I haven't even seen Jordan Speith's name for like 3 years now


He finished 3rd at the Masters and 2nd at the Open Championship last year so I think it’s fair to say you’re not watching a lot of golf.

His wedge game ain't great, but he's going to lead the field in OTT and SGP most weeks when he's healthy.


He’s not going to lead the field in Strokes:Gained Putting most weeks, but he has been a good putter the last couple years. His chipping, not great. But driving and and putting had been fantastic until his injuries.

If you cannot recognize Rickie has fallen off worse than everyone else then I am not going to waste time trying to reason with you.

If you think that’s what I’m arguing, then you’ve completely misinterpreted my post

don’t think it’ll ever happen. Tiger brought weight training and fitness to golf. Most pros were happy with a 275 yard drive. Tiger shows up and bombs them 325+. No one else was doing that at the time. Heck, he was driver wedge … on a par 5 on time.

Also, the money took off with Tiger as well, and it ain’t winner take all. You can come in top 5 in a series of tournaments , makes millions , fly private, and have a house in the islands.

I just don’t see someone showing up and dominating the way he did.

Exactly. It's like saying basketball needs another wilt. It just isn't gonna happen. There's too much money to be made.
