**Official 2018 Players Championship Thread***

[cycloneG]

I think this tournament deserves its own thread. I enjoy watching it more than the PGA Championship.

Play has already begun, Rose is -3 thru 3 holes.

Some really good pairings today.
McIlroy, Spieth and Thomas this morning.
Woods, Mickelson and Fowler this afternoon.

The 17th hole is a great challenge and fun to watch, but I like all the Majors and big PGA events.
Here in Houston, we have a course called Tour 18 which reproduced eighteen of the most renowned holes on the PGA event; Amen Corner / Doral's 'Blue Monster' / and TPC's 17th Island Green; all with pretty much the same layout and yardage and hazzards of the real hole. Public course; pretty awesome experience

Year after year, the best test in golf. You have to do everything and anyone can win because distance isn't all that effective. Tiger is the only guy in the field to win it multiple times. It's just a great event. I'll take Rose, Tiger, and Rory this week. Its surprising Rose hasn't won one of these. I think these are the types of events Tiger will be able to win going forward and no one has a better score to par than Rory over the past 5 years.

Been at least 3 eagles on 12 already.

Set-up might be a tad easy.

Do they sell sleeves of balls at each hole? That sounds brutal.

A couple days ago, there was a story that Mickelson invited Tiger to a mano-a-mano showdown. Something like, "Forget this tournament, let's just you and me go at it."

That course sounds like it would offer both the coolest thing ever and a good chance to ruin my confidence in golf forever.

Good group on 17 right now. DJ, Bubba and Koepka.

You may have just added to my bucket list! That looks awesome!

Yikes, Spieth having a rough day.

Tiger said they could play for enough to make Phil "uncomfortable".

That'd be a lot.

 

[cycloneG]

First ball in the water on 17!

Hole #9 at Tour 18 = the 17th Hole at Sawgrass.
I play from the Blue Tees which is about 125 yds and I use a 9-iron; I think the pros today are playing 140 yards and they still use just a Wedge

 

[cycloneG]

DJ and Webb Simpson the early leaders in the clubhouse at -6.

Woods, Mickelson and Fowler group teeing off shortly.

 

[isutrevman]

Looks like a lot of birdie holes out there. For everyone other than Spieth anyway.

 

[3TrueFans]

Phil going with the button down today looking like he snuck out of the office early to get in a quick round before dinner.

I'd pay $1 if tournaments would kick out morons who scream after every shot.

Every time I tried to play there, we got rained out. I took it as a message.

As would I. If you come up with something good that's funny or at least topical, fine. Yelling stupid **** that doesn't mean anything is annoying for everyone else. I have zero problem with these guys getting the boot from time to time.
