The 2007 PGA tour thread

[Bogey]

Since there's so little PGA talk on this board, I figured we could have one thread for PGA Tour info for 2007.

The FedEx Cup is new to the PGA this year. I have yet to read about and understand the details about the FedEx Cup, but there is info in the link.

Here is the schedule for January per the PGA Tour website.

Tiger and his wife are expecting a child. Wonder what that will do to Tiger's focus this year?

His dad died, he took some time off, stumbled on his return in his first tournament, then kicked everyone's ass the rest of the year.

I don't think having a kid will affect him too much.

BTW, he won't be playing in the MBC.

Here's the field for the MBC:

Stephen Ames......J.J. Henry.........Corey Pavin
Stuart Appleby....Tim Herron.........Carl Pettersson
Eric Axley........J.B. Holmes........John Rollins
Aaron Baddeley....Trevor Immelman....Rory Sabbatini
Chad Campbell.....Davis Love III.....Adam Scott

Ben Curtis........Troy Matteson......David Toms
Luke Donald.......Arron Oberholser...D.J. Trahan
Joe Durant........Geoff Ogilvy.......Kirk Triplett
Jim Furyk.........Rod Pampling.......Brett Wetterich
.....................................Dean Wilson

Looks like no 4th consecutive win for Appleby and Singh will try to hang on to make up for his playoff loss last year.

Woods wins his (personal record) seventh in a row at the Buick Invitational.

A few rookies were gunning for first but fell apart down the stretch.

Look out, Byron Nelson!

[Bogey]

Nissan open at Riviera Country Club started up today.

Anyone going?

I have to go check out the pros.
Never seen em play in person.

[Bogey]

Eight of the top ten in the world are at the Nissan Open.

Woods isn't there.
Don't know why.

[Mr. Teeny]

I think it's just travel and other obligations. With the new FedEx Cup points and stuff, they're weighted more for the WGC events and the Majors and the tournaments down the stretch. I think he's going to have a very different schedule this year than most, and Riviera is sort of the odd one out right now. He wants to make SURE he's ready for next week and didn't want to push himself by coming back from Dubai and rushing things.

Was at Pebble on Sunday rooting on my buddy, who finished 3rd. It was a great day.

Good to see Phil (win last week, 2nd after Thursday at Nissan) looks like he's playing well...hopefully he can sustain this up to the Masters.

[Mr. Teeny]

Ernie loses in the first round of the Match Play... I sure didn't see that coming.

[Mr. Teeny]

Hogan Bracket:
I had DiMarco and Immelman advancing, but I thought Ernie would play Bart Bryant in the next round... guess those were both wrong.

Snead Bracket:
I've called it so far... Olazabal, Ogilvy, Fasth, Goosen advance.

Player Bracket:
Called Cink, Harrington, and Vijay, but I thought Karlsson would beat Ames. Turns out Ames annihilated him instead...

Jones Bracket:
Called Donald and Stenson, but I thought Pettersson would beat K.J. Choi. Wrong on that one. Looks like Baddeley will win like I thought. He's been playing well lately.

[Mr. Teeny]

Well, I got destroyed today with my picks. I didn't predict a single match correctly in the Player bracket.

Tomorrow, Chad Campbell plays David Toms and Stephen Ames plays Stewart Cink. I thought Harrington would advance all the way to the finals, but he didn't play very well today. Micheel advanced again, and Fasth played great and beat Goosen. They'll play the only two people I picked correctly on that side of the bracket, Paul Casey and Geoff Ogilvy.

On the other side, my picks were a bit better. Tiger's going to play O'Hern (and destroy him) tomorrow. Baddeley will play Stenson in the only match I had both contestants picked for. Justin Rose upset Phil today and will play Chuck Howell, who walked over Sergio (I thought he'd walk over Clarke). Mr. funny-pants Poulter advanced to play Immelman, who I thought would beat DiMarco.

Saturday Tiger could have some trouble with Stenson or Baddeley, but I still think he'll advance and probably have to play Chuck in the semis. I think Ogilvy will come out of the other side, but that's a kind of strange, wide open bracket right now with Furyk, Love, Vijay, Harrington, Scott, Goosen all out of the picture.
