I'm certain that hitting a root with as much speed and torque as these guys generate is quite painful, but there is little doubt that he is playing it up. As nick Faldo stated, he could get a trainer to look at him if it was as bad as he's making it appear.

I'm not watching so I don't know if he is "faking" or not, but: as someone who was laid up in the bed for 3-months with back problems when I was 35-yrs old, that was how I walked around when I had to go piss or eat (which were pretty much the only times I crawled out of bed)...

Tiger goes thru injuries and a gets caught getting his carrot wet is every Waffle House across the country- and suddenly he is a mental case.

Tiger is the 2nd greatest golfer to ever play. Period. He had an awesome run-but he will never break Jack's record.

longevity is Jack's only advantage over Tiger. nobody comes close to Tiger's 10 yr run. Tiger did in 10 yrs almost what Jack did in 20. Jack never finished less than 3rd on the money list for 20 straight years. that is something nobody will ever do IMO. I also don't buy into the competition being less these days than the older days. I think the competition is overall better today than it was during Jack's tenure. I also think it is better today than when Tiger started his Ruthian run. I think that may be the reason he doesn't reach that 18th major. gonna be fun to watch and see.

Jack has said himself that the reason Tiger probably wouldn't catch his major record was bc the field is now full of Tigers.

Tiger's the best golfer ever. And I love Jack.

Technology, weight training, etc has the new generation way ahead. That's not a knock on Jack and that field...it's just a different game now. Longer courses are another thing people don't factor in. Anyone saying Jack was better is kidding themselves. Surplant Tiger in Jacks era and he makes them look silly.

We'll just have to disagree there. Tiger didnt win majors any faster than Jack. Jack finished 2nd in the US Open behind Palmer as an amateur- with Palmer having to shoot a 65 on Sunday to beat him. I do think the tour is very tough now- but I think there was certainly a lull when Tiger first began- and the info shows it with scoring. Just as Tiger never coming from behind to win a major- thats not greatness. Life was great as a frontrunner- but when he was has to battle? He is no better than anybody else.

And of course- no more HGH

Tiger won his 14 2 yrs faster than Jack but what the hell. pretty equal there. but the fact that tiger won one less tourney championship in 10 years than jack did in 20 speaks volumes. I still think you are right though, it's gonna be tough, based on the modern day field, for tiger to get 4 more majors.

I don't have the numbers in front of me, but id be willing to bet there were way more tournaments being played in the 10 years that Tiger won them, than there were when Jack was playing. I am pretty sure Jack wasn't ever running off to Dubai to play against a shitty field.

He's not going to make another run I don't think, but he is in position to win another major I think. I think the only question is whether he can handle the pressure now that his opportunities to win majors are infrequent. I could definitely see him pressing too hard now that there's no guarantee that another chance is just around the corner.

Tiger only needs to straighten out his driver and he'll be winning again. If you paid attention to how he played you'd see this. Fixing his tee game is the easiest of all corrections. They thought he'd struggle chipping it but he didn't and his putting is solid as normal. Irons also solid. He corrects his tee box and he'll be same ol Tiger again.

The Tour is drastically deeper in 2015 than in 1965. It's not even an argument. There's several lower tier USA tours nowadays and European, Asian, South African, Australian, Central American and South American golf is light years ahead of where it was in 1965. Some of those areas/countries didn't have one single pro golfer back then. To say golf was better in 1965 is like saying cell phones were better in 1965.

Tiger has never had an accurate driver though. Usually not as bad as he was this past weekend (I don't think he hit a fairway until 8 or 9 on Sunday), but he's always been distinctly below average in that aspect. He compensated before with length and excellent recovery shots. It was the miraculous recovery shots that had gone away after the incident and re-merged this past weekend with something nearing consistency. Work on driver accuracy would obviously help, but it's not like it's a part of his game that is suffering compared to his prime.

In 2002 Tiger hit 67.5% of fairways. So far in 2015 he's hit 51.2%. Because of his poor driving he's only hitting 59% of greens when he used to hit over 73%. His driving is way less accurate. He is averaging 309 yards a drive compared to 293 yards in 2002. He's hitting it farther it's just not straighter. Tiger is one club away from being back.

Yeah, I looked at the numbers myself and he wasn't as far off the average as I thought, and he has definitely fallen off in the past 5-6 years. Still, I feel like he's always tended to miss worse than most when he doesn't hit the fairway, and the recovery shots are a major strength of his game that are just now coming back.

Jack won his last major at the age of 46 after competing on a very restricted schedule the last several years prior to that win ... the question is will Tiger fill the role of the past greats with class and dignity that the older generation has done ... to attain Jacks level of greatness requires more than just winning ....... I have yet to see that "class" from Tiger

There's not enough rounds to judge correctly for Tiger in 2015. He's been hurt. 2014 is a wash. The last full year is 2013 and he finished #1 in the World rankings that year and #1 on the money list. His sand saves this year are way down though which gives credence to what you're saying. He isn't scrambling as well. To me that's just because he's been hurt and saving pars is a touch thing that can only be obtained by playing a lot. Tiger just needs to stay healthy, play a bunch and straighten out his driver. The mental part is an embarrassment issue imo. Tiger needs to embrace Evil Tiger and quit trying to lie to the world and himself. Be Evil Tiger.

