inferior competition?.........lol wow...tiger has 40-50 guys that can realistically win each week to beat........jack had maybe 15-20......and jack even said this.......the only thing that keeps tigers competition close is the equipment....if it was pro staff irons and persimmon head drivers woods and love would be squaring off every week.......you have actually made the argument why tiger is most likely number one over jack .......
I can see Tiger being connected with that DR. who was caugght with the PEDs. Remember when Tiger began to bulk up out of nowhere? I remember watching the major he was in and the announcers saying "Wow, Looks like Tiger spent most of the offseason in the gym, Look at those biceps!" And im the biggest Tigger fan, but these are serious questions that I doubt ill ever have an answer to.
he went from a real skinny kid to a nfl linebacker pretty damn quick.
i know he works out hard , but come on...
having said that , do steroids really help your golf game ? he was already hitting it 330 .
do steroids help you drain 20 footer after 20 footer ?
i cant think of one way steroids would help anybodys golf game. and i am a 0 handicap . shot 69 monday .

He will most certainly not lose custody of his children. You can be sure he (and likely she) will agree to share joint custody - with the children living primarily with Elin.
As to the Thread topic, it would seem the smartest thing he could do is to get the divorce resolved as smoothly and as amicably as possible. He can continue to work out and golf in preparation for a return to the PGA Tour this coming spring.
Great article about Woods juicing
By Bill Plashke of LA TIMES
Two years ago, after following Tiger Woods down the fairway for a couple of days at the U.S Open at Oakmont, I confided to friends an observation that seemed too absurd for public consumption.
From the back, the dude looked like Barry Bonds.
His neck was oddly wide. His shoulders were absurdly broad. His biceps were busting out of a tight shirt.
For the first time, he wasn't just better than everyone else, he was also bigger. He looked not like a technician lining up a tee shot, but a slugger getting loose for batting practice.
He looked weird. He looked stuffed. He looked dirty.
I confided it, but never wrote it, because who would believe it?
Tiger Woods in the same sentence as the most infamous (alleged) steroid user? He was too smart, too scripted, too careful.
Thought so, anyway.
Now I wonder.
The New York Times report this week that links Woods with a doctor who promotes human growth hormone would have been silly two months ago but makes scary sense today.
If a guy is a chronic cheater off the course, what kind of leap is required to believe he could be the same sort of cheater on the course?
That distance is now a mere hop and skip after the newspaper reported that Dr. Anthony Galea is under a joint U.S.-Canadian investigation for providing athletes with performance-enhancing drugs.
One of the athletes who has rehabilitated under Galea's care is Woods, who allegedly was visited at least four times by the doctor in Woods' Orlando, Fla., home.
During those times, Woods' agent claimed the golfer received nothing more than Galea's groundbreaking platelet-rich plasma therapy for his reconstructed knee.
"The treatment Tiger received is a widely accepted therapy, and to suggest some connection with illegality is recklessly irresponsible," Mark Steinberg wrote in an e-mail to the Associated Press.
You know what's really recklessly irresponsible? Dealing with a doctor who has a history of using and prescribing the banned HGH substance, that's what.
All the healers in the world, the best money can buy, and Woods chooses an eccentric 50-year-old HGH peddler who not only prescribes it to older patients, but says he injects himself five days a week to keep up with a wife who, he says, is 22 years younger?
"If the body is healthy, then your mind and intellect are free to study, to feed your spirit," Galea told the New York Times in an interview.
Woods has been feeding his spirit quite enough, thank you.
In past cases, from Olympians to major leaguers, nearly anyone involved with a steroid salesman is eventually found to have been using steroids. Yet while the PGA Tour tests for performance-enhancing drugs, no sporting organization has found an acceptable noninvasive test for HGH.

Problem is that he talking about Tiger two years and ago but his first interactions with this doctor was just this year. Don't really see the connection, not there anyway. Anything's possible, I suppose, but this "connection" is no evidence and Tiger was one of the more outspoken on the tour in favor of testing.
Tiger did get a little bigger but I don't agree with the characterization that he was or is huge or busting out or anything. No other obvious bodily reactions to steroids either. I'm not buying it, and I'm not even clear how it would have helped him, and besides was already #1 for a long time.
Not buying this whole angle at all.

Tiger Woods gets more play than 9/11 in the New York Post
That newspaper there above is the front cover of today's New York Post. Check it out -- no, not the hacky pun making light of tragedy, the Tiger Woods story. It teases a story that's as "routine" as a Tiger story is these days -- according to the Post, he's sitting at home, alone, watching cartoons and eating cereal.
But that's not the significant part of the cover. The significant part is the fact that this is the 20th straight cover with Tiger Woods on it. That breaks the Post's previous record for consecutive cover appearances, a record held by the September 11 tragedies.
Think about that for a second. The Post has gotten more run out of a golfer's misadventures than out of one of the biggest tragedies in our nation's history.
Without dwelling too deeply on the disconnect between Woods and 9/11 -- because that'll turn your stomach if you do -- it's fairly easy to see why Tiger has remained in our public consciousness for so many weeks. Valleywag makes an interesting contention that Tiger is the first-ever Internet-size scandal.
In other words, the Tiger story can slot comfortably into every section of the newspaper. And unlike other national scandals, there's nobody dead. This hasn't impacted the governance of our nation. The only people truly harmed by this are the mega-wealthy, and a good chunk of non-mega-wealthy Americans don't have a problem with that. So we can all read and joke about Woods without any queasiness whatsoever, and we can go on with our lives afterward.
As the Woods story rolls on, the only really disturbing aspect left remaining is what kind of scandal could possibly top this. Because someday, next year or next decade, something will.
Oh, and for your reference, the fine folks over at With Leather compiled all the TW covers in the post over the last month, up till yesterday. Kinda disturbing, yes?

Tiger Woods' apparently voracious sexual appetite created a scandal big enough to truly feed, and even sate, the ever-hungry Web. It's been an uninhibited bacchanal of mistress galleries, trashy YouTube embeds and gossip scooplets. So if the Tiger Woods coverage leaves you feeling exhausted, it's because the celebrity sausage factory has been running at an obscenely and unprecedentedly fast tilt.
It's a reasonable theory, but I'd add that it's not just the celebrity side of the story that's driving this. The Woods scandal doesn't just have its seamy side -- it's got financial (endorsements, monetary impact on the Tour), sports (how will this affect Tiger's quest for more majors?), racial and lifestyle ("Ladies, is your man cheating like Tiger?") components as well.
