Also Nikes have shitty traction Speculation is he needs a custom orthotic and nikes are just too soft to accept it. Everything else is still nike. I highly doubt they were in the dark on this.
April 4, 20223 yr And to think I sold this years ticket for a year when I thought he would be there. Son of a bitch, should be walking Augusta tomorrow.

April 4, 20223 yr Masters on the range is live on CBS Sports Network right now. I think it goes until 1pm. Finau on the range at the moment.

April 4, 20223 yr I'm lucky enough to have been there for 2 practice rounds and it's funny to me to see all the people that stand and watch guys on the range for more than a couple of minutes. With all the things to see and enjoy on that property the practice area would be near the bottom of my list. Edited April 4, 20223 yr by 4th&Five

Practice area is by the entrance and our host drove me crazy hanging around it for a loooong time watching players chip. I finally said, "let's see this fucking course!" Walked most of the course, but didn't feel like we had enough time to really take it all in.

Tiger almost died in a car accident and had to reconstruct his leg. If he needs better shoes then Nike should make him better shoes. AFAIC he can wear and play with whatever he wants. He's played with different clubs and balls for years now.
April 4, 20223 yr Was checking out the tournament odds on the couple of online books i have access to. Tiger is 50-1 on one site, and 80-1 on the other. Plenty of guys with worse odds than Tiger which seems strange. It will be amusing if he does play, because the books know he will drive insane futures betting as everyone will throw a little something on Tiger for the fuck of it, so they have to keep adjusting as it happens. On my site that lists Tiger at 50-1, there are quite a few others with worse odds. I took a couple of small flyers so far: Kisner @ 115-1 (fuck it, two recent top 4's finishes), Rose @ 85-1 (Its a major, seems to play well at Augusta). I'll probably end up making obligatory bets on either Spieth @ 22-1 or Scheffler @ 16-1 (or both). Fleetwood at 80-1 intrigues me, but he doesn't really challenge at Augusta.

April 4, 20223 yr 2 hours ago, tx 3 putt said: Nike has likely paid 3 times his PGA career earnings, maybe 4 times. So he's internally indebted to them? I doubt Tiger needs the money anymore and if he does I bet footjoy would back the truck up for him. I don't think it's a "dick move" to wear a different pair of golf shoes. He doesn't even play on tour anymore.
April 5, 20223 yr I’ll be there Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Forecast sucks for tomorrow. I’ll take lots of pictures with my phone for you guys.
April 5, 20223 yr I just found out there’s no peach ice cream sandwiches this year due to supply chain issues….

The bookies learned their lesson in 2019, when the general feeling was Tiger wasn't sharp enough to win but tons of people want to bet on him. It isn't the odds that drive the casual fan to wanting a Tiger ticket

April 5, 20223 yr I personally love seeing Tiger rock the FJs. They look clean as fuck and are a way better golf shoe than Nike.

The current slate of Nike golf shoes absolutely sucks Yeah... that was kind of my point.... nothing nike makes gives him the stability that he needs. I guess they could do something with their Cole Haan line or something but if he really didn't know if he was going to play 2 week ago or even a month ago then why would they ramp something up? I'm sure we will have the tw 22 orthotic edition at some point. Or he can do like he did with Miura irons for years and just slap the swoosh on someone else's kicks 😅

Augusta is obviously different, but if I'm at a tour event the range is one of my favorite places to sit and watch. Watching them flight the ball and hit different shots is unreal. Augusta, though.... especially during the practice round... I'm probably out on the course.

I'm probably out on the course. my first tour event was the Houston open in the woodlands, week before the masters. I was on the practice tee rope, dead center behind seve ballesteros. You could each out and grab his club. His irons were as thin as a razor blade. He finished with the driver. Never broke the tee, the caddy grabbed his tee and they walked to #1.
April 5, 20223 yr He's totally playing. Probably Tiger, JT, Rory grouping. Get maximum value for this appearance.

April 5, 20223 yr For those of you equally obsessed, they are streaming Tiger's PC on the Masters website. Hasn't started yet, I assume waiting on Tiger to get there: https://www.masters.com/en_US/live/index.html?videoChannel=simul&promo=hero_live_Tiger'sPressConference If it doesn't load, login first.
