Tiger Woods has taken great pride in his consistency over the years, but now as his career winds down some stats seem to be suffering. Does Tiger need to pay more attention? Does he even care? How far can he slide before he worries about tarnishing his stellar accomplishments? Joe Montana, Brett Farve, Kobe Bryant come to mind.

David Leadbetter has some pretty harsh words for Lydia Ko and her parents. Which seems really ironic, since most of his players probably should have harsh words for him, and his ridiculous way of teaching the golf swing.

The USGA will now allow amateur champions to declare themselves pro and still, take advantage of the spot earned in the US Open.  This change will make it possible for every US Amateur Champion to rightfully take their coveted place with the reigning US Open Champion and British Open Champion in the opening rounds of the US Open. But what will the PGA Tour do? Let's tee it up! #golf #pgatour #golfers #lovegolf #golfday #whyilovethisgame #golflessons #golflife #anythinggolf...

Four rounds in the 60s and no bogeys! 100% successful in scrambling. Truly an amazing performance by J.T. and the data shows it. Also, I little update on how the playoffs will be different this year.

We all want more power, but how to generate it gets to be a little confusing. Some say we work on our quick twitch muscles, lift weights, run in army boots on a beach, there are many theories. But what works for one of us, might not work for another. Fred Shoemaker joins the program to discuss how we can tap into our natural abilities to find more power, and I can testify it really works!

Great start at the Wyndham! And I am sure many of those out there who are struggling to keep their card, or get into the playoffs, wishes they could bottle up some of Brooks Koepka's winning ways. Brooks has come about his winning in a unique way.

You have probably heard some say setting-up takes zero athletic ability to do properly. And that is true, if you don't consider golf to be an athletic activity. Getting setup properly and athletically can't be overlooked when you want to play your best.

Brooks Koepka made it look really easy, far easier than many of us thought he would. Rory didn't put up much of a fight. And Brooks putted well all week, which doesn't happen much. Collin Morikawa not only won the Barracuda, but he won his PGA Tour card and is in the top 50 of the FedEx Cup standings with all his fine play. The data is pretty cool this week.

Each year as the PGA Tour winds down so many discuss the pressure the "on the bubble" tour players feel. And we are hearing more about it as the Barracuda Championship continues this weekend. At times some seem to infer that we amateurs have no idea how these tour pros feel. Does that bother anyone else?

So much is going on as we wind up this end of the PGA Tour regular season. We have the WGC St. Jude this weekend, we are still basking in the very cool British Open, and we have this thing called the Wyndham Rewards regular season $10 million bonus to worry about. Has it had an effect? Also, we should all still be amazed at all the wisdom Fred Shoemaker shared with us on yesterday's podcast. That is the best thing in golf podcasting maybe ever. It was fantastic. Definitely check it out. Let's...

Fred Shoemaker has been revolutionizing golf instructions for 44 years now. He has written two seminal books on golf (Extraordinary Golf and Extraordinary Putting) and has run a Top 25 Golf School program for those years. I met Fred & Jo Shoemaker and the rest of Extraordinary Golf some 13 years ago, and my golf life and life in general, has never been the same. The following episode may be the best golf podcast episode ever, and it has nothing to do with me. The wisdom and knowledge Fred...

Shane Lowry in predictable fashion wins the British Open, after mission the last four cuts of this fabled major. And he did it in style, as an Irishman, former Irish Open champion, and with a course record on Saturday to permanently put it out of reach. No one made up any ground, and Shane finished with a six-stroke win. Let's check out the data that got this historic win done.

What Shane Lowry did today was beyond unexpected, it was historic. And based on the historical data, he has pretty much won the himself the Claret Jug. But what Shane Lowry has had to overcome to get where he is today is amazing, and I did not know it.

Royal Portrush is a gem, amazing! Some big names didn't make the cut, some did. This is going to be a great weekend.

Day 1 is in the books and let's just say the country of Ireland is a little shocked tonight. Ugh. This was such a big day for them and their golfing heroes. There was much about the day that was incredible, the Royal Portrush Golf Club is gorgeous. The course sort of stole the show, which was good, because many of the big guns struggled.

Wow!!  We crunched the numbers, weighted the data based on the information out of Royal Port Rush, recent trends, history, and have come up with a lock for the winner of the 2019 British Open. I'm thinking about taking a quick trip to Vegas! Trying to come up with the right formula to predict an unpredictable game, especially one being played at a new venue for most the players, and a links course is impossible, but we did our best! And we learned some very cool stuff along the way. Let's tee...

Well, its the final major, it's Brooks Koepka, and it's a bit of controversy. Brooks Koepka has been coming out of his shell and sharing more and more about himself. With each major he seems to be more comfortable with who he is, and could care less and less what anyone else thinks about it. IT IS AWESOME! Brooks had more to say in his press conference, and I couldn't stop laughing. Are there some things the USGA could learn from the R&A... Don't get me started, but there is one major...

Dylan Frittelli gets a big win at the John Deere Classic and wins the opportunity to fly back over and plan again across the pond at the British Open. We don't know much about Dylan, but we will. He is an overnight success, that took decades in the making. A great story and a great win. Welcome to Data Monday, where we crunch the numbers and see how they compare to our performance benchmarks!

The year is closing quickly, way quickly if you ask me. We have only have two full-field PGA Tour events, a major, The British Open, and a World Golf Championship and that is it for the 2018-2019 regular season. That is so hard to believe. And with the changes to the tour schedule, there are many players, who we know and love, who are going to be on the outside looking in, if they don't have a perfect couple of weeks. And the new faces from the KF Tour are a bunch of fresh new faces. The PGA...

That was one of the best finishes of the year. What a big win for Matthew Wolff, only playing in his 3rd PGA Tour event as a pro. Incredible. On this data Monday we will take a look at Matthew's stats and see where he got it done this week. Also, should amateurs swing like Matt? Is his unorthodox swing motion one we should try?

Bryson DeChambeau is playing well again, and he tried to withhold what part of his game he's working on, but does he not realize he is on TV? Pretty easy to pick out what is different in his swing.  Matt Wolf seems to be playing "well" or is he, and can he depend on that unique swing of his? Hideki has supposedly fixed his putting woes with a narrower stance?!? Is that seriously all it takes? And did Brooks Koepka tell us just recently he doesn't like to complain?!? Oh boy! Lots to discuss....

In the golf world, we have been talking about Michelle Wie since she was ten years old. She was going to be the female Tiger Woods and dominate the game for years to come. At 13 she could hit her driver 320 yards, no one had a chance, the LPGA was going to be her playground, and she was going to be the bully on the block for decades. Well, that didn't happen. Her career has not been what the experts thought it would be, but how does it measure up in her mind? Are there some hints and insights...

What a fantastic weekend of golf. The word that keeps coming to mind is "satisfying."  Nate Lashley got it done, and it is one of the most amazing stories in golf this year, if not the best. It might even be better than Tiger Wood's win at the Masters. Seriously, it is that good. Steve Stricker also one the US Senior Open in dominating fashion, so very cool, for one of the best guys on tour.
