Apparently when Lucas Glover doesn't play well, his wife gets drunk and calls him a loser and after Sunday's round the cops got involved. yikes.

Tiger tied for the lead at the Memorial

And like that is 5 shots back.

He's lost at least 4 or 5 shots to an average putter. Probably close to last in Strokes Gained putting this week.

He tees off at 9:10 this morning. Leaders at 9:30. I believe it's on golf channel.

It's only online now. Stupid. I'm not sure if pga tour live is free for this but they're showing it.

Woods misses a 1-foot par putt that probably puts the nail in his coffin...I doubt if he can rally back now.

If Tiger has an average putting week he's probably in the lead.

Picking him for the Open Championship right now. 2 irons for days.

He's not making up seven strokes putting average.

It was 6 then, before he went OB with that tee shot. He's -6.48 strokes gained putting this week. So yeah, pretty damn close. He has to be leading or close to approach, and even with the two OB balls this week he's probably top 25 off the tee.

Or better:

Tiger Woods' field ranks this week:

SG Tee To Green: 1st
SG Approach Green: 1st
Proximity to hole: 1st
SG Putting: 2nd-to-last

I wonder if this is his worst putting week ever...at least in the strokes gained era.

This may be a dumb question, but what is the actual average strokes gained putting on the course this week?

So I don't think that SG:Putting compared to average is for that particular tournament but compared to PGA Tour averages at large. At it's most basic, an 8 footer is a 50% putt on the PGA Tour. Make it, you gain half a stroke, miss it, you lose half a stroke. It does take into account whether it's uphill or downhill and other things but that's the gist of it. So when Tiger is -7 strokes this week it's not to the average player this week, because that's not enough data, but to an average PGA Tour putter. It's possible the average in a given week week is negative, if it's a particularly difficult putting course. But in general you're going to be pretty close to zero.

For more context, this is his worst strokes gained putting performance ever recorded. And more traditionally he's missed 7 putts inside 5 feet this week...his most ever. He missed 9 once.......combined in the year 2006.

let's have a bsg golf outing

Yeah I guess what I am saying is if you are comparing ever player to an average PGA tour putter, you could then take all of those numbers and find the average for the week. Just trying to figure out if others are struggling as well and how hard the course is playing. Would be interested to see if say the average this week is -3 or something like that versus a 0.

I'm not sure...I don't know if I've ever seen that stat for a tournament at large.

He isn't that far off.

Well yeah, it was just 1.5 clubs this week. His driver wasn't great but it doesn't have to be for him to win. Putter can't be historically awful though.

This women's US Open is something. Ariya Jutanugarn was up 7 strokes with 9 to play and is now struggling in a playoff.

dechambeu's "hat" really dumb, if he didnt look like a 1920s paperboy id prob root for him

my draftkings lineup is rahm, rose, fleetwood, dechambeau, schniederjans and uihlein. go those guys.

I have wagered $2 on Phil, Kuchar and Adam Scott to win, the latter two because they are in that 60ish-1 range that would be fun to root for and Phil cause Phil.
