PGA Tour Madness

September 18th, 2009 Posted by: Senorita Queso Tronca

Ok, I am definitely hooked on golf. I admit it, and I never thought I would say those words. But this PGA season has been filled with so much drama and excitement, its great!

I can clearly remember as a young child, spending time with my grandmother and being puzzled by her watching golf on television. I was bored to tears. Now, that I am a bit older, I am beginning to understand her love of golf.

It’s a relaxing sport really, with just enough heart racing action and close calls to keep me from dozing off. There is no tackling, unnecessary roughness or spitting. It is sophisticated and the scenery of the golf courses is stunning. The perfectly manicured green grounds, flowers and trees swaying in the wind make the sport very easy to watch.

I have been keeping a close eye on the PGA Tour this year and plan on giving you my take on some of the best players in the league at the moment.

Let’s start with Tiger Woods. This guy has reinvented the sport and is an absolute icon in the golfing industry. The beginning of this season was a little rough for him. Many said this wouldn’t be a shining season from him. He began this tour, fresh out of physical therapy. Tiger was forced to undergo knee surgery last year. The beginning the 2009 season looked bleak, however Tiger surprised everyone and is rocking it!

To be honest, it’s almost a little sad to watch these tournaments at times. Tiger Woods just leaves everyone in the dust! I am a fan, but I can’t be the only one waiting for his arch-nemesis to pop up out of the bushes and score a perfect Eagle on every hole.

Next in line is Steve Stricker. Steve has been competing in the PGA since 1990 and has won 7 PGA Tours. In my opinion, Steve is Tiger’s biggest threat this season and is a solid player.

Another PGA player you should keep your eye on is Jim Furyk. He is dedicated to the sport and extremely focused. Don’t be surprised if you see an awkward swing or some strange behavior from this player. He has an interesting and unconventional style all his own.

The PGA playoffs will be exciting this year and I am curious to see which records Tiger will shatter this season, and what the end standings will look like.
