To watch what Tiger is doing with really no competitive rounds under his belt and the tough playing conditions is remarkable. I think he could have won 25 majors if not for the physical problems he's had over the years.Tiger is playing exceptionally well +1 after 36 holes and is tied for 22nd..
No he couldn’t He won the 2019 masters before that his last major was 2008 , he didn’t have physical problems in that time span . The young guns coming on the tour than didn’t fear him and buckle under to him when he made his famous runs like the golfers from 97 -2008 did .To watch what Tiger is doing with really no competitive rounds under his belt and the tough playing conditions is remarkable.

Ironically the thing that he could be practicing with his bum leg is his short game. And his short game is nowhere near what it used to be. That won him a LOT of tournaments in his prime. He was so damned good with his short irons and putter. Not so much now. I’m doubting that he puts the practice time he would need to win now.To watch what Tiger is doing with really no competitive rounds under his belt and the tough playing conditions is remarkable.

Had a ton of back and knee injuries. Just another moron who's not happy with himself unless he can try to diminish the accomplishments of all time greats.Weird, 2008 is when his body started to fall apart, but I’m sure you are right that it must have been the young guns not being afraid of him.🙄
Tiger’s Injury Timeline
It also coincided with him getting older, you know when all declines happen.Ironically the thing that he could be practicing with his bum leg is his short game.

The other thing worth mentioning is that Tiger’s injuries and decline also coincides with the time frame of the PGA instituting PED testing.
I am not trying to diminish Tiger . Even though he is not my favorite golfer he is one of the best to ever play.i was disagreeing with OP that he would have won 25 majors. Nobody will ever do that , Golf is a physically demanding sport and hard on the body.. As Tiger got older and began to have some issues like every golfer does the fear that some had earlier in his career was no longer there.Had a ton of back and knee injuries. Just another moron who's not happy with himself unless he can try to diminish the accomplishments of all time greats.
It wasn’t a slow decline. He fell off a ledge. The facts are the facts. The timetable was what it was. He was out driving people by 20-30 yards until suddenly he wasn’t.It also coincided with him getting older, you know when all declines happen.
Was there in person on Friday and spent a few hours in the bleachers along side the 15th green. I can never remember the 15th hole causing everyone in the field that many problems. The players had a rough time figuring out the gusty, swirling winds that day. Tiger was actually one of the few that got home in two on Friday and was pin high. The longest hitters in the game were all laying up because of the wind.DeChambeau will a big ol’ meltdown on the 15th.

That said, the things that really made Tiger great were his iron play and putting. That was amazing and arrived at by hard work. There’s lots of guys who hit it a ton but I haven’t seen anybody consistently putt and hit short irons like he did.
Its great that ESPNs front page is still featuring the guy currently in last place rather than anyone who has a chance to winIt wasn’t a slow decline. He fell off a ledge. The facts are the facts. The timetable was what it was. He was out driving people by 20-30 yards until suddenly he wasn’t.

Surprised they aren't splitting it between Tiger and Ozempic Phil.Its great that ESPNs front page is still featuring the guy currently in last place rather than anyone who has a chance to win

That guy is the only reason a lot of people even tune in. Golf is just a bunch of boring white guys when Tiger’s not in it.Its great that ESPNs front page is still featuring the guy currently in last place rather than anyone who has a chance to win
Eh I dont know. It was fun to watch The Bear and he was lilly white.That guy is the only reason a lot of people even tune in. Golf is just a bunch of boring white guys when Tiger’s not in it.
He fell off a cliff because his body gave out. The Butch Harmon swing started to ruin his left knee. He changed his swing to accommodate it but it eventually caught up with him. After he tore his ACL and played through a tibia stress fracture in 2008, he had to change his swing for a third time and even he couldn’t overcome it. So yeah…he fell off a cliff after he had major reconstructive surgery on his knee and subsequent swing change. What golfer wouldn’t fall off a cliff?It wasn’t a slow decline. He fell off a ledge.

Scheffler is great. Personally I enjoy watching Finau when he’s in contention. Some of the young guys are fun as well. Morikawa is not exactly white and he’s a good player. I don’t need fist pumping look at me behavior to enjoy watching skillful golfers.Eh I dont know. It was fun to watch The Bear and he was lilly white.
4 tied at -6 with 10 holes to play. Nobody cares about Tiger now.He fell off a cliff because his body gave out. The Butch Harmon swing started to ruin his left knee.

It’s golf. Even those of us on the edge of our seats have several minutes without meaningful action to think about and discuss other topics. You engaged in the topic at first and now you don’t want to talk about after your clear Tiger hate is exposed for not being objective.4 tied at -6 with 10 holes to play. Nobody cares about Tiger now.
I don’t hate Tiger. I just don’t really care about him anymore. He needs to just retire to his yacht. I was rooting for him to make the cut but other than that he’s not competitive anymore.It’s golf.

I am wondering if Scheffler got the beep right now that his wife was in labor he would walk off the course.?4 tied at -6 with 10 holes to play. Nobody cares about Tiger now.
I watched the whole thing. Really wasn’t intriguing after they made the turn. Pretty bad golf from most of the guys today. All that Tiger woods coat tail money and LIV golf BS has made these guys forget what they’re out there to do. No one made a run at today. Or yesterday. Not seriously any way.I don’t hate Tiger.

You should actually watch the Masters right now. It’s a great tournament that is going down to the last few holes with the leaders 20 shots better than where Tigre finished.
Aberg has applied pressure all afternoon. One shot in the water by Scheffler and it could have been game on. What you watched today was unflappable greatness by Scheffler. I’m sorry you can’t appreciate apparently what you just watched.I watched the whole thing. Really wasn’t intriguing after they made the turn. Pretty bad golf from most of the guys today.

I watch to see the flowers and hear the birds. Seriously.That guy is the only reason a lot of people even tune in. Golf is just a bunch of boring white guys when Tiger’s not in it.
Pressure? The whole field went backwards minus Aberg. Scheffler was spraying the ball everywhere the front 9 and no one could make a putt. The back 9 he hit the safe shot every time, aiming for the middle of the green and not even bringing water into play. Really boring 4th day. No one seriously made a run at him the last 9 holes.Aberg has applied pressure all afternoon. One shot in the water by Scheffler and it could have been game on.

Historically in the Masters “runs” are made when the pressure gets to the leader and he pissesit down his leg. Scheffler was outstanding on the back nine. He’s a no nonsense, head down act like you’ve been there kind of guy. By all accounts he treats people around him well and is humble. Contrast that to the has been you still have a man crush on. 😉Pressure? The whole field went backwards minus Aberg.

That’s great he’s a good person. He’s also a very good golfer. Currently, the best in the world. That doesn’t make it good theater. No one else showed up. Too many talented guys are content to collect their Tiger Woods and LIV checks rather than go all out to be at their best.Historically in the Masters “runs” are made when the pressure gets to the leader and he pissesit down his leg.

I tried it and I could really leave it. Not good.Break out the pimento cheese! But if you serve it on anything besides white bread (crusts removed, cut into a diagonal) don't tell me!!
Did the try to real stuff? I remember growing up and my Mom (in Omaha) would buy pimento cheese in some fancy glass jar and it was AWFUL.I tried it and I could really leave it. Not good.
