Tiger Woods Appreciation Thread part II

[John Price]

But it's better when people like Ben Hogan and Nicklaus and Tiger and Phil aren't playing...because "someone new" can win a major

 

[The Joker*]

I don't think Ben Hogan has won a major in a while.

 

[Cody Webster]

Poor Tiger. He will bounce back. Gotta believe it. Going to his favorite course next week.

Guy on ESPN said his chipping was going to be rough this week, probably wasnt expecting it to be this poor however

 

[PanthersPens62]

I dunno........I'm going to root for Tiger anytime he is on the course, but this has such a David Duval feel to it. I really am beginning to think he is done. I pray I am wrong, but either way, I appreciate all the great moments he gave us over his illustrious career.

 

[CarpeNoctem]

Surprised he's playing this bad. He made adjustments this offseason but he's made adjustments before

Firing swing coaches left and right

Still playing like ****

It makes me sad because with him in the end of his career no one will be able to step up and be "The NExt Tiger". And that's what golf desperately needs. Golf is a sport dependent on dynasties and legends. Without them, the game collapses.

He's been seriously fiddling with his swing for what, 6 or 7 years now?
Let's just admit what I said 4 years ago, he's DONE. He was great, perhaps the best ever for a span of time, but he's now just a tragic figure. The really sad fact of it all is that his on course activities make him look more pitiful than any of his off the course escapades ever did.

For every David Duval there is...

Well, I can't name anybody off hand, but there have been many golfers who have suffered a severe dip in form and a more severe drop in the world rankings etc and have came back to be successful.

He played a grand total of 12 holes before withdrawing due to back pain.

Considering the insane amount of injuries he's had over the last 5-7 years, do we really think he can recover at this point?

 

[daver]

Regardless of his physical shape, I think he was done mentally after 2009. Obviously he is, or was, maybe the most talented golfer ever but he was never grounded enough to see it through to beating Jack's record.

He's been humbled by life but it may too late to see that translate into more wins.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Put a fork in him. He is done. Time to move on to the young guns.

 

[whatsbruin]

Still the GOAT though, so it doesn't really matter.

Jack Nicklaus says Hi.

I heard, with Duval, he broke up with his girl friend, and was never the same.
Not sure if true.

 

[The Joker*]

Duval has/had vertigo. Threw his balance completely out of whack. That's why he fell apart.

Oh jeeze.....this is sounding like a broken record now.

Here's to a great career Tiger.......you got me back into golf & your mark on the game will live forever. There may never be another one like you. Sadly, its done.

 

[Cody Webster]

sad, sad day

get well Tiger

 

[Dakota Sioux]

RT @bradjohansen That might be awhile MT @GolfCentral: Breaking News: Tiger Woods taking leave of absence, will return 'when ready'

Thought he was ready. So if he sucks when he comes back again then what?

 

[Cody Webster]

Retire

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Retire

That works.

 

[John Price]

Maybe Tiger should join the Pro-Am and win tournaments with inflated golf scores

"-22"

 

[Tarasenko]

He should try to win amateur tournaments with -36 scores just to boost his confidence
He should try to play on the Junior teeing area just to boost his confidence
He should try to start cheating his wife again just to boost his confidence
He should try to just to boost his confidence

 

[izzy]

I don't like Tiger Woods now

 

[BenchBrawl]

It's a good thing that Tiger Woods plays Golf, one of the only sport where you can still excel in your 40s.

It's really a shame that a woman destroyed a good chunk of his career as he was chasing the records.What an idiotic woman, marrying Tiger Wood and thinking he won't sleep around in his youth

But regardless, eventually Tiger Woods will kind of get passed that, and will find golf enjoyable once again.I think he's going to have a 3 years second-prime where he will win around 3-4 majors.

 

[Hire Sather]

Watched a thing about the '86 Masters last night.

Hope Tiger at least has that moment one day.

 

[PanthersPens62]

Tiger & Lindsey Vonn have broken up. Classy statements on the breakup by each of them:

Focus on your game now, Eldrick.

 

[SladeWilson23]

He should come to the golf course I work at.
