    So Tiger has just confirmed he will be playing. I'd imagine a player who gave a sh*t about other players would have gave Mr Huh a call a few days ago to inform him that they would most likely be playing..... I doubt he got that call from Tiger.

    Well then he deserves an Oscar. He could barely get into his car. A long lens camera captured him struggling to walk up the steps on his jet shortly after. Supposed he was continuing on the show for the pilots.

    He wasn't faking an injury... but I guess we shall have to disagree on that.

    You seem quite sure of this. Any chance of Friday's EuroMillion numbers?? I'm smashed...

    What difference would that make Snow? Huh is first alternative regardless not just to Tiger so would be hanging close by regardless I assume.

    Because Tiger got an extension on the deadline so basically he had until his tee time to make up his mind. Just thought it might be a little unfair for Huh not knowing until the last minute.

    Yeah an injury extension that can be applied by any injured player not just Tiger as seems to be widely reported.

    I was just wondering isnt Huh still on standbye in case anyone pulled out today or would they now go with 155 if someone bailed now?

    Im sure Huh is professional enough to accept Tiger making a late call. Might not be so pleased of course if he seems him pulling up after a few holes tomorrow.

    Hope Tiger isnt too near Padraig on the range tomorrow, might be the odd grimace when he's doin the happy Gilmore!!!

    Hopefully it will be another shootout between Rory and Sergio. It's time for Sergio to get a major

    Huh gives a rat's ass about an unknown alternate....

    TIGER'S PLAYIN'

    Best news of the week. Makes it worthwhile tuning in tomorrow.

    Biggest draw ever in golf.
    The man who spread the word around the world.
    Made golf cool.
    Had kids Just Doin It.
    Brought so much money into the tour funds the rest of the pros should be kissing the fairway he walks on.
    A coloured man rulz the country club.
    Broke so many records its probably a record itself (yes, I know there's one still missing. For the moment...).
    Hell, courses had to be TIGERPROOFED. I dont think Nicklausproofed is even a word!!!!
    The Tiger Slam - that's FOUR majors in a row !!!!
    He won a US open by 15 (yes FIFTEEN, shots) !!!!
    That's three capitalised exclamation mark facts in a row !!!!
    He slowed down time on the 16th at the Masters so that Nike could get extra publicity from a championship winning super shot - not even Einstein could do that. The boffins at Cern cant even figure out how he did it.
    He won the US Open with a broken leg.
    Tiger will jump Snead for the highest number of PGA victories ever.


    Golf just wont know what's hit it when he is gone.

    Be glad he is there. Watch him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,560 ✭✭✭Deeper Blue


    I reckon Tiger could regret playing in this, particularly if he's constantly hitting out of heavy rough.

    I've seen quotes from Graham Delaet saying it took him a full year to fully recover from the same injury as Tiger, so maybe he'd be better off resting up until the end of the year.

    I wouldn't question Tiger faking his injuries at all.
    What I would question is his recovery time... Remarkable.

    Can't wait for this. Hopefully it's no procession.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,133 ✭✭✭✭FixdePitchmark


    A bit daft .

    So he just pulled out of last event.

    If not . He will wd from this injured.

    Unless he thinks pain cures past ills. Strange carry on.

    Irish Journalist asks Sergio if he doesn't want any Irish guys in contention with him on the final day....

    He's fine. Wasnt the operated injury. Just another bone in his back. Which his physio popped back in. As you do. Raring to go. Expecting to win.

    Was honestly thinking it could be another point.
    But all these subsequent injuries tend to be compensation for original.


    But any back injury. Hard to believe he is fit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,684 ✭✭✭con___manx1


    I expect Sergio to be up there. He is putting well finally. Always a player who just falls short . It would be great if he could finally do it.

    Red button coverage of the Harrington/woods group at 1.30 tomorrow.

    I think red button coverage should ensure that you see most of Harringtons shots.... Bloody regretting switching to UPC

    Actually you are right - red button stuff doesn't allow constantly switching to other stuff when an un-favoured player takes a shot.

    Shot tracker for a Major, about time. Can't wait for this to get going.

    Just spotted this for the first time and it's an absolutely brilliant idea.

    The pga.com leaderboard has a shottracker too http://www.pga.com/pgachampionship/scoring/leaderboard The regular pgatour one seems to be a good bit behind.

    Had a run through the course on the shottracker there, it looks like an absolute beast. Any ideas what the predicted winning score is?
