There now have been 20 golf majors in a row that Tiger Woods hasn't won.

*Tiger's life was golf.
*Then all he did was win.
*Then he signed with Nike and made hundreds of millions.
*Married a beautiful woman and had a couple kids
*He is a famous young guy with more money than he can spend and wasn't getting it at home but hundreds of girls wanted to suck his cock. He's only human and gave into temptation as anyone in his shoes would have. Realizing he can never spend the money he has, Tiger doesn't care about all the records like many want him to. He was to get laid and enjoy life. Good for him. He will win a couple more maybe but he doesn't give a fuck.

I could be wrong but that is my take.

Besides, Wasnt it more his wrist that was hurting? I never saw him favor the elbow, just saw him shake his hand

I thought it was his hand too. But the more they showed it on TV, the more it reminded me of my elbow injuries. Also just for the record, I don't know if I've ever stated my opinion on Jack and Tiger. I've seen plenty of both golfers, and Tiger during that 7 or 8 year period in the late 90's early 2000's was by far the best golfer that I've ever seen. So it's hard for me to compare their careers since one of them was a long career, and Tiger has already seen his better days. But it's hard to compare golfers by Majors. Bobby Jones was the most dominate golfer of all time. But he quit when he was still young, so we'll never know how many majors he would have won. But my guess is he would have won more Majors than Tiger and Jack combined. And who knows how he would have stacked up against today's golfers with much better equipment in his hands.

I bet TIger wins at least 1 of the next 4 majors.

I will give a reputable poster even odds if they are interested.

I agree with everything here except for one thing. He does care about 1 record and that's Jack's record of major wins. He definitely wants that record but his chances of getting it are beginning to fade.

agreed but I don't think he obsessed with it now whereas it seemed he was just a year or two ago.

It's very difficult to compare different eras in any sport, golf included. I also saw Jack play plenty of times both in person and on TV and I agree that Tiger during his dominant years in late 90's and early 2000's was better than Jack ever was. But considering their overall careers, Id have to give a slight edge right now to Jack based solely on his Major performances. No doubt they are the 2 best golfers I've ever seen in my lifetime and everyone else is pretty far behind them.

I think the obsession is still there, but the longer he goes without a major win, the less he shows it. The confidence he had years ago is no longer there and that's more because everyone else has become much better and he just isn't as dominant anymore because of it. He i still the best player on tour, but the distance between him and the others is dwindling every year...

It could be tennis elbow, I have no clue. I hope it is not because just the name "tennis elbow" sounds like a nagging nerve type injury. Then again, if isnt that it could be something that he will have to deal with the next two majors cause I don't see him sitting out the Brittish or PGA. I see he is 7/1 at Muirfield. Anybody know anything about the PGA champ course this year? I don't even know where they are playing, about to look it up though

And everybody plays like Phil does now. In other words, everybody is going for the flag on every damn shot. So when somebody is having one of "those weeks" they are tough to beat. It's reckless golf, they may miss 10 cuts in a row and not give a damn but the next week they can show up and win if the ball bounces right. Does that make sense?

Yea, I think I know what you trying to say. Basically, what many of us have said on here. There is much more competition now than there was 10-15 years ago. 10 years ago, Tiger only had to worry about 10 or so players each week that had a chance to beat him. Now, he has almost the entire field to worry about when he tees it up. That's what happens when you when you are the best at you sport, everyone comes gunning for you. Tiger's success definitely made the game better and more competitive than it ever was.

Yea, but I'm saying these guys are all taking on every flag now. They shoot for everything. Like Fowler, Mickelson, Bubba I could go on. I agree the fields are deeper also but now a guy can miss a cut one week while playing good and maybe had 2 water balls or something, and win the next..........they fire at everything, not so much a thinking mans game these days. More see ball, hit ball at flag

I disagree with you if that's what you are trying to say. Firing at flags every week will not win you tournaments. Tournaments are won by playing smart. This game is 15% physical(talent) and 85% mental. There is very little difference talent wise on the PGA tour. These guys can all hit the ball as good as the next guy. They would not be on tour if they couldn't. The difference between the guys who win the ones who don't is because they play a better mental game. Tiger does not have the mental game now that he had 10 years ago.

They all play like Phil now. Not so much at a course like Merion, but week in week out, they fire at everything. Been like that for a couple years now

 

[taylor13]

That why I say one week they will miss the cut, and the next week it they win. It's reckless golf

Not sure what golf you are watching, but I don't see it that way. But you are entitled to your opinion.

Same stuff you see

This past week was actually the most conservative that I've ever seen Phil play. And he still lost. There's always 3 or 4 of these young studs standing in their way that makes it much harder to win a major. In this case it was Rose, Day, Mahan, Herschel etc. Almost totally different than the last Major. And it will probably be a different group of young studs to make their way through to win the British Open. The Field has essentially caught up with Phil and Tiger. Which means either of them will probably need a little luck and breaks go their way to win another major.

I don't agree wit this statement..nobody plays like Phil or takes the chances.. Look at the recent major winners.. just damn good players in Scott, Rose,McDowell,Oozie, Simpson, Bradley... these guys don't miss cuts for the most part.. sure there are flukes like Breem etc, but those are the exception... over the last 5 years do you really see Tiger as where he was in majors ? I don't at all

agree with this statement, Taylor is just making excuses... Tiger wasn't sniffing the leaderboard this week no matter how anyone else was playing

I'll take that bet....
