tiger really silencing the haters today.

Yeah, but look at my boy Big JD sittin' pretty at +11; dead ass last. At least Tiger is 4 ahead of him.

I’m not going to count Tiger out (in general, not this event) until he says he’s done. I’ve got a story…

Several years ago when it seemed like Tiger was washed, a friend of mine at my former golf club started accepting a couple of Tiger related bets. He’s a big gambler as were many of us at the club. The three bets were: Tiger will never win again, Tiger will never be top 50 in the world again, and then with extra odds Tiger will never win another major.

Then Eastlake happens and he takes a bath on both the tourney win and moving into the top 50. But when Tiger won Augusta he was truly fucked. I won $500 total from him (just said he’d win another event, not a major) and while he never confirmed the amount, I’m pretty sure Tiger cost him close to $20k when all was said and done.

Moral of the story: be careful who you count out.

calling it for scottie already, he is five back with 2 days left. lowry and rose are steady but not the players to hold off a charging scottie. my wag is he gets within three of the lead saturday, wins it sunday.

fyi, for golf fans that would watch olympic golf, its aug 1-4, 72 hole, 4 day; just like on tour; top 3 finishers get medals.

Advertisers and sponsors are getting no value:

Viewership 69,000 on Golf Channel for Patton Kizzire's win in the Procore Championship.

It’s always been a pretty quiet event in Napa. Less of a star turnout than previous years however. Procore came in last second to replace Fortinet - I’m sure it was at a significant discount.

Viewership down 75% yoy.

And LIV, had only 89,000 average viewers tuned into Sunday’s final round of their season championship down from 286,000 in 2023. I watched 20 min of the PGA, no LIV and 6 hours of NFL. But hey, we're all gonna get rich!!!

[TahoeJ]

Also worth adding that the Ladies’ Solheim Cup averaged 600 - 700k. That’s where all the viewers were.

Hmm....Nelly v. Charley huffing grits or a bunch of nobodies? Tough call!!

[TahoeJ]

Let me preface this by saying that I’ve met Hull and she’s really nice (and attractive). But I don’t get why everyone is so excited about her smoking - it’s cringey as hell, like a bunch of 12 year old boys who are all impressed by their friend’s older sister who has a pack of cigarettes. It’s gross.

This was funny however…

Watched a few holes of the PGA vs. LIV event last night. I'm sure it was fine and all, but the pace of play made Father's Day at 9am on the most crowded muni track look like warp speed in comparison. Couldn't watch any more standing around.

It was nice hearing David Feherty's voice on a golf broadcast again fwiw.
