He's almost back. Don't let that 85 he shot today fool you, he's still the most dangerous player on tour!!
Tiger's REALLY Close...
- Thread starter Greenway4Prez
- Start date
Not to mention age and many of the younger players are as talented as he was when he was relevant.
Eldrick is finished watching him flounder out on the golf course is actually entertaining to watch.
I sure don't deny how great he was. The best ever for 10 yrs...but he has screwed it up, imo.
Loved to watch him play in his prime.
I'm of the opinion that he'd have Jack's record already if he had been smarter/more conservative off the tee from the beginning. He was ridiculous off the tee with his 2-iron, and there were some majors where he was finished before it even began because he was going to drive it in the junk 50% of the time.
He needs to take the rest of this, and maybe the entire next season off. First, get his health in order. Don't even touch a club; get his body and mind right, hit the reset button. Then, rebuild the swing. Slowly.
I'd rather watch Tiger struggle than the crapfest that is the Senior PG Tour.
I watched about 2 hours of that this morning and decided to go to work instead of watching anymore. I respect their talents, but those most of those guys are just happy to live through 18 holes and collect the paycheck that comes automatically in a no-cut event.

IMO he would never have beat Jack's record for those who think he can, sit back and watch.
The 2-iron became obsolete when the balata ball went away. The advent of the Pro V1 kept people from launching the ball in the air with a 2-iron.
From the physical side, Tiger's body is 40 years old and
not holding up well. Surgeries and Steroids killed him.
From the mental side, Tiger's mind is filled with the problems
he created for himself off the links. His divorce and philandering
made him a national joke.

Look at who Woods had to compete with early in his career...look at all these young guns now. If he were coming into his own at this stage of golf history he might still be looking for his first major...
Get real...Phil was a walking head case...Els was good for a couple of majors... but he managed to lose more majors than he won. The rest of the cast included the likes of Mark O'Meara, Davis Love III, Fred Couples and a cast of no names. Woods played the mental game and they disappeared. These young guns are beating Woods at his own game...and they are better than he is...and he knows it.

They? I notice you are putting the whole field against one guy. When one of them wins the US Open by 15 shots then wins the next three majors come back and talk.
Isn't that the way it is in golf when you have someone who is dominating at the time? Give my boy Rory a few more major wins and they will be doing the same with him...

Eldrick Woods is not coming back - repeat Eldrick Woods is not coming back.
Deal with it!

Tiger would have won a bunch of majors in any era. He had ridiculous talent.
Now he's too old and his mental edge is gone.

Golf is not the same without Tiger. The ratings show it. It was awesome watching Tiger during his prime. He made golf what it is today. He brought fitness to golf. He brought attention to the game which lead to golf manufacturers putting more money into research and development to produce clubs that made other golfers better
Golf will continue without Tiger, the networks will continue to cover it and people will continue to watch it.
Ping and the other club manufacturers will not go bankrupt, people will continue to purchase clubs and play the game.
Rest easy we will move on.

Not to take anything from how good he was because he would have won some in any era but there was a time when his main rival was David Duvall.
Interesting that when Tiger's old Dr. was arrested for distributing PED's is about the time his game started to slip.
Weird week for him.
-2 on the front nine, with a 42 on Saturday.
+16 on the back nine, only breaking 40 once out of 4 days.
Since he's come back from the Farmer's, where everyone on GC wrote him off for the rest of his career, he's made all 3 cuts in the tournaments he's played. He finished T-17 at Augusta, T69 at the players and 71st at the Memorial.
List of players who missed at least 1 of those 3 cuts below. How many of you will bet that 0 of these guys ever win another major? I'll give anyone 5-1 on $100 and I'll take that this field produces 1 major championship in the next 5 years:
Rickie Fowler- #7 in the world (Memorial)
Jason Day- #10 in the world (Memorial and Players)
Gary Woodland- #28 in the world (Memorial, Players and Masters)
Justin Thomas- #79 in the world (Memorial)
Charl Schwartzel- #44 in the world (Memorial)
Justin Rose- #6 in the world (Players)
Matt Kuchar- #18 in the world (Players)
Keegan Bradley- #43 in the world (Players)

Lee Westwood- #27 in the world (Players)
Jimmy Walker- #11 in the world (Players)
Harris English- #70 in the world (Players)
Hunter Mahan- #35 in the world (Players)
Brandt Snedeker- #30 in the world (Players and Masters)
Jordan Spieth- #2 in the world (Players)
Phil Mickelson- #19 in the world (Players)
Luke Donald- #64 in the world (Players and Masters)
Jim Furyk- #5 in the world (Masters)
Billy Horschel- #20 in the world (Masters)
Martin Kaymer- #17 in the world (Masters)
Tiger needs to play more. He needs to get a driver he can hit with some consistency, or scrap it except on the longest courses. But all is not lost with him. His career isn't over, and some of you are hilarious with your lack of golf knowledge.
Lastly, I'll leave this scorecard here at the end. I'm shocked we didn't see a thread about this number getting posted last week in Ireland...

The only way he is the "most dangerous" is if he wants your wife or girlfriend.
Don't you think playing more is just going to mess with his swing and reinforce some bad habits?Weird week for him.

None of those guys is named Tiger Woods. That's how I know that field will produce a major winner in the next five years. And LMAO at you being some great historian and repository of golf knowledge. As rich as your knowledge is, sadly, it is obscured by your myopic view of TW and his future ability- based on nothing but an ever-distant history...
He's done.
LMAO at your know it all ways. I'm sure you were saying these things about Woods prior to the 2012 & 2013 seasons, then he won 8 times. You're probably the guy who only watches golf when Woods is playing, & it's only to root against him. I'm going to assume you don't like LeBron James either.
No? The only way to progress is to take it and put it under pressure. We're all 4 time All-Americans on the driving range...
Just hope he plays at the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits. Will be the first time I've been to a PGA event and since the dude is my childhood hero, I just hope he shows up. I'm just worried he'll go into hiding after this performance, citing injury or "personal reasons."
You guys just don't get it. Tiger set the bar so unbelievably high that it's much easier for people to pick apart his struggles than any other player.
Rory shot 80. Last week. And missed the cut in his own tournament. Not a peep was said about it. (He also shot 78 and missed the cut the week before, with no one noticing)
Tiger played 3 pretty decent rounds, managing to shoot around par (with 2 back 9 40s), in a tournament where the world #7 and 10 missed the cut. He played one god awful round. Shit happens.
There has been exactly 1 person to win PGA Tour player of the year since Tiger last won it. Think about that.
Additionally, Tiger has 12 missed PGA Tour cuts, since 1997, and 3 other worldwide cuts (from the statistics I can find).
Meanwhile, Rory has 23 (4 were before he was a pro, I believe) missed cuts on the European Tour and 11 on the PGA Tour. Yet everyone proclaims Tiger to be dead at every misstep.
I think Tiger has plenty of faults. And he's a long way from his 2000 self. But to act like it's out of the realm of possibilities that he wins another 1-4 majors is just idiotic. The guy has an 11-1 playoff record, 14 majors, and 79 PGA Tour wins. Bet against him if you want, I just think it's a mistake (and that those feelings are generally driven by a bunch of non-golf related factors).
What makes you think that? Wouldn't he have done that yesterday if that was the case? He played in the first group all alone this morning.
If Tiger is healthy he'll play the PGA (and the US, British, and 3-5 others).
