I have always respected Tiger, but was never a huge fan.
Tiger should have lifetime exemptions into all 4 majors for as long as he wants to play them.
I love the criticism of Tiger Woods getting a U.S. Open exemption. If you don’t want to see Tiger Woods play in the U.S. Open, you either dislike golf or you just dislike good things. Fuck off with that, you can have Talor Gooch.

A golf course is designed with a cadence. This golf course is designed to finish on 16-18, with maximum pucker factor on 17.
A shotgun start cheapens the architects vision of a course, and robs fans of the type of drama we saw today.
Is there a better case against a shotgun style championship format than what we just watched at The Players?
Leave the LIV vs PGA out of it, just the actual logic here.
In a shotgun, Scottie would have finished on hole 3 today!! 😢

The 13th hole in the Best 18 I've played is the very unique and somewhat controversial 13th at Tobacco Road.

I don’t understand the anger about the golf ball roll back. It will make no difference whatsoever to the average golfer and puts golf back on a path of sustainability. It will also help bring back certain skills in the pro game that have been eradicated over the past 2 decades.
