Summary
Should you master one reliable stock shot… or learn to shape it both ways? This week on Off TRAQ, we debate whether golfers are overcomplicating the game by chasing all 9 windows instead of building one predictable pattern. Then we shift gears: Tiger Woods hints at another Masters run — is a 50 year old Tiger good for the game even if he misses the cut? (26:15) Is the PGA Tour finally making structural changes to create more must watch events? (28:30) Is pro shop fashion becoming less traditional and more Instagram driven? (30:45) And in a separate segment, we break down the actual stats required to break 80 — fairways, GIR, putts, penalties, and scrambling percentages. (35:23) If you’re serious about lowering scores or just love debating where golf is headed, this episode covers both.
