Strategy Is money still a motivator for Tiger Woods, Mickelson at PGA Championship?|Golf for Beginners

Since I could not attend (via telephone) a recent press conference held by Golf Channel with Brandel Chamblee and Frank Nobilo (aka @FrankNobiloGC), I received the transcript in which the analysts spoke about Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson’s dwindling chances to win the 2012 PGA Championship.  Woods has certainly bounced back strong this season from debilitating problems on the home front but his mindset may not be ready for the majors. And what about Phil Mickelson’s chances…Is his crippling illness forcing him out of the game?

With regards to Tiger Woods? Likelihood to win the PGA Championship, Chamblee spoke about the unpredictability of the Ocean path and Tiger?S beyond weakness establishing the doors to quite a few distinctive players. Frank Nobilo mentioned that ?He is at least been capable of contend? And that the Ocean Course, ?Gives him a touch little bit of leeway and it's a huge golfing course.?

As for Mickelson, analyst Frank Nobilo pointed to Phil’s arthritic condition forcing a slowdown and having Lefty take life at a more leisurely pace with his family. With regards to Mickelson’s level of play, Frank noted, “there's been more time away from the game this year than ever before.  And you know, physically, he just doesn't look 100 percent. Obviously his game is not sharp.”

Chamblee additionally made mention of Mickelson having to regulate his golfing recreation in mild of his slowed swing speed (down from one hundred twenty to 116 mph over the past couple of years.) The common golfer?S swing pace, as mentioned via Livestrong.Com, states that Tour specialists common a swing velocity of one hundred and five-110mph, LPGA Tour golfers ?Are measured at among ninety and one hundred mph? And that, ?The common woman golfer swings between 60 and 70 mph.? Mickelson nonetheless has a healthful swing pace and, as long as his pace remains fluid, I think he can manage his sport.

The Golf Channel moderator then asked,

?How long do you think that he (Phil Mickelson) can stay prompted into his 40s, given what he's finished, and what's left to perform?

Brandel Chamblee said that Mickelson is prompted to win a profession Grand Slam and still has a threat to win the U.S. Open.

Finally, does winning a major championship to these two veteran golfers, and to the rest of the field, have the same meaning as it once did?

Chamblee bluntly answered, no, now not from a economic standpoint however yes from a ancient one.

Historically, as an example, ?When Shawn Micheel walks by means of, the primary issue you think about is the 7-iron he hit to the very last inexperienced winning the PGA Championship.?

Monetarily it could not mean that lots to the higher ranked gamers, ?Anywhere at the Money List, you are making deep seven determine incomes,? Said Chamblee pointing out that Luke Donald earned twenty-five million bucks within the past two years with out ever winning a primary.?

Frank Nobilo disagreed, “that's what Tiger Woods is chasing right now.  And guys realize that it is their meal ticket.  People look at Adam Scott not winning, it's cost him about $20 million.”
