I think Phil has a better chance of winning a major than Tiger. I don’t think Tiger wins another, and I believe Koepka gets close to Tiger’s major total.


Tiger will have a chance to win at the British and Masters for 8 more years if his back is healthy.

Koepka is looking more and more like he needs to tell everyone else how great he is and stay in drama trying to make others think he’s good. I don’t think he actually believes it and a sports psycho is telling him he needs to. He should have won the Masters before getting sideways on 12 and US Open last year. Now he’s getting smoked today by a lot of players after basically saying none of them belonged yesterday. He’s WAY MORE LIKELY to be a McIlroy or Spieth type winning a few, everyone thinking he is the next Tiger, before reversing to the mean than winning 15 like Tiger.

Watching him today, still believe that he needs to make a putter style change.

He doesn't have the steady nerves for a 8802 style any more.

DJ, Rahm and others are killing it with the mallets.

In the top 10 putters on Tour, more guys use mallets than blades.

Even the announcers say he needs to make a change.

He's used a mallet but in a very similar style way more often than the 8802 style blade over the last 14 years. When he struggles with the mallet he'll go back to the blade for awhile. It has only made it worse this go around.

Truth is for the majority of his career he's been a shitty putter. It's cost him countless majors.

Somehow he had a stretch in his 40s from about 2012-2018 where he was one of the best putters on tour

He's finally regressed back to the first 20+ years of his career

Today specifically is the worst single strokes gained putting round I've ever seen a tour pro have. He lost over 5 shots to tour average.

He turned a 73 that puts around the cutline into a 79 that puts him 1 out of DFL
