Tiger
 

Go get them Tiger. Show the young pups how it is done.

Out with the old in with the new

The "old" can still win. Check the crowds since Tiger is back. If he wins, I can't wait to see all his critics jump on the band wagon.

I have not seen any young player win consistently like some of the older guys did. Watch Tiger today and you will see real golf.

Tiger Tiger Tiger. Why is it all about Tiger? Even the Sports page had a picture of him and he isn't in the lead; 5 other GOLFERS ahead of him.

Time to give credit to other GOLFERS. He hasn't been the number 1 golfer for many years.

My perspective?

No different than the other greats from the past....that come back to win every........ once in a while as well.

Nice finish Tiger.

Those other golfers you want to give credit to.....got their butts kicked :)

Pretty impressive what he did today given that he had several back surgeries ending with having vertebrae fused in his back. Fighting through that earns some respect in my book.

I used to love Tiger Woods. I thought he was such a role model for young kids. Then I found out he wasn't at all the person I thought he was. Still can't get past that. In my book, you can't be an ass in your personal life but "all is forgiven" in your professional life. Maybe that's just me.

The same Colin Kaepernick Nike?
Nike means crap to me.

Physically strong, mentally tough. One great golfer!

Hard work and determination lead to accomplishment. The rest is for the national enquirer.

:agree:

Other golfers got their butt kicked? Really? he won by 2 strokes over 72 holes.

How come the winning golfer (Tiger especially) always say how well the played as if they won by a large number of strokes.

Your telling me that at least one or two of the strokes weren't somewhat lucky as to where they landed.

:ohdear: Like the old saying goes..... "They don't ask how, they ask how many."
The man has 15 Majors and you're talking "luck". Don't know much about the game??? :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

As were one or two of those strokes by the other other golfers. Some are haters, some don't understand the game, some just won't give credit to those that deserve it or appreciate the accomplishments. It abounds in all sports.....after awhile, fans hate to see success.

:coolsmiley: Today the Front Page and front page of Sports Section plus 4 others..... hope you are okay. :ho:

There is no argument over the past accomplishments.
Fast forward to today....the last 5 years....when considering the new up and coming players vs current time frame performance.

The yeah but he has 14 championships argument has a limit.

A for instance....yesterday one of the announcers kept saying Tiger had Master's experience.....14 years ago!!!!

Give him whatever credit he is due. However, the constant coverage and focus on him when he is on page two or further back at the expense of the currents leader(s).......does have a limit for some of us.

Also if some of us are not for him it is totally incorrect to equate that with "hate".

To each his own.

:popcorn::popcorn:

Correct on both points...especially the second one.

Why did announcers mention Tiger's Masters experience? Easy, he started playing the tournament in 1995 as an amateur and played in everyone since except for 2014, 2016 ,and 2017 when back issues wouldn't allow it.

Has nothing to do with what I am citing.
The announcer had commented that some of the difficult shots made were due to his Masters experience. Just another instance of Tiger gushing by some announcers.

Well, I think it should be pretty obvious by now...why Tiger was/is mentioned and referenced so often. :1rotfl:

Lets see, your point is that if someone has played the course, the Masters and has endured the pressure of that major 22 times doesn't provide him an advantage? Do I have that right?

Excellent point! :thumbup:


Will be anxious for the response.


:popcorn:

Using similar logic, then Phil Michelson should be acing it having played the course 100 times!!!

Ah diversion......lets refocus the conversation. All the announcers were doing was stating the truth....they also said it about Phil who, at 49 continued to be in the mix. While a bit more of a risk taker than Tiger his experience continues to keep himself competitive. If you knew the game you would understand that but, continue with your dialogue....since it makes you and others feel better.

Just curious, thought players were required to wear a shirt with a collar.

Not he GOD of Golf. He can do anything he wants.

Probably can also get his kids into any college LOL

Dress Code for Men
Shirts shall have a collar and sleeves. Turtle-necks or mock turtle-necks are acceptable. (Min. 1/4 inch collars.)

Back to the original subject, not Tiger's fashion statements (and what about that gum chewing?!!!).....here is something going around Facebook that I think captures the spirit of Tiger's win very well.

"This is why I was rooting for Tiger today......

He had it all. Everything. Until he didn’t. And the fall was not a small one. It was documented everywhere. All his sins, and there were plenty, for the world to see. Whispers, finger pointing, head shaking, headlines.

Slowly, with almost nobody watching and even less believing, he started coming back. An injury almost ended the comeback before it even started. He persevered through that as well.

Today, with the world watching, he does it. A generation who years ago sat with their dads watching Tiger win sat with their own kids now and said, “watch this.” A generation inspired to become and excel at golf by watching Tiger on TV as kids watched one more time today as he passed them on the leaderboard.

His children who watched it all unfold over the last decade with their own parts in the story are waiting for him just off the 18th green. The mom who watched her son have it all, and then lose it all, is waiting too. She never left, by the way. Mommas almost never do.

The story isn’t perfect. They never are. We never are. But it’s a heck of a good one. Watch closely kids. Being great is one thing. Being great after falling out of grace takes twice as much work and ten times as much courage. That’s the good stuff in life. That’s why a bunch of old dudes got tears in their eyes today."

Tiger made it into Stanford (and was reportedly a good student) on his own, as I'm pretty sure Earl didn't have the big bucks...to buy Tiger's way in. :ohdear:

"Hooked on a feeling." (poke here)

One could legitimately argue that it was a very reckless thing for him to do, especially given his financial situation at the time...but it certainly worked out.

Good for him! :thumbup:

An interesting opinion piece, on the current state and future...of the game so many of us love. :ho:

I really hope...the prediction is wrong. :(

Personal perspective, relativity, bias and interpretation tend to yield differing results.....which we have!

LET US GO TO THE VIDEO, SHALL WE. I have bias, but my relativity and interpretation can be PROVEN with ease

Wonder how much admiration Tiger fans had for Sergio's talent and contributions to the game. He deserves to be forgiven too ? Way to go PGA. At least the NFL calls a penalty on poor sportsmanship.
