Tiger Woods (2 Viewers)

[Otis]

My favorite crow thread running.

Update?How many majors has Tiger won since this thread was started?

Total chokefest for Woods today. Shot himself out of the tournament.

The truth doesn't fly in this thread brah. Similar to last time, Otis and the select few in here will disappear for a few months until Tiger wins again, and then say the rest of us were dead wrong! My prediction of two wins and no majors appears to still be safe, most likely. Of course that won't be mentioned until Tiger wins again.

Kind of how you and zoo and others were missing for the first 2 days of the tournament only to show up now?

Of course they did. The reality is that Rory, Phil and all the other "top" players in the world aren't even around today to compete. Tiger had one rough day on a hard course after two great days, and he is still in contention here.

BT FIN WUZ RIGHT SEE HE MADE A BAD CHIP ON 18!1

I lovbe how you keep blowing loads all over the place whenever Woods has a good round. Calling out Finless and acting like three years of him being correct will suddenly make him, and all the detractors, wrong. You make such a fool of yourself. But keep doing it. Your humiliation is a great source of comedy for everyone else.

All you do is make yourself look like more of an ### everytime you blow your wad when Woods wins a match. Read post number one of this thread. Woods was the most dominant golfer in the sport's history. Finless predicted his downfall. The statement was also made that he will not break Nicklaus' record, which at one time looked like a lead pipe lock.Are you denying that Finless was correct and took an unprecedented plunge? Did Finless or I or anyone else claim he'd never win another tournament? What is your point when you come here after any win (or anytime he's even leading a tournament) with a raging hardon? Does that erase his meteoric plummet from his perch? Does it get him any closer to JAck's record? Or are you really just a fourteen year old posting from your mommy's computer?

Wins a match? It called a tournament. Do you call where they play a "golf field" too? I think you dropped your Wal-Mart scoring watch and "tri-chipper" back there Chi Chi.

Oh my, with that kind of reply, I can only assume that the previous post was spot on.

This thread was founded on bad assumptions, so that wouldn't be out of place here.

Bo Van Wilder and Brandon de Beers are no slouches.....good win

 

[mr. furley]

He's done. He'll be competitive but he lost the fear factor.

#1 in the world strikes me as decidedly not done, and just a smidgen more than "competitive."

guy's barely a club pro

Can't you tell? He's in control.

 

[flapgreen]

Already exceeded what I thought he would do this year. I'm a little intrigued.

 

[zoonation]

After the massive choke at the US Open, i think it is safe to let this thread ride for a while. Just to read Otis' stupid posts, if for no other reason.

The fact remains the guy needs to resume the major chase. His swing has folded in the majors this year.

He is clearly playing as good or betterthan anyone else right now, but to call him dominant in light of his two epic folds in the majors is laughable.

The prediction holds, for now. A win at the AT&T does nothing to change that.

 

[Hooper31]

Looking into this thread from time to time is like looking at a car wreck as you pass by, but this wreck keeps happening over and over again each weekend right in front of your house. I think Jim Nance put it best today.

How about Tiger Woods coming back off of Olympic Club and the weekend there? Again, everybody's trying to make a fast conclusion. He's back! Or, he's not back! Or, he'll never be back! Why can't people just let it play out and quit trying to be the first one to make some great proclamation and say: 'See, I told ya!

People arguing both sides of this are tools, particularly the idiot that started the thread. He's done? That's the sort of generic meaningless statement that he gets to defend no matter what happens. Woods could still win several majors and he would defend his statement. Again, bunch of tools.

 

[tommyboy]

Baby steps...

#1 in the PGA is a "baby step"?

Until he wins another major, the critics will not be put to rest.P.S. I'm a Tiger supporter. Just realistic.

So for sake of argument lets say he wins 30 more tour events the next 14 yrs. But no majors...

Other than your clever catch of a misused term, do you have anything else to say that proves anything I said was incorrect? Or is it easier to just ignore a post that makes you and Otis seem like moronic trolls?

[mr roboto]

Oh, just looked at the rankings. Tiger has 40 events in the rankings to calculate his 4th best in the world. Westie has 46, everyone else is at 48 or higher. So he's ranking with way less data points. Kinda like a RB who got the starting job week 3 and just because he doesn't have the same total yards, but higher ppg, he's suddenly not as good as the guy who has played more games.

 

[[icon]]

As many wins as Phil, Rory, and Bubba Combined thus far this year.

 

[BobbyLayne]

It's a major championship venue. I think he will win at least one more. Not sure if he will catch Jack. Looking forward to seeing him in my home state next week for the first time.

Very cool - you going to the tournament?First time Tiger has played the Greenbrier Classic - helps they got a better date this year.

Sure he can. That's what makes a troll a troll. Look in a mirror and you'll perhaps have a better understanding.

3 wins in 7 starts, 2 of the last 3. Of course when he wins a major, the naysayers will be chirping "He still hasn't caught Jack, and probably won't since he's 35 36"

 

[identikit]

Saw this stat on twitter today (via @timcusickgolf):

@TigerWoods has won 27% of all PGA TOUR events he's played in. Nicklaus won 12%, Palmer 8%, Mickelson 8% & Singh 7%.

Don't know if it's accurate or not, but if so WOW.

Don't know if it's accurate or not, but if so WOW.

Accurate - not quite, unless they parsing it somehow. The stats on his bio page of PGATOUR.COM put it a little lower.Apples to apples? Not at all, really.

Nicklaus has 594 career starts (PGA Tour only - not counting Champions Tour). Woods has 285 career starts.

Nicklaus was 0-126 between winning the 1986 Masters and his last year of playing the Majors, 2005, when he was 65 years old.

From 1962 to 1978 Jack won at least two events every year for 17 straight seasons. He had no wins in 1979, won two majors in 1980, and then had one or zero wins in each of the next 6 years. In all, from 1979 to the end of 1986, he was 5-125. That makes him 5-251 over his last 27 years of playing on the PGA Tour.

In his first 17 years, the Golden Bear racked up 68 wins in 343 starts = 19.83% (up through age 38).

Tiger is in his 17th year, 74 wins in 285 starts = 25.96% (age 36). Super impressive, without question.

Jack through age 35 (1975, 14 seasons) had 296 starts, 59 wins (19.93%), and 14 majors.

Doubtful I will go this year. My brother is a bigshot at AEP and had said something about getting me some tickets but I think he has bigger fish to fry right now. I was there in 2010 though for 5 days. And I managed to get on CBS when Jeff Overton sliced a ball on 14 in the final round.

I volunteered at TPC Sawgrass almost 30 years ago, when they seldom/never showed the front 9 (I worked the Par 3 8th for several years). Then I switched to the tenth, and Nicklaus hit a ball in the woods. It was my big moment; I was the guy with his arms spread out like I'm holding back the flood waters while Jack punches it out sideways. Aviator glasses, straw hat, and dark woods, but that was totally me on National Television.I never did foregive Mom for taping over that later in the fall. Sorry Mom, I really should have let that go sooner.

Link?Gal I used to play in a mixed league with took a lesson from Sam @ The Greenbrier. He was the head pro there after his peak earning years, and anyone staying at the resort could book a lesson with him. Different era, you'll never see an all-time great having to supplement his income like that - but what a great lifelong memory for anyone who got to spend an hour on the range with Slammin' Sammy!

He ended 2010 #3 in the world. In 2011 he was injured and only played 11 events, dropping to #52. Now he's playing full time again, the best player so far in 2012, and already back to #4 in the world ranking.

 

[benztoronto]

FWIW, he would be ranked #2 if it wasn't for the min 40 tournament divisor.
