Louie Oosthuizen definitely (won a major, he has a very long list of runner up for the Majors, fan favourite), Lee Westwood, Richard Bland (underdog favourite), Bryson is he acts like he used to before being bulked up Jock, i.e. the Professor and only hits driver when it is smart to do so, needs to be little wind for him to win), Brooks could do well if his head is in it and he is healthy, Dustin could do well, perhaps Sergio if he can keep his cool and Phil if he is not pestered by the media and fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually he does not play smart anymore just a bomber, no longer the Professor, actually he really only won a major other events not much difference, actually worse especially for bad scores whihc he gets a lot now, likely worse as he used to at least contend when he was more agile. He no longer thinks he just grips it and rips it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He no longer thinks he just grips it and rips it. With the publishing of strokes gained numbers and analyzing more shot analytics, it shows that the farther you can hit the ball the lower scores will generally be. Yesterday, Rory was asked about a drive he hit over the trees and his response was analytics show that you should hit driver there. The game of golf is changing and bombing the ball is generally the optimal strategy. There really is little reason to “think” while on the course as strategies are already calculated and formulas are followed. 4 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: mFGP2 Backups: TM-180, Milled Collection RSX 2, Bellum Winmore 787, Directed Force 2.1 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He realized that which is why he bulked you to increase speed and distance. It’s why he won the number of tournaments he did after bulking up compared to what you consider smart golf which is hit less club off the tee and whatever outdated philosophies you possibly believe in. These guys use data to make decisions and his success with going for distance proved to be the smart play and not what you think is smart. 1 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't gain distance after starting weight training. 1 hour ago, cnosil said: There really is little reason to “think” while on the course as strategies are already calculated and formulas are followed.

Yes look at his avg distance before he started weight training and the 5-7 years after. No difference. Let's not get off topic with this silliness again please. This topic is about LIV. Good lord you have no clue what are talking about. He went on his mass gain 3 seasons ago. His numbers are all over the internet for anyone to see. He gained speed and distance when he decided to add size. Whether you like it or not that’s fact. As a result the first year of that he gained 17 yards in avg distance and the year after he gained another yard+ Not to mention nearly every player on the pga tour commented about his distance and some like rory even tried to chase it.

So yeah when you are wrong again you want to move on Are you talking about Rory or Bryson? As to Bryson, he bulked up AND made substantial swing changes at the same time. It was the swing changes that led to the distance gains. He even later admitted that he continued to weight train and bulk and he got no more distance. All the credible evidence shows that equipment advances, and not weight training, is what has resulted in distance gains on the Tour. Period. Now please respect the topic and bring this discussion to a different forum topic if you want to continue.
