THE Official 2024 PGA Tour Season Thread

Times like that, you start to think there really is a god and he hates you.

Suck it Wyndham.

imagine having the same name as a familiar hotel chain
and still pretending to charge hard core for the mini-bar
last time i checked the clark bar market it was down over a million and nobody was predicted win them

Aberg up to #6 DG

Theegala #13

incredible

Very curious to see what comes out of the talks in the Bahamas. If anyone can put together golf's version of the Molotov-Ribbontrop pact it's Jay Monahan.

this is an extremely successful non-aggressive post

My sense is PGAT was bargaining while asserting their strong position. They certainly want $, but it won't be easy.

odds to win the Valspar after the cut

Spoiler

Show

Those odds did not age well for JT.

on friday JT was pulling everything left off the tee into trash locations and somehow found a way to score with his scrambling. it was unsustainable.

they just mentioned how many double eagles have been scored on Tour since '83 (there was another one today). i couldn't belive the total number.

anyone who didn't see the answer care to hazard a guess?

Basketball sucks but the end of this has been good. Go Malnati

Malnati balled on the Snake Pit. GG.

my initial guess is less than thirty
but the inertia to make you posit the question makes me wonder
classic case of choose your own adventure

i'll post the answer tmr... give more ppl a chance to guess

with no research now pushing results down to less than twenty

I'll go with 3.

I'm gonna go with 7.

I'm pretty sure Harry Higgs made one like 2 or 3 years ago.

There have been 4 in the history of the Masters.

Interesting to me: It's one on each of the par 5's.

Sarazen on 15, Bruce Devlin on 8, Jeff Maggert on 13, and Oosthuizen on 2

I remember louis oost's at the masters. I think its about a 40% chance for a hole in one in a tournament. Most players would get I suppose about 2 double eagle opportunities in a round and generally a much harder shot that a par 3, and also they mostly wouldn't be going at the pin. So I'd cut it down to one a round, so that is a 10% chance in a tournament and reduce to 2.5% for the considerable extra difficulty. 40 tournaments a year for 40 years, 1600 x .025 = 40.

This is very interesting. And yes, Oosthuizen's is the one I remember.

counting the double-eagle from this past weekend, there have been 139 double-eagles on Tour since 1983

the one scored this weekend was the third of the current season

I witnessed Freddy Couples make one in the 1993 World Cup of Golf at Lake Nona.

Also made one myself about 10 years ago, although it was a short par 5 and I used a 7 iron.

Pulling for a Scottie W this week. Would be electric.
