I think if Tiger is going to win at all this year, it is more than likely going to be in Atlanta at the PGA Championship. I believe he'll have his game together better in August than he will in June. Right now he's having trouble putting 4 good rounds together. I think he just needs more tournaments to play in so he can get into the flow. I think his chances of winning a major go way up if he can win a minor tournament first.

I agree with ya on if he wins a minor tourn first, chances on major go up. It would just give him that little edge back. You have to be cocky, conceeded, and confident to be a good golfer, even at the amateur level imo. I think a win would give him some of that back. He has to say and act all politicly correct right now for his image, I think he needs that I'm a bad ass attitude back and quit acting like the man with boobs Phil mickelson.

If he is gonna break jacks record, jack says this year is very important. If tiger feels the same way, he will win one this year.

In my opinion, nobody hit the ball better than tiger at Augusta, nobody...he didn't make putts I know. But as I've said before, I think the greatest short game player ever will get the putts to start falling.

The game of golf better hope they start falling, I can tell you that

I would make a max wager that I could break 100 from the tips with a local caddy at augusta. I'm a 8 handicap, pretty sure I could there with local knowledge. I doubt I could at a U.S. open layout like Oakmont, with those narrow fairways and ridiculous rough, but I'm pretty confident I could at augusta. If you will, please set this up, and I will make the wager with you. I'd be willing to bet you $5k that I break 100 and if i break 100, you dont have to pay. Only way money is exchanged is if i shoot 100 or more i pay you, since you will be setting this up for me.

Who did you caddy for?

Wish I could....I do have a lot of contacts, but not many that could get me on the course....

I caddied on the Women's Tour between 1973-76 during the summer months....Caddied in the US Open for Donna Caponi Young at Atlantic City Country Club in New Jersey...she finished pretty well and made 175 bucks (10%) purses were shit during those days...

The game of golf will be just fine. Golf survived the loss of Palmer, Trevino, Nicklaus to name just a few. Basketball had their magic, bird, Jordan to name just a few. Football had Montana, Sayers, Brown, to name just a few. Baseball had Ruth, Mantle, Mays, Williams. To tell you the truth I don't really like
Tiger's disposition on or off the golf course so Bye, Bye Tiger !

In the last 5 majors played Tiger is the only golfer with 3 top 5 finishes. No one else has 3 ... Tiger is the best majors player over the past year 2010-2011. Just happens one dick head shoots out of his ass each major.


That sounds pretty competitive to me.

He will be the odds on fav to win every major he plays in NOW and for the next few years. Few being 3 - I'd say 10 years personally next 40 majors he plays in.

I would take that wager any day of the week. Next couple of years that will change. You just don't keep being the favorite while not winning !

Maybe. But he is has better chance than anyone else to win. And if I'm wrong, correct me, but isn't the us open this year at congressional? If so, he loves that course and he has won there. Hell that's where he host his tournament up until last year they had to move it. I may be wrong about the us open being there, but I dnt think so

Tiger has loved alot fo the courses over the last couple of years, doesn't matter if you can't putt ! Or drive the ball straight in a Open fairway

your right red eye....tiger doesnt have a chance to win any majors anymore...he is a terrible golfer...prob the worst to ever play....they just gave him all those other major trophies...since he changed his swing he should win every tourn he plays in immediately after the swing change if he is ever going to win again...the guy sucks red eye

are you people really this fucking stupid? do you people really think the guy sucks if he doesnt win every tourn he enters? jesus.
red eye, if you dont mind me asking, who is your fav golfer? my guess is your a soft phil m fan?

Nobody said he sucks Taylor, Just isn't as good as he use to be. His body isn't holding up, he doesn't, putt very well anymore, and he loses his swing from time to time on key shots.I think he has a decent shot at another major or two. But not yet. Taylor he doesn't suck because he doesn't win every tournament he plays, he just doesn't win at all anymore. He's still good, but not great.

Yes Phil is my favorite Golfer. Your favorite golfer doesn't have to be the best golfer out there either. I'm not the only fan of his either, check the galleries. I don't need to give you a reason more then last year. Phil has that great scene winning the Masters for his wife, while Tiger flushes his family down the toilet. Phil acts with more integrity then Tiger so I live with his occasional tank jobs. Phil also carries a great guy in Bones on his bag. Who does Tiger have, Stevie Williams which matches Tigers asshole attitude on the course.I don't like cheap tippers either, Tiger is #1 with being cheap to the regular guy. Still respect what he has done, but don't have to like the guy either. I'm sure you have some meaningless reason why nobody should be a fan of Michelson's. I'm sure its ground shaking.

I realize Phil is a "good guy", at least thats the perception he has me believing, no telling how these guys really are. My only prob with Phil as far as being a very athlete, is he has absolutely zero killer instinct. Tiger (when playing good), will stick a knife in you, and then pull your guts out. Same thing with guys like Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan etc....Phil on the other hand will stick a knife in you, but then he will pull it out and apologize for doing it.

Bones is good on the bag, and its cool they have a good relationship. But stevie is no slouch, and he has a better golfer hitting the clubs he is carrying, and rarely needs to give his input.

Like I said, I realize Phil is not the best golfer out there, He's on the short list though. I root for him because I like him and his shot making imagination is off the charts. I'm sure Williams is great on the bag, no doubt. But his act on the course with the galleries has been pretty poor.

I followed Mickelson around when he played at Southern Hills in Tulsa back in the 90's before Tiger had really hit the golf world. And out of all of the golfers that I've seen, Phil was by far the best ball striker, shaper of the ball than anybody I had seen to that point. Phil's problem isn't talent. It's been in his head. He's choked at some bad times, and taken too many chances at others. He is a golfer who if he was a little more disciplined, probably would have had close to 10 majors titles by now.

Who is the best golfer ?????


Tiger easily....



It's like picking a card out of 100 and 20 have tigers name on them and 80 have dickheads names on them Tiger will probably lose,. Sometimes he will win 4 in a row --- But he will always be the favorite individually. But will probably lose.

Tiger better win something in the next couple of years or else he could wind up being the Joker in the deck.

Def on the short list. Look, they can put whoever they want at #1 in the world every week with their computers. Bottom line is tiger is the best golfer in the world, and Phil and Westwood are tied for 2nd.
Their isn't the big gap anymore, but those are the best golfers in the world.

Also since Yall are Phil fans, I dnt know if Yall like randel chamblee or not, but I respect what he says. After the masters, he said he thinks phils arthritis or whatever it is, is worse than people realize. He says they constantly have to change his meds etc....if that's true, I do feel bad for mickelson

Man, that was very, very well put. Totally agree with you.

Arthritis is a real problem for people who have it at a young age. I've got it in my hands pretty bad. And I started taking arthritis drugs a couple of years ago and the problem pretty much went away. But in the last few months I've started feeling it creeping back. Especially in the mornings before I play golf and am warming up. And on colder days it's just about impossible for me to play. So I've become strictly a fair weather golfer. I know I'm going to have to go to the doctor soon to get a change in prescription or else a stronger dose. So I can feel where he's coming from. I doubt he'll ever make it to the Senior circuit with his condition.
