I often wonder how a guy like Tim Herron has played all these years, walking up and down those hills and hasn't lost a lot of weight. He hasn't won a whole lot, but he's made a living on The PGA Tour which can't be said about a whole lot of people in history. I worked on the practice tee at the Boston tournament a few years back and as I was walking back to my car, I saw Time Herron going into the fitness trailer. He may be a big guy but he keeps himself in pretty good shape for the shape that he is.

And if you don't think that golf is physically taxing, go to an event and follow a group for eighteen holes. You might be surprised at how taxing the walk is. Then consider that these guys are up hours before their tee time stretching. Then they hit balls, chip and putt for about an hour or more before their round. Then after the round, they might hit 500-1,000 balls before they go for their workout.

Even though a few (and it really is only a very few) players, like Herron, Beef, Jason Dufner look like they are not ripped athletes, they are in good shape. They have strength and tremendous flexibility. The rest of them are ripped athletes. You cannot play golf at that level if you are a fat, out of shape slob.

I resemble that remark

Rory and DJ exited early so a lot of viewers were lost because of that.

But this is exactly why the networks treat Tiger like they do. If Tiger had been playing and especially if he reached the finals, viewership would have doubled.

A Rory Tiger final might have broken all records.

I never heard of Bubba attracting anyone. I watched and enjoyed that no one was gushing over tiger

The announcers on yesterdays PGA tournament must be paid by Woods.
The would too frequently comment about a given hole and how "Tiger" played it in 2006!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
