I’m not a “Twitter” fan. I think there’s a reason the first four letters are “twit.” But here’s a “tweet” from Stewart Cink on this week’s TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP:
It’s rained so much around ATL that many school systems are delayed or cancelled today. And East Lake closed all day — range and course.
I’ve been critical for the first two years of the PGA Tour “playoff” system, and for good reason. It was a bogey. Big name players like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were skipping playoff rounds. Last year Padraig Harrington won two majors but didn’t qualify? That is actually a double bogey.
Has the tweaking of the playoff system finally worked?
Perhaps the tweaking and refining the FedEx Cup system has finally paid off. During this weekend’s 2nd round of the playoffs, I watched every minute of all four days of television coverage. I usually only do that during major championships. Not only that, I was excited. I was rooting for players like Steve Stricker and Paddy and Sean O’Hair.
Or…. Have players like Steve Stricker made it more exciting?
Maybe the system’s tweaks aren’t why I’m interested more this year. Maybe the playoff is more exciting because of the players themselves? The playoff isn’t a runaway for Tiger Woods now that Steve Stricker has taken the lead and Tiger has moved to 2nd place. Now there’s some real pressure and excitement.
Whatever the reason, I hope playoffs in the years to come can be as exciting as this year’s.
I’m an iPhone user. I got the thing so I could be more productive. I have the tools to do that now and I’m slowly but surely working toward utilizing my time better. I have many golf apps for the iPhone, some of which I’ve covered or will cover here. The newest iPhone golf application is the PGATOUR.com app.
I loaded the PGA Tour iPhone application tonight. For being released within the last day or so, the app is very robust and nicely done.
Within the app you can access leaderboards, player profiles, videos (though I had a window pop up saying the video format wasn’t supported) and lots of other neat PGA Tour nuggets. It is nice to be able to check Tiger Woods’ putting stats while in line at the grocery store.
Oh, the app is sponsored by Nike Golf, who has ads all over in there. I guess you have to pay the bills somehow.
For just being released the PGA Tour app is pretty awesome.
