and there it is, Tigger is hurt...
I knew he'd pull up lame if he played bad. He's humped over and limping up 9 like a 90 year old.
-
Yep. Who knew golf was such a physical sport.
-
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)...
-
You kids are being ridiculous. A chunk of wood flew up on that swing. He absolutely smashed a root and that shit is painful. No need to throw rocks at him because of it.

Did Eldrick "hit a root" a few years ago? ...and walk around like he was in a/violent car wreck? The dude is a drsms queen and has to come up with excuses for losing because his ego can't handle losing.

So, he claimed a bone popped out and he placed it back. The announcers know he is full of shit and I'm not just talking about this instance.

Why are you all so mad at the guy? Does it really matter? Spieth won this on day 1

Do I not look like a pothouse? Six foot down the bar. Go on, jog on, walk on, goodbye, bon voyage, **** off.

The ex took care of his golf game when she wrapped that pitching wedge around his head. Once he got publicly shamed in that scandal he was done for. Much like John Rocker after that interview with the SI reporter.

Jack went thru injuries- put it back together and kept on trucking
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.

Jesus, that was funny. The guy interviewing him (forgot his name) just paused and said "really?" And in that "you're full of shit" tone, not the "that's very interesting" tone.

Yeah, he just said out loud what everyone was thinking. Perhaps he really did pop a bone back in place, but Tiger is not the most believable person in the world.

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.

Bobby Jones retired as an amateur at 28, and won the Grand Slam in a year's time.
His swing was better than Tiger's. And he used inferior equipment.

Bingo.
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

if you ever want to see the prettiest swing in golf history, go look at clips of the swing of Bobby Jones. with the equipment they had back then, that swing was imperative for the scores that guy put up.
