Obviously its not a exact science, the rankings, especially how close they are, but I would make alot of bets on alot of Golfers over Tiger, especially with better odds. I don't make wagers offsite with anyone. Got screwed out of $200 on a USC-Penn St Rose Bowl 3 years ago. Why don't you just bet Tiger to win the Open at any sportsbook you have ?
Not enough value on betting tiger. I'd rather bet the Jason days of the world and hope I get lucky someday.
Hey, on a serious note. I use a local that has a website and everything. They had live betting on the masters, but said as far as he knew, they wouldn't have it for the players champ. You know any offshores that do live betting for the players champ? I've never used offshore so don't know if it would even be worth my time. Local is so much easier than depositing and waiting on a check, but I like the live betting

This is a very very good statement and it can be said the same for Tiger. The game of golf at any competitive level is 15% physical and 85% mental. The difference in talent at the professional level is very very small. Everyone of these guys on tour have the talent to shoot great scores and win tournaments. But how many have the mental game to withstand the pressure week in and week out to win at this level? I have seen and played with guys who have similar talents as the guys on tour, but they don't have the mental game to even compete let alone win at this level. Tiger's problems right now have nothing to do with talent or ability. Talent wise he is still as good as he has ever been. His troubles are totally in his head and that is something he will eventually work out. When he does, he will start winning again.
i agree tiger has some mental issues right now....he's ashamed, emberrassed in front of the whole world etc...i dont think tiger is a bad guy. i think he just got caught up living in fantasy world and it came crashing down. he is going through a swing change, so its not just mental stuff.
as far as the golfers being equal. i agree they are close, but the best players are a step above the field with their wedges and on and around the greens. there is no doubt there is a diff in the short games of the top golfers. also the best players can scramble like no other. look up all the stats you want, but nobody scrambles as good as tiger.

I think Tiger needs to go see a 'doctor' for his knee again for some 'treatment'...just not this guy.

"many swing changes"?? this is his 3rd one. trust me, i'm as big of a tiger fan as there is, i'm not bashing him. he has gone through droughts where he didnt win tournys when he changed his swing the other two times, not as big of a drought as this one though. which is why i agree he has some head probs right now, wouldnt you have some head problems if you were one of the 5 most influential individuals in the world and out of nowhere had everything bad you've ever done get thrown out to the wolves of the world?
as far as the swing changes in his career go, when he switched from harmon to haney, it wasnt even close to being as drastic as a swing change as it is with foley. personally, i think he is getting the foley swing down, nobody hit the ball as good as he did at the masters or doral. his short game was lacking at those tournaments, which is hard to believe because he is the greatest short game player golf has ever seen.
once he is in contention in tournys, i dont think his mental game is the problem as we saw on sunday at augusta. its getting into contention that is the prob, which is what we saw on saturday at augusta. he lost the masters on saturday. its alot harder to go out and post a number an hour before the leaders finish than it is to see #'s posted and play to that number.
your on crack and know absolutely zero about golf if you think the swing change has nothing to do with his winless drought. we've been through this before where people start bashing him for not winning, then he gets his shit together and everybody that was bashing hides. i doubt he ever completely dominates golf like he used to, but i have no reason to believe he doesnt break jack's record and regain his unquestionable #1 ranking.
who's #1 this week? westwood........wtf has he ever done in his career. how many majors has he won. show me some resumes of golfers that compare to woods and maybe i'll change my mind. i'll be waiting for some resumes
