laughedatbytime Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 http://www.sbnation....-times-saturday Apparently the earlier ones were right... No these are different. The ones RushCanuck posted were the first 2 round pairings and times. I hadn't seen these and thanks for posting them. The way they are doing it is commonplace when they have to go in threesomes off split tees because of weather. It just so happens that Tiger, Spieth etc are so far back that they go last off of no. 10 tee..... Why would you not have the best scores in the bottom half go off on 10 last?That is never the way they do it and I don't know why. As much as I want to see Tiger this really has nothing to do with him in this case. He, Speith and the other guy they are playing with were last to post at +2 so are considered to be last. That is why they go last off 10..... So we have to be forced to watch as he birdies 3 out of the first four holes and they give him complete coverage until he fades away on the back nine. If he can get through the first two holes less than +2 he'll be doing better than he did each of the first two days. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they hadn't split the field Tiger would be going out in the first group... I don't really care, I won't be watching the network coverage anyway, I'll have other DirecTV options...This is how they always do it and you are correct. He and Speith would have been done and long gone (before the leaders even warmed up) had the weather not forced the pairings and tee times being moved up......

Just so happens/ Just because Tiger goes off the same time Rory does on the other side of the golf course doesn't mean they will show Tiger any. They probably won't even show any of his shots because he is so far behind...... :)Well, if it's like the first two rounds, there will be over 10% more shots from Tiger than Rory to show....I've never seen this ever during the final two rounds - This is all about ratings and publicity..

goose Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 http://www.sbnation....-times-saturday Apparently the earlier ones were right... If that's true it's total Bulls**t.Yes, it is. Instead of watching the leaders and players with a chance we'll be seeing more of someone 14 shots off the pace. This is why I hate Tiger because of media's love affair with the gigolo.It's not the media, it's the viewers. Ratings history supports that theory, friends.

Narps Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I am telling you they do this in regular tour events when weather deems it necessary from time to time and it has nothing to do with Tiger.

RushCanuck Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 I read they are going to go off tees 1 and 10 tomorrow in threesomes for the first time ever due to terrible weather potential. Maybe there is some way they can sneak Tiger in the final group to get some folks to watch..... :DSo does this impact the television coverage, which was scheduled to start 7 am Eastern? Do they change the time, or keep it? Will we be seeing coverage on tape?I don't know. I looked for the tee times but they weren't posted yet....... Here are the tee times. My interpretation is that they are the local times.. in other words, the 9:00 am tee time is actually 4:00 am Eastern. This is only my interpretation, any other comments or corrections are welcome. http://scores.theope...n/TeeTimes.aspx these are the ESPN television listings as they sit right now... My interpretation is that the coverage still starts at 7:00 am Eastern. Any comments or corrections are welcome. (the ESPN3 coverage is the wall to wall Tiger coverage??) http://espn.go.com/e...7-19-14-3:00-AM so, I'm speculating it will be taped coverage if both the above stay the same.. Hey everyone! I just checked ESPN website and now it says coverage will begin at 5:00 am Eastern, not at 7:00 as it stated a couple of hours ago... guess I'm getting up earlier than I planned. http://espn.go.com/e...7-19-14-1:00-AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
