    PGA Tour in jeopardy now.
    Americans can't win shit anymore. All majors won so far are foreign players. The US lost the Ryder cup. It appears it will be like Tennis, worldwide success but American's just don't give a fukk.

        It's like soccer. American's have to hope for their end all be all to get into those sports. That one crazy good player, like Tiger was to golf. If it isn't NFL, MLB, NHL, or NBA, American's could pretty much give a fuk what happens in sports outside their own. It's somewhat of a lame attitude, but that's how it goes I guess. That's why foreigners could give a shit about our sports too unless they live here. I really wish some kind of American equivalent to Pele could step out of the shadows and just dominate European Futbol. It's a great sport no matter what most Americans say (generally those who aren't good at it).

            The American public attitude toward soccer is always way off. Yes, the USA natl team wins some games on occasion. But when we do, the response is..."We should win the World Cup." The path is not that ez. It's a cultural thing, w/ layers upon layers of youth programs. I swear a lot of the incorrect viewpoint is just that lazy Americans think they can just flip a switch and get what they want.

                      He's super close! Swing looks totally different than a few months ago. Not nearly as labored.

                        you seem cornfused.

                        D. Johnson, Nick Watney, Bubba Watson, Hunter Mahan, are all ranked in the top 20 in the world, and are all quite young. Then you have others like Fowler, Anthony Kim, Bill Haas, Overton, Holmes, all are young and competitive.

                              ty. the thread title alone is absurd. I imagine the ratings for yesterday will be outstanding. The PGA tour is incredibly healthy. It will be fantastic watching Tiger and Phil compete with these young guns, international or domestic, for the next few years.

                                Good list. Personally, I think Fowler is playing better than his ranking. Add Tiger, Phil, and Furyk and you have a group of Americans that have already won many majors and will win many more.

                                    Golf is boring as hell to watch, be it Africans, Americans or Cosmonauts winning. I'll take soccer or tennis any day.

                                      You just named several golfers who have already peaked and really won't do much in their careers. I doubt many majors will be won by the group you just named.

                                      ALL of the future superstars of golf are not American.

                                          Already peaked? You should probably back away from the computer. You seem a bit ignorant/clueless on this topic.

                                            Talk to me in five years when Bill Haas and Nick Watney are winning majors.

                                              You're not understanding the point. They aren't winning anything but staying in the cash hunt. In order fro Americans to give a fukk Tiger needs to win. Period.

                                                OMG! You know so much about golf!

                                                How'd your Tiger-to-win bet turn out? Never did make it back to the shit talking thread, did you?

                                                Once again, "almost there" in golf means nothing.

                                                Tiger is there.

                                                Those shots he was hitting to give himself eagle chances were 100% of what he is capable of doing.

                                                He was in the zone - putts didn't fall. There was a time his putts always fell.

                                                The experience is there. The raw talent. When he needs it, the confidence.

                                                Something is keeping him mortal. Hmm...

                                                  american golfers need to get their passports out and start travelling the world to play different styles of courses.
