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.

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???

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.

Time to give credit to other GOLFERS. He hasn't been the number 1 golfer for many years.
Today the Front Page and front page of Sports Section plus 4 others..... hope you are okay.

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.

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.

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?

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.
