🏌️ Tiger Woods underwent his seventh back surgery about a week ago, this time a disc replacement. Have his PGA Tour competitive days come to an end?
🏌️ However, Tiger turns 50 on December 30. It was once thought he’d never play the PGA Tour Champions. Is there a chance now?
🏌️ Gary Player told the Palm Beach (Fla.) Post that he thinks because of the fan behavior, “The Ryder Cup to me is the worst event in the world.” Is he right or is he just being Gary Player?
🏌️ Viktor Hovland, who sat out the singles session of the Ryder Cup due to a neck injury and still won a half-point, due to the longtime captain’s agreement, believes the rule doesn’t need to be changed. U.S. captain Keegan Bradley disagrees. Who’s right?
🏌️ American Michael Kim, who won the FedEx Open de France on the DP World Tour last month, arrived in Delhi for the DP World India Championship 14 hours before his Thursday starting time due to visa issues in Japan. Any chance of him making the cut?
🏌️ Rory McIlroy said at the India Championship that because of the narrowness of Delhi Golf Club, “I won’t hit driver again until Abu Dhabi.” Why is he even entered in India?
🏌️ Nelly Korda, Charley Hull and Lexi Thompson headline the Annika, the LPGA Tour’s pentultimate event of the year, in November. Will it be the best tournament in golf that week?
🏌️ The Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs have started on the Champions Tour. Did you notice?
🏌️ An early nomination for best golf commercial of the year: the “Aqua Cruiser Golf Green Deluxe,” with the Empower rep making an ace and saying, “It’s easiest if you do it in one.” And Webb Simpson’s deadpan, “Man, I want one.” Any other nominees?
