John Daley did not do too bad as a fat drunk.

The year he won the Master's he lost a lot of weight. Too bad he gained it back.
Now Tiger. That guy is in world class athlete type shape.

This is a guy who needs to lose some serious weight if he ever wants to contend again.And this is news because....?

so it was philly's stomach's fault that he hit driver on the eighteenth at winged foot.
To: Doc Savage
So tell Phil that........
What is it that you are proposing? A PGA rule about the weight of players? State laws of weight limitations on golf courses?
If he is a contender he's a contender, if he's not, it's no one's fault but his own. And no one else's business.

In his rookie year he was called "Fat Jack".

Surely, Phil feels keenly how unfair it is that the greatest golfer of all time showed up just after Phil did. Billy Casper won 51 tournaments, 7 of them majors, despite a physique remarkably similar to Phil. Indeed, Nicklaus was quite chunky his first ten years on tour.
So, one of these days, crazy Phil finally will snap and go after Tiger with his driver--the only question is whether he uses his hook or fade driver. Tiger will elude him easily, of course, because, as you pointed out, Phil is out of shape.
One can only hope that something will intervene to prevent that final catastrophe and indignity for poor Lefty.

It's not the spare tire that will insure he never wins another major, it's the concrete between his ears.
He golfs the ball, he doesn't play golf. He seemed to have figured it out a couple of years ago, but he's gone back to his old ways, overswinging with the driver and hoping he can live with the results.
Just another Tom Weiskopf, talent without a capacity for strategic thought.

Mickelson is talented, and ranked very high in the PGA standings. However, I agree, the guy needs to lose at least 25 lbs.. The majority of golfers you see out there today, that are on the leader board in major tournaments, appear to be in good shape. Tiger Woods is definitely in some sort of weight training program ... he's buffed out and looks like a well conditioned athlete. Being married to a Swedish model, in addition to all the walking he does, I'm sure plays a role.

I knew you guys would come out of the closet. We'll see. I hope he does win, but I think I'm right on this. Daly won the PGA at Crooked stick. If you go back and actually look a photos from the tournament he has some weird hair but was NOT obese at that point. A big boy, but not obese.
I will grant you that he was obese when he won the Open Championship, but he has NOT seriously contened SINCE!
Stadler should have died years ago but there is always an exception. Actually Kevin may beat him to the grave!
Let's watch Lefty next year. If he hasn't slimmed down I predict he never wins another major. The 84 Lumber Special maybe, but he's tasted the last Major of his career.

Tim Herron is up on the leader board tonight and he a bit portly. Phil's game hasn't suffered from it - he is playing some good golf now.

Did he gain all of this weight since this year's Masters or last year's PGA, because I believe he won both of them.

You realize that if he does win another one, you will look foolish.
I assume you were one of those who said he couldn't win "the big one?"

I don't think his weight is as big an issue as everyone makes it out to be.

For Phil do do as well as he has is a great accomplishment. Most golf courses favor the right hander.
