  • President's Cup Australia 2019 - Captain Tiger's 4 at-large picks?

I'm not familiar with the facts involving his estrangement from his mother and father, so I'll refrain from opining about things I don't know to be true.

That said, he comes across as a smug, entitled prick much of the time and perhaps more troubling is that his reputation doesn't seem to bother him. This is just another example of why he has earned that reputation, and why it's so easy for some to assume that he's the villain regarding the situation with his parents.

Integrity is a very hard quality to recover once it has been abandoned.

darpar Always wondered/doubted

I was in that camp as there's always lots of gossip and jealousy at college but I am now in the skeptical camp.

    Phil is becoming the new Greg Norman. Perhaps we'll see some chainsaw stunts where he severs half of his arm in future twitter posts, then two months later lands a world record great white shark from his modest 30 million dollar yacht in the pacific, and then gets an emergency beacon signal to return home to put out a blazing California wildfire single handedly.

    He has to cheer hard. He's Captain America.

    Looks like the US has their hands full today.

      Why is DeChambeau wearing that CS hat and not a ball cap like all of the rest?

        International team playing really solid. Good on them....looks like they are going to put up a good fight!

        Has anyone played this course? Looks amazing!

        Tiger's not getting much help today,,,,Woodland and Johnson are getting a whoopin.

          Johnson drove a par four and gagged on a 3' eagle putt to have the hole. Tiger was about the only one making putts. I guess Tiger will now get a beat down by Chamblee for his lack of skills as team Captain.

            Looks like Webb Simpson gets babysitting duties this week being paired with Reed.

            Not sure what to make of such a lopsided start. Not sure what to make of Tiger Woods contributing more as a player than he seems to be as a captain. If the US team loses, he's gonna be grilled for it regardless of how many points he earns for the cause. It always goes that way.

            But it does make for a more compelling event when the International team changes the usual script and doesn't wave the white flag while shitting the bed right out of the gate.

            Good lord they can’t even keep sand wedges from rolling off the green 😱

              or 2 1/2 - 3 footers to keep from lipping out.

              Spoiler alert: if you have heart or anger issues, do not watch.

                This reminds me of the Ryder Cup where the other team just putts lights out. When did Oosthuizen become a great putter?
