Tiger Woods set to make an announcement on Monday morning
By Shane Bacon

If Tiger Woods is calling in his media "friends," you know something is up. That's why the news that Tiger will sit down with The Golf Channel's Kelly Tilghman on Monday morning at 11 AM ET seems a bit strange. Tiger hasn't played golf since early May at the Players Championship, and announced last week that he wouldn't be attending the British Open this week at Royal St. George's.

What could it be? Well, there are a number of things that Tiger might need to get off his chest. Here are a few of the possibilites.

-- Tiger won't play golf for the rest of 2011. This one seems like the most likely because if Tiger is still hurting, and really wants to get 100 percent, he might need more time away from the game.

-- Tiger needs to have surgery to fix his knee/Achilles.

-- Tiger might comment on his relationship with Anthony Galea, maybe just to clear the air after Galea was indicted last week on counts of transporting illegal drugs across the border for a number of athletes.

-- Tiger might be giving us an idea of when he will return to golf.

Our good friend Ryan Ballengee over at Pro Golf Talk also threw in retirement as a possible topic, but I'm not totally sure Tiger is ready to hang up the Nike cleats just yet.

Stay tuned to Devil Ball, and follow us on Facebook and Twitter for up to the minute reaction from whatever Woods has to say on Monday.

I hope not, he's probably due for a year hiatus but I'm willing to bet that's it and will come back a bad ass again.

[keg in kc]

I have a feeling if he ever does retire, it'll be a Brett Favre style retirement. He's too competitive to stop playing.

[Bowser]

I bet he shuts it down the rest of the year so he can thoroughly rehab his knee/achilles.

[Predarat]

He might as well.

Jordan style more than likely.

That would shock me, although less so now because there was this thread.

[Rain Man]

How do you retire from playing golf? What would you do during the week? Go work at Subway?

I'm not sure I'd say he's incredibly competitive. If he was, I think he's show up to the course more often.

I will say that's he's driven - he badly wants Jack's record. That's why he busts his ass during those majors. It isn't because he's competitive, but because he's committed to a cause.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him walk away if he beats Jack's record.

[tk13]

Has to be sitting out the rest of the year. No way he retires. That would be one of the all-time shockers, I don't care how much he's been through.

[Rain Man]

"Y'know, I've been working hard for a long time now, and I just want to be able to get up in the morning and not play a round of golf."

[Valiant]

No one ever retires.. They just move to the senior tour..

[BigMeatballDave]

He's taking his talents to the LPGA.

[Rain Man]

He's taking his talents to the LPGA.

Because in the LPGA having sex with a bunch of women is no big deal.

[Just Passin' By]

He wants to be a winner again, so he's going to join the U.S. Women's soccer team.

[Easy 6]

I heard him & Rocco Siffredi are going to do an ASSMAN series down in Brazil.

Man, this is like shooting fish in a barrel.

The way Tiger's been shooting, a barrel might be too big.

[Al Bundy]

Retiring from Golf? Old fat former athletes go play golf to feel like they are still competitive. Thats why all the old former athletes do those stupid charity golf events.

[LiveSteam]

Minnesota Vikings are looking for a Q/B with a good golf game.

Because on the Minnesota Vikings having sex with a bunch of women is no big deal as long as it's on a boat.

[BigMeatballDave]

Because on the Minnesota Vikings having sex with a bunch of women is no big deal as long as it's on a boat.:LOL: Keep going...

[Reaper16]

He's just going to shut himself down for the rest of the year. As he should. He's still young enough to break Jack's record; but he needs to me healthy -- physically and mentally -- in order to do it.

[LiveSteam]

//Because on the Minnesota Vikings having sex with a bunch of women is no big deal as long as it's on Bridge 9340 .

[aturnis]

He's just announcing he's got the AIDs and thought it'd be the easiest way to get all the reporters, fanatics, and players he diddled in one place to make telling them easy. What, did you think Tiger only slept around with the ladies? That wouldn't be real Tiger like, you know, when there's just so much of him to go around...

