OT - PGA News and Notes

Ratings note - Tiger drew more viewers for the Valspar than every major not called THe Masters in 2016 and 2017.

Can’t wait for this year’s Masters.

Tiger in contention ( 1 shot out of the lead ) and then he starts leaking oil. That's a shame.

It's good to see parts of the old Tiger back. I think by the summer he's going to start winning tournaments again. A good Tiger Woods is good for golf.

Another game for Adam!

Hadwin (38) knocks off Dustin Johnson (1) in matchplay, 4 and 3

I have no doubt this was meant with the utmost sincerity. I'm glad to see that @dash has finally turned the corner on Tiger.

Yup, I've made four left turns on Tiger.

What a great kickoff to Masters' weekend today. Tom Watson became the oldest man (68) to win the Par 3 tournament. And grandpa Jack gave the club to 15-year old grandson G.T. and he made the most of the opportunity...

I don't see the Twitter post, but I assume you're talking about Tony Finau. X-rays were negative and his agent has said he will be playing. I would imagine it would impact performance though - it's gotta be tender/swoll.

The whole thing was bizarre. I've seen people pop shoulders back in place, but not an ankle. He did it like it's happened before.

Azaleas, dogwoods, and ankles - A tradition unlike any other.

Tiger's drive on 11 is headed for Savannah.

Is that unusual? (Aside from his scoring avg being so low on 5s.). Justin Rose has the best scoring average in par 4s the last 5 yeas... at 4.05.

Brutal course. Would pay so much $$ to play it even once. What would you guys pay if you could play it one time? I think I top at out $4k.

Hadwin hanging in at E through 8.

Leishman the lone -3 or better so far.

I would probably tap out at $1K, but it would be a heck of a day.

Oh for sure it would be - Looking forward to a couple of balls finding Rae's Creek on Sunday afternoon followed with a few f-bombs from Eldrick.

Why wait until Sunday, eh Tiger? Wet off the tee on 12.

To be fair, that was a heck of a putt for bogey.

Hadwin -2 through 11

Sergio will have to re-grip his ball retriever after today's round...

Adam Hadwin tied for the lead at -4 through 16

Hadwin bogeys 18 to finish at -3 - That's still a darn fine start.
