Scott Scheffler is on some kind of roll to start the season.

He's looking to lap the field at the Masters.

Am I the only person in the world who still hates Tiger Woods for what he did to his wife and family (not to mention driving 90 mph in a residential area, losing control and crossing two oncoming lanes that could have injured or killed other drivers)? 

The gushing over this arrogant jerk ever since his reckless driving incident has been sickening.

No, not at all.

Not at all as far as Woods is concerned. I'd say the majority of the golf fans I know have been done with him at least since the accident (willing to offer a second chance but not a third). I had to roll my eyes at the talking heads wondering if he could win. What happened was always going to be a best-case scenario. There was no way he was making it through four championship-caliber rounds in four days with how he looks physically. The weekend collapse was inevitable.

If Scheffler doesn't collapse this is an amazing run he is putting together. And it was nice to see McIlroy put together his charge even if it was likely too little, too late.

I was waiting for him to walk up to the 1st tee and slap somebody.

I would cheer for the guy if he had shown signs of regret instead of entitlement.  I'm a softie for the people that struggled with something, overcame it, and then worked their way back to a good place.  I don't see that with Tiger.  At one point, he did dominate the game and expanded the market, so he was good for golf.  Now, I sort of don't really care.

Tom Kim is fun. 

Team golf is WAY better than regular stroke play individual golf. Nobody pays attention to "regular" non-major individual tourneys.  There are like 45 other weeks of the year where some more kind of team golf could happen and would make a lot of money relative to the "normal" PGA Tour.  I know LIV has kind of tried to bring team golf to the professional realm and exploit this gap/inefficiency, but it just doesn't seem like its going to last, and the team aspect of that league is pretty weak.
