That was not a choke by Tiger. That was a win by Koepka. He was just better.

Being there two days, it's obv how much he carries the sport. I love golf and watch it religiously but casual fans don't and his presence this week made the tourney. All the players know it. The game has always yielded to a new personality but it hasn't since he faded. DJ, Koepka, Rory, Spieth, Thomas - no personalities, no intrigue.
He was the energy of that entire place. I'd hear monster roars from across the course and every time, you could tell it was him if it was louder than shit. |

Dude has ice in his veins. Great competitor. I think he will end up being the next superstar of golf. And winning 2 big majors this year that only 5 have done in the history of golf is definitely a good start.

When he tapped in his final putt instead of marking...he seems to only care about winning and that's about it.

Was this seen as a negative or a positive for you?

I agree. Koepka is a very humble guy who does not want to get caught up in all the hoopla pomp and circumstance of golf you can tell. He is laser focused. Show up win, sign the card, collect the trophy and on to the next tournament. I love it !!

Of course he remembers and greatness recognizes greatness and wants so bad for Tiger to return to his dominating days and especially the sports media because well you know........

No, we didn't. Everyone knew and knows what the ratings were when he was/wasn't around. The only thing people debated was whether Tiger could catch Jack after his personal failures and numerous injuries derailed his career.

While he's great and all, and I think he's already a superstar for the wins, I think it will interesting to see how long he can keep it up. His body type (very muscular) means he can put a lot more strain on the joints and tendons, let's hope, for his own sake, that he keep it all under control and doesn't hurt himself. It's a long season, let's hope he plays within his body's limits.

Since I watch golf and you don't, I'll tell you every broadcast tries to pump up the "new generation" of golfers and golf channel does the same endlessly.
