. At least no obvious wedge yips. Watching Tiger walk downhill not sure how the old back is going to like those long overseas flights..definitely stiffening up..

 

Augusta must quaking and considering Tiger proofing it again..

He's impatient? That happens to fast golfers occasionally. Oh wait, we're talking about Jason Day... Never mind :)

Much like it was with Glen, maybe he's also earned the "All Day" nickname.

[azkaevolution]

Streelman on the leaderboard with that damn Triton...

[Holy Moses]

As someone has said earlier, Tiger's caddie has a great job. Weekends off! Tiger can now work on designing those new TaylorMade Tiger blades too.

[MK7Golf21]

so Day, Johnson and Woods in the same group all missed the cut

[Rory4Pres]

Tiger, day And dj combine for +5...wow!

 

I hope Day gets fully healthy. He was sure fun to watch before his back issues. A healthy Day and DJ final pairing would be something!

What did Tiger, Day, and DJ combine for?

 

Sorry, my phone sucks.

[doublepar93]

At least for the weekend we can watch the golfers near the top of the leaderboard more, and not watch some has-been spray the ball all over the course.

DJ has an eagle putt to make the cut (unless My TV is paused and I'm behind)

[bscinstnct]

so Day, Johnson and Woods in the same group all missed the cut

 

Wonder what the line was on that?

 

Maybe they had little Rain Man suite thing planned for the weekend ; )

 

 

 

 

[djmohab2]

What's with this "aim 30 yards left with driver" nonsense that he's been doing the last few years? And he still misses fairways to the right. RIP Tiger.

[Shilgy]

I can't believe how bad Day and DJ are playing.

 

It's the Tiger effect. It used to be that he intimidated them, now he just drags them down to his level.

And I was about to guess they were just intimidated. :)

[c7015]

MC MC MC

 

every round playing with Tiger is like a major because of the crowd factor.

 

 

 

(Edit and I'm referring to JD / DJ / TW all missing the cut but having to deal with the insanity of that kind of crowd)

I'm waiting for the new thread to start..."Could a 4 HDCP Beat Tiger Woods?"

[Holy Moses]

Amazing how far to the left Tiger aims and in 2 seconds the ball is off my TV screen to the right

[the bishop]

Are we sure Hadwin is Canadian? Just watched his post-round interveiw w/GC and sounds pretty damn Californian to me. Make him say "house".

[bladehunter]

Welcome to the faMily !

[KYMAR]

Tiger will win this.

 

Oh noes! What happened? You were so confident!

[magills]

It always looks like his driver is too far back in his stance promoting that block/push to the right regardless of him aiming left.

[ChillyDipper]

well, it's not something "SoberTiger" would have said, so I'd give him the Big Cat a pass this time.

"Hoose"

He fooled you, he didn't say what "this" was!

[PZero]

The Russians hacked his swing. #NotMyTiger

[JonnyKrasnodar]

Well only another 72 hours before the bois are saying he's winning next week too. Peace and quiet for a few days.

 

As much as I dislike Faldo on commentary, he was the only one being honest about Tigers game this week.

Let's be honest - you care just as much as the 'bois'.