To put it in perspective, to break jack's record, tiger has to win from now on, after his prime, as many majors as mickleson has won in his entire career. It's just not happening. Without the injuries and getting popped w the 9 iron, I think he would have gotten it w ease. But as it stands, it's going to be unbelievably hard. Jus don't see it.

Tiger was a gamechanger for the Tour and it took 10 years for the him to get off the HGH and the others to buy into the weight training. Now you have the older guys phased out, the guys his age bought in to weight training, and the younger guys in pristine shape. That wasnt how golf was before Tiger. And that is why so many of them wilted under pressure for so many years. There really werent any great golfers when he came along- just a few very good ones. It's different now.

I think he can win a couple more. But he has to learn to do something he has never done before- come from behind.

The HGH shit you're accusing him of is total bullshit. He's averaging 309 yards right now. In 2002 it was 293 yards. Tiger has only four majors to Jack. He's 38. Tiger will prepare every year for these majors specifically. That puts him at 50 being the cutoff any chance to win. That's 48 majors left to win 4. He'll get that done.

Let's be real: steroids would help a golfer, but not a fraction as much as a baseball player. They'd help your tee shot on par 5's and many par 4's, and that's about it. A baseball power hitter's job is practically done once he completes the portion of it the steroids help with, while a golfer's is just starting. All that being said, it's hard to completely dismiss all the little pieces of evidence, circumstantial or otherwise, that suggest Tiger was a user for part of his career.

If you're hitting a nine iron instead of a seven or a PW instead of an 8 then it helps a lot.

HGH also helps you recover quicker, each round is approx 5 miles so walking 20 miles each tournament on this stuff is a major help even for the 30 yr olds.

I may be wrong, but I don't think extra strength/club speed would have a significant impact on that part of the game. There are so many other factors both in the golfer's control and not that come into play when you're getting closer to the green and transitioning into more of a finesse approach compared to a tee shot that I don't think the ability to hit a particular iron or wedge 20-25 yards further than average under standardized conditions is going to universally help you. I'm even reluctant to say that it would universally help long irons or fairway woods on a par 5 second shot. Again, I may be wrong, but it seems to me that the only shot more strength would always help in any situation would be your drive.

You've got a point about the endurance aspect; I hadn't thought about that.

HGH would help with recovery but Tiger is hitting the ball longer than ever. His workout routine is well documented. He's always been a gym rat and he's always been ripped. Accusing him of steroid use is weak ass shit by the Jack homos in the crowd. Once Evil Tiger returns he's going to shit all over the Golden Bear's record. Guess we'll just keep arguing for the next two decades.

Zach Johnson is hitting it farther than then too. Are you dismissing technology? He's not used 3 wood much- like he did 2-3 years ago which are included in those stats. He will, because he can't put a driver in play.

Technology improves accuracy too right? Yet he's missing a lot more fairways and greens than "HGH" Tiger and still averaging 16 more yards a drive than he was in 2002. I can buy that HGH improves recovery time and stamina and even can help with mental fatigue and focus potentially but I don't buy for a second that it makes a golfer hit the ball longer or straighter.

Pitchers used PED's also. Stamina and Recovery. Huge parts of golf

I agree hgh won't help you hit it one inch straighter. We can agree w that. I would disagree that it wouldn't improve club head speed. Assuming one wasn't too bulky. Which tiger did get. The biggest difference is he's been hurt for 7 years. I'd live to chalk all this up to coincidence, but I can't. And I'm not sure when it began. Who knows. Whether or not he did hgh or not, didn't make him great at 21 and never made a putt or chip for him. So, I'm clearly not blaming his greatness on hgh or any other thing. But fact is he hadn't won one major in the time fram of drug testi. That's a fact. As I said before, one would be crazy to say he won't win more, but I can't see him breaking the record.

Imagine the world finding out you're some weird sex freak that bangs Huddle House waitresses on the regular. Then imagine you have to play golf in front of them on tv and in person. In a sport that already requires the highest muscle memory precision and focus of all I can understand how an even slightly distracted golfer can struggle let alone one that's made himself fully embarrassed to the core. Tiger's struggles are mental and physical (injured). When people joke that Tiger hasn't been right since Elin ****ed him up it is the truth actually not just a joke. Dude did a press conference to address the world and say he was sorry for being a sex freak. He checked himself into a sex rehab facility in Hattiesburg, MS for a month! Then he's going to try to slide back into the same group of elitist pricks of the highest level in society. Uh no they aren't letting him back in. Only one way out of this self-made prison for Tiger. Become Evil Tiger. Haha
