Wow! What a finish yesterday! That was a fun and amazing tournament to watch. Happy for Fowler. So much young talent on the tour these days. Even though Tiger played he was never a factor and I bet TV ratings were huge.

Really is more young talent than I've ever seen.

Rory, Spieth, Fowler, Day, Reed, etc.

That's a crazy talented group of 20-somethings.

I never had a problem with tiger, but I really like the tv coverage not being dominated by one player.

It's funny, I actually wanna see him play and win more now. It's like, when people say he can't, that's when he gets mad and wins.

Maybe this is the motivation he needs to practice and win.

Tiger isn't done. He'll win a few more. And it will always be fun to watch him make a push and one of those young guys having to hold him off. Golf is in a good spot right now.

If it's in a major the young guys won't have a problem holding Tiger off. He has never won one without having the lead thru 3 rounds.

Golf still needs some personalities tho.

Rory is the best currently, but gives about the most canned interview you can ask for, and he's not American. Not a whole lot of personality.

Spieth and Fowler are both "nice guys" and super classy.

Reed and Bubba are interesting characters and polarizing, but neither universally liked.

Phil has the older generation on lockdown. Tiger still does well with the 25-40 year olds, but who knows what's left with his career.

I'd like to see some personalities and/or greatness emerge from the young crop of American players (Justin Thomas, Beau Hossler, Ollie Schneiderjans, etc)

Hey Rickie, what did you think of Tiger's play this week?

I'm sorry, I didn't see him. I was busy winning.

Tiger will be back fellas, just give him some time to master the new swing. He's finally healthy and is able to practice a little.

That being said, I still think Butch is his key to beating Jacks record.

Agreed. He's gonna get one or two more.

Won't ever happen IMO. They have kind of dug their heels in about this. Their ego's can't coexist.

Tiger's problem recently has been his ability to come out of the gate and put up low numbers to start a tournament. He seems unable to have a fast start.
