Tiger Woods
Anyone else watch golf for the first time in a long time today? He seems to be getting back to form. He was right in it today, next week is Bay Hill, that dude lived on the course for a LONG time.
|
Fooled again. Only made the putt when it didn't matter.
|
He’s back thankfully
As long as his health holds up |
If only there was a thread where all manner of golf talk took place. :hmmm:

Golf is more fun when Tiger is good. Really wanted him to pull it out today.

Unless he’s managing his sex addiction, his back likely won’t hold out long term.

I watched him Saturday he looked good, but that back will go. They talked about how he learned how not to take it back so far and torque his back in process. He then proceeded to generate 108 mph swing speed on a drive lol. His back wont last IMO.

CBS is hoping for a Tiger vs Speith or Rory Sunday showdown at the Masters.

To think a billionaire golfer named Tiger Woods cannot keep this up... it’s not the NFL.
|
So he's probably the 40th best golfer in the world. If that.
Remember when he got all those kids into golf, and a record number of kids started golfing? Well, those kids are all in their prime right now. The guys he has to beat are better than Mark O'Meara and Fuzzy Zoeller. |

And?

Should've won TBH, missed a couple of putts that could've easily went in...he looked really good.
Consistency is going to be the biggest key for him...curious to see if he can keep it up. I think he can if the back holds up. |
If you throw a healthy, competitive Tiger back in the mix along with Spieth, Thomas, Johnson, McIlroy, Day, Rahm, Garcia, and Mickelson, golf could be must-see TV for the foreseeable future.

Be interested to see how he does at Bay Hill with so many good memories. |
Great to see him back. Pretty much the GOAT IMO...
|
And I was fooled again! Gets within 1 and pulls a drive out of bounds on 16-- a hole he birdied 3 times this week. Mentally, this guy will never get back. It's always one choke after the other.

This guy has NO business even contending at this point and he's outplaying a number of guys. You are a moron. |
I havent missed Tiger...quite frankly, I have enjoyed golf with or without the guy.
I dont hate Tiger, I think he's one of the best golfers in the history of the sport, but I hate the dumbshittery and dumbassery that accompanies his mere presence on the course let alone his contention in a tournament. I get it he's a great golfer...excellent...but the verbal fellating is just too much. |

Steroids took their toll on him in my opinion. His back is bad and his joints are wearing out. Jack's record is safe.

While that's happening one of the greatest finishes of the tournament is happening and it's an afterthought. Examining Tigers rectum might draw viewers, but frankly, I watch the coverage to see the golf tournament. He was done after the bogey on 14. That should have been the end of his wall to wall coverage. |

God I hate being a Tiger fan. A little pressure/expectations on him and he wilts again. YE Yang killed him

I had a problem with Tiger for a long time and then realized that he wasn't the problem... The problem is the media coverage. Just like Jack Nicolas, he could be in next to last place and the crews would be ignoring the leaders and focusing on Jack. I felt the same way about Jack. As soon as Tiger got healthy, it's all anyone talked about. If I were one of the other tour players, it would seem like this would really fire me up (assuming that you can get really fired up about golf).
I like seeing good golf; it doesn't matter who is playing. As far as the best that ever played, it's hard to top Nicolas because of his ability to make that late charge up the leader board. Tiger won most of his tournaments while out in front and watching the competition melt under the pressure. Still a good excuse to take a nap. Even when the big tournaments are on. |

Not sure you understand scoring in golf. Make a double bogey ? Guy in next group makes a birdie? That’s three shots. Suddenly. No lead in golf is safe. Tiger feels the pressure like anyone who picks up the driver on #1 tee. |

I am still a Watson fan. |
Never been the same since Elin hit him in the face with a 9 iron.

I don't watch golf, unless Tiger is playing.

Jack Nicklaus--note the sheer dominance from 1963-1981: https://sportshub.cbsistatic.com/p/d...om/2anVofv.jpg Tiger is great, but he does not come anywhere close to that level of dominance in Majors. Tiger only dominated like that from 1998-2009. Jack had a 9 year stretch where he only finished out of the top 10 in a Major five times, and only missed the cut in a Major once in that same time frame. Tiger never came close to that. |

There has been no other player in the last 30 years where TV coverage literally fellated the player from start to finish and God have mercy if he's anywhere near the lead, then no one else is on the course even if there were others doing better. I do remember a few tournaments where Tiger started to really drop and then there was a media blackout on his play...from every shot to nothing...it was funny to me. Im glad Tiger is back and playing...I think it's great for golf and I feel good for him coming back from his injuries. I just hope that the coverage is not over the top at the Masters. |

While the shot making ability of Tiger was always amazing, he did play in an era where there was no real competition for him. Golf has become much more robotic, where players all have technically correct swings and not a lot of personality. |

^ Old head is having himself a bad round 2. Suck it, Spieth.

I litterly get home switch on the masters and low and behold who is on? None outher than Tigger. So I figure he is in contention as he shank's one off into the trees. He is in 40th place lol and getting coverage.
