You are right anyone can play the TPC. I did once in thne early 90's. I was the first one off that morning and they had noone to play with me so I played the entire course alone. I put 2 in the water at 17.
I have given up on golf. I can't hit the ball very far anymore and even though he is one of the greatest players, I can't stand Tiger's fist jabbing. It is like he is showing disrespect to the other players.
One of the world's worst golfers here, but if I could play like Tiger, I'd do a little fist-pumping too.
