TIGER WOODS

The 2 courses he played- Augusta and Southern Hills- are among the most difficult walks of any golf course on the PGA Tour. The good news for him is that the US Open and British Open shouldn't be quite as bad.

I'm guessing you don't play a lot of golf. Augusta and Southern Hill both have a difficult slope rating of 137, but nothing compared to Bethpage Black at 155. This years US Open course has a slope rating of 146 so it will be much more difficult to play. It's a USGA event, and the US Open is always more difficult to play with having the thickest rough and fastest greens.

I was talking about walking distance. The commentators during the Masters and PGA both mentioned what I posted above.

Fair enough EB, just keep in mind it's more about the slope than the distance/yards. The lower the slope the easier it is to walk the course. The higher the slope the hillier it is making it more difficult. I've walked 36 holes when the slope was say 115, I could never do that on the course they played today.

Tiger will be back on the golf course this coming weekend & next. This time he’ll be using a cart to move around. His permanently damaged leg makes it way too hard for him to move around without the help of a cart. Should be fun to watch!
