Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 3252443, member: 1969"] Tiger starts next week at Torrey Pines, then in three weeks after that at Riviera. Some interesting story lines this year for some of the games biggest players. Phil - Will he bounce back a bit, or is he headed to the Champions Tour sooner rather than later? He has fell all the way to world #79, He actually started 2019 well but since his 18th place finish at the Masters, his best finish is 28th, and in a full field event he has not finished higher than 48th. That is not good. The good is he is probably the best 50 year old golfer the tour has seen in a long time. Jordan Speith - He has fell all the way to #43. He has had a few OK performances since the last major, but still nothing better than 6th, and two top 10 performances in 8 tournaments? Will he become an elite top 5 player in the world who is a force in majors ever> It will be tough because there are many players that have more talent, and his grinding which may have been the best in the world was based on a likely unsustainable level of success on mid to longer putts. He will recover, but I think his career may have peaked, and he may not reach that elite peak level again. Tiger Woods - One of the interesting things to track for him this year will be the 2020 Olympics -- to qualify he will need to be a top 4 US player in the world golf rankings in six months time. Currently he is #5 in the US. It will be tough. He doesn't play many tournaments which could hurt him. Tiger actually struggled last year after the Masters, had an injury tweak, and now is body seems fine (for now). He did however win in November, finished 4th in a strong 18 man field, and was one of the players at the Presidents Cup. Will be interesting to see if he can sustain this recent level so that he is a real threat at the majors... or not. Finally Brooks Koepka - His success at the majors the last 3 years is truly amazing, Since Jack, the only other player that had a similar run over 10 majors of wins / top 3 finishes was Tiger Woods around 2000/2001. Can't wait for the Masters and the other majors. [/QUOTE]
