Tiger Woods (Official Thread)

[Jake]

Tiger Woods' stunning downfall reached another low on Friday when he missed the cut at the PGA Championship. The player who once dominated golf headed home after shooting a 10-over 150 at Atlanta Athletic Club.

Tiger misses cut, thousands of jock sniffers wandering streets of Atlanta this weekend

Retire.

Tiger getting some love from Couples for the Presidents Cup and from Monty, as he invites him to the Johnny Walker.

Tiger getting some love from couples...

For some odd reason, my first thought when reading that opening line has nothing to do with golf.

Eating breakfast at Perkins, or Nevin Shapiro and Donna Shalala, maybe...but not golf.

I still support Tiger and his quest for Jack's record.

Give everyone in the current top 100 a persimmon driver to hit that has one third the face of the current drivers, and let them hit it as far and as accurately as the Golden Bear for such a long career. [censored] Tiger. I hope Jack's accomplishments and list of Majors never gets beaten.

Fair enough. Make everyone from back then play on elongated courses with tighter fairways and longer rough. I don't know why there's such hate for Tiger. Okay, he curses on the course and slams his club. Never in my life have I seen a golfer do that...Alright, so he's playing in a different era that doesn't include Jack, Arnie, Player, Seve, etc., etc. You can't penalize a golfer for when they were born. Babe Ruth doesn't get dogged just because he played in an era where everyone's best cheese was 85 mph. He has 14 majors in however many years. That is remarkable in itself. The run he went on in the early-mid 2000's were absolutely amazing, the definition of pure domination. Any tournament he was in, you were certain he would come away the victor. This is all just a bunch of rambling.

I hear that Tiger may have some character and personality issues that turn people off. :tongue2:

Jack's a Buckeye - that's all the reason many of us need to hope that his record doesn't get broken.

Fair enough. Make everyone from back then play on plush fairways, groomed bunkers and manicured greens of today's courses. I don't know why there's such hate for Tiger.

FIFY

I like the part where you pose the question then answer it yet are still none the wiser.

I respect Tiger's skill, or at least the skill that he once possessed. However, his days of dominance are over. Besides the obvious issues, the competition has gotten a lot better over the last couple of years. Tiger's dominance, while impressive, came at a time when the field of competition was weak.

That being said, Fuck Tiger. As stated earlier, Jack is a Buckeye; that is all I need. The rest is just icing on the cake.

I was at the 86 Masters when Jack won it his last time with his son caddying. That Sunday was the most exciting and best sporting event I've ever personally attended, and that includes the three Gator National Championships.

And for that, I'm a big fan of Jack. Gator came running to his defense though, which made it a little harder to resist. For some perspective, I am a 19 year old guy who got into golf mostly BECAUSE of Tigger as I suspect many golfers of my generation are like.

That being said:
Go Bucks, Go Dotter-of-the-I

Thanks, I was sarcastically pointing out that nearly every golfer in history gets frustrated and curses, throws a club, slams a club, whatever. For anyone to dislike him over that is a clown.