[Chiefshrink]

He has a love child and is getting ahead of the story now.

[Okie_Apparition]

The real Tiger died in that car accident & his double can't live the lie anymore. Not without the pornstars

["Bob" Dobbs]

Doesn't CP just kick ass?

meh.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

LMAO

[Jerm]

I wonder if it'll be something to do with PEDs/Galea...after Galea's admission last week you know it's only a matter of time before the ish hits the fan...could see Tiger trying to nip it in the ass before it gets out of hand.

It'll probably be something mundane and boring though.

[Otter]

I bet he shuts it down the rest of the year so he can thoroughly rehab his knee/achilles.

I don't play golf but really, how much stress is it on the legs? He's 35 years old. What exactly are you recovering from?

In other words, I think he just needs some time away to realize how much he misses the sport. We all do in one capacity or another.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Agreed.

And IIRC, he's still ahead of Jack's pace, even with a subpar past two seasons.

He, like Micheal Jordan and Kobe Bryant, is a competitive psychopath. There's no way he's hanging it up four short of the record he's had tacked onto his wall since he was six.

He's probably going to sit out the rest of 2011.

[Phobia]

I think he's going to announce that he's becoming white because of all the intense pressure from the black community.

[Demonpenz]

Announcing that him and Fuzzy Zeller are opening Juicy Ass Chicken restaurants

There is a lot of stress on the legs. You get your power and club head speed from your hip turn. You have to keep your feet firmly planted and with all the twisting and turning of your knees, hips, and upper body it puts a lot of pressure on your ankles, knees and lower back.

I'm just thinking it's about 85% mental and 15% physical. Tiger is built like a brick shit house and he's 35, that's prime in golf terms isn't it? The guys been thru the ringer and needs a year off is what I see.

But again, I know nothing about the wear and tears of golf. Just an observation. Thanks for input tho, now I can say something next time a golf conversation comes up.

[Phobia]

Tiger's body isn't breaking down from golf. It's breaking down from twisting blondes into pretzels and sticking it in every hole 3x a day. That is grueling work. Ask me. I know.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I'm just thinking it's about 85% mental and 15% physical.

That would be wrong. Tigers swing puts an inordinant amount of pressure on his knee. Sports Science broke it down recently. He's going to have to alter his whole swing to keep from killing his knee over and over again it seems. If he doesn't he'll just go through the never ending cycle of healing and breaking again.

[Jerm]

It's breaking down from all the PEDs he took as well.

[brorth]

It's breaking down from all the PEDs he took as well.

So I understand the whole "around the world on a pretzel", but I had to go to the urban dictionary to find out how to perform this PED you speak of.

I didn't find it.

But, I did find this:


22. Sexed Up Rockey Style
Filthy sex acts , originally discovered in Johnson County. It is now most commonly found in Wyandotte County.
Prior to Rockey style action, there is an excess of teasing from the initiator.

It is damn good.
A typical session of being Sexed Up Rockey Style involves side-stepping around dirty sexual acts for a period of a month. ( Lots of use of sexual innuendo which does not come to fruition until around the time previously mentioned.) This is followed by wild oscillating intercourse.

[Demonpenz]

[Just Passin' By]

Oh, **** Tiger Woods.

He needed his own show to make "the Decision" about switching management teams?

[LiveSteam]

I heard Chimborazo Africa

[DJ's left nut]

So Tiger Woods joined Excel Sports Management, whatever the fuck that is.

Excel Sports Management's first job should be explaining to Tiger's sports management team why it's a really stupid idea to have a 'decision' moment in order to change your PR team.

Oh wait....

Idiots.

[LOCOChief]

I for one am looking forward to seeing him make a comeback.

Love to see McIlroy vs Tiger when they're both on their A game.

[007]

Took a page out of Lebron's book. Only without pissing an entire city off.
