Looking forward to all the Koepka is a sta
No, he's not. Lets stop it right there.
I never, ever, ever, thought I would see the level of golf from Tiger again that he's shown in the last two majors at the Open and now, especially, the PGA. It was like we were in the early 2000's again. The atmosphere, the shot making, the putting... absolutely miraculous stuff.
Hard not to feel like without the few simple mistakes, he really should have grabbed one of the last two and that will probably eat at him and just make him hungrier.
There is no way I don't forsee him winning at least one major next year with the way he's playing and the way some of those tracks set up for him. He's proven that he can do much more than hang with the young guys on tour... it's been a treat and such a pleasure to witness.
Going to continue climbing that list too. #1 just being kept warm for him at the moment.Tiger moves to #26 in the OWGR.
Don't agree. Tiger missed so many good opportunities yesterday and then that bad start on Thursday. Everyone has bad breaks in a week. But Tiger also didnt make a putt beyond 16 feet. Now tell me how many Koepka and the others in the top 10 made. This shows that Tiger hit a lot of quality approaches this week. I didnt even mention the 3 putt from 19 feet yesterday on 17. Tiger definitely left some strokes out there. You could look at how he played 17 the last two days as a prime example. Fairway, green, putt, putt, putt, 5. Today, rough near the hazzard, fairway, bunker, putt, 5. Neither of which are really good considering how the hole was playing but that hole alone over the weekend helped prevent him to get to -16.

Do we still consider Rickie Fowler one considering he's done pretty much nothing in his career compared to Koepka?
wonder if Tiger will be playing in the Ryder cup?I usually don't care about the playoffs, but I'm excited for them this year. Ryder Cup should also be pretty cool.
Thanks, appreciate it. Been a rough go... mostly still trying to find some sense of normalcy. Bad days and good days, you know... but trying to get back into the swing of things.Welcome back
How have you been in the last couple months? Seems like you've had a rough couple of summers in a row. Sorry about that.
And I never have considered Fowler a star. I call him the orange jumpsuit gimmick. Had a chance to win today, and played terrible. Didn't even get his patent T3/T4 finish to have the narrative that he was "close" to winning.
This is such crap.
Tigger didn't win because he missed putts. That is the game. Tigger didn't win because some of his putts were close. Ya no **** that is what happens. He had a hole that gave him. Ya that is what happens.
Again if you go through any golfer that was close 4 rounds and they can come up with similar things.
Tiger is going to win another tournament, this made me change my mind. Of course that means it COULD be a major, but still saying he will never win another major.
The dude shot 64 today. He would have had to shoot 62 to get into a playoff, give me a break.Now we are obviously on the exact opposite ends when it comes to feelings towards Tigger but I just don't see it and certainly can't see how it is anything other than homerism to say you don't see him winning at least one.
This year when close he had two tournaments where everyone around him (outside of Koepka) was falling back on Sunday and he still couldn't take advantage. It is hard to imagine that is going to keep happening in the majors next year. Obviously he is getting older and already showing issue of age and injury trouble.
The two close calls seem to show that he is still talented but also show more that he won't win than he will. If he can't do it when everything breaks his way it is hard to imagine that he will when guys are playing well.

He’s #11 on the list behind Phil and DeChambeau.I think Tiger pretty much played himself onto the Ryder Cup team today. He also jumped up to #20 in the Fed Ex Cup standings which gives him a much better shot to make East Lake.
Just an absolute thrill watching him today. Sooooooo very close to pulling it off, save for the awfulness that was #17 and a couple oh so close birdie misses during the round.
You claimed he couldn't take advantage, he did take advantage, he beat everyone except Koepka. He would have had to shoot 62 on Sunday to get into a playoff.I don't really see what your point has to do with mine.
I said that the guys around Tigger all were falling back, although with this course it was more of them not taking advantage of the course where with the British they did fall back with + scores. The point being was it wasn't like someone went out and shot -8 under to beat him. As you say Tigger shot 64 and it still wasn't good enough. What are the chances that in the next 4-8 majors that nobody else goes crazy low.
Tigger had two major tournaments in a row where nobody, outside of Koepka who beat him pretty easily, played great and he couldn't capitalize. I doubt that happens that often going forward which makes it even tougher for him to win one, especially at his age/injury situation.

He just contended in two straight majors after not playing golf for 2 years, if he stays healthy (big if) he will win at least one more major.
