Tiger predictions anyone?
1st practice round at Augusta was encouraging. Engaging with crowds, score on front nine was 30, smiles for his buds....Today a little more serious...
I sure would like to see a top ten finish. |
I'll have a go.
He either WDs or misses the cut and in doing so, steals the spotlight from the leaders. |
After first shank or double bogie, he will begin to have spasms. He willthen another couple of holes and withdraw
|
No prediction, but how he does early on with those nasty chips/pitches will be big. And how he does after his first poor chip/pitch (if he hits one) will be even bigger.
|
I hope he does well. I really miss watching him play good golf.

Probably Tiger Woods will miss the cut if not be out before that because of continued back problems.
|
Wow!....Just watched the golf channel and...
Tiger was signing autographs.....Not sure I've EVER witnessed THAT!
I'm a believer in karma and when you give, sometimes it gives back...Good example, Stacey Lewis did not give hand pats after second playoff hole last week,Brittney Lincicome did... |
tiger will never again, be as good as he once was.
|
Withdrawal before end of round Friday.
|
I hope he does well, if he didn't have so much money he would probably do a lot better. I don't he hungry any more. Take hungry as motivation to pass jack records.
|
I will be surprised if he makes the cut and finishes the tournament.
|
I don't think you will see his courtesy car driving up Magnolia Lane on Saturday and Sunday
|
Unfortunately, I think he will not do well, probably miss the cut. I think he's lost his focus and edge, IMHO.

Normally I'd think that anyone that comes down with a case of the chip yips is pretty much done. It happened to me and a friend of mine that was one of the best amateurs in Massachusetts.
But, we're talking about Tiger Woods here. This guy has accomplished things and over come things that I would have thought were impossible. Nothing he does would surprise me. If he does come back I will be even more in awe of his enormous talent. I would love to see him win this event. It would be great for the game of golf. As far as him having too much money and that effecting his desire to win, he was given an $18,000,000 million contract by Titleist when he turned pro and that didn't effect him. After that contract expired, he signed an eighty million dollar contract with Nike and he kept winning and setting records. Money has never been a motivating factor for Tiger. His desire to be the best in the history of the game is what motivates him. |

Wow!! A lot of Tiger hate in this thread.

I dislike the fact he is playing.
The focus of the entire media will be on him. Way too much dialogue will focus on him. It is an unfair distraction and dis-service to the young stars of today. At some point the reality should begin to set in ....Tiger Woods of yesterday and yesteryear are no more. We can hope that if he does not do well the commentators have the good sense to concentrate on the stars of the day. |
He will be on the leader board come sunday,John Daly told me so.

I hope he makes the cut and stages a "Sunday miracle" to finish in top 3. A good finish will genuinely improve his mindset. He's earned his fame and can overcome the negativity of past mistakes.
|
Tiger is good for the game...just as Arnie, Gary and Jack were years ago. I hope he does well...maybe in the top ten. I love reading the hate mail....do you think "The Big Three" were faithful to their spouses?
|
Quote:
And in answer to your question...yes...I think Arnie was faithful to his spouse. And I really have no reason to believe Jack and Gary were not also. Are you just assuming all major athletes are unfaithful? I think your assumption regarding the big three is just as "hateful" as anything said in this thread about Tiger...possibly more so since you have nothing to base it on. |

Polar Bear: That was a question that I didn't know the answer to....... not an assumption!

Hope he gets cut so the golfers that are playing good get some air time. Can't stand hearing about him all week.

This is Tiger's career earnings.
CAREER 311 275 79 24 185 246 69.5 1133 $109,612,414.00 Jack Nicklaus, who has the most all-time wins in the majors (18) and is third on the all-time PGA Tour wins list (73), won just $5.7 million in his career, or just $78,548 per win. Arnold Palmer, who is fifth on the all-time wins list with 62 career PGA Tour victories, had just $1.9 million in career earnings, or just $30,030 per win. |

So if you earned $100/week that is the equivalent of $800/week. |
Tiger opens with +1 73, middle of the pack, ahead of golfers like Snedecker, Furyk, Luke Donald, Dufner, Mahan,and Kaymer. Not bad after such a long layoff.
|
Not bad +1. Behind Els, Garcia, Mickelson, Watson, Cabera and some 30 plus others. I suspect ESPN will change the focus slightly tomorrow since history was made today but that wasn't the script anticipated that sells commercial time.

9 strokes behind after the first round Priceless.
