Yeah, it was a once-in-a-career choke-job by Woods, but when that first-ever choke comes at a point in his career that Finless has tried warning everyone about, it's not luck- it's the exclaimation point to his thread. This is what he's been trying to tell you.If it makes the Woods fans feels better, there are more of the meaningless tournaments coming up. Tiger will win again.

This is fact.Ok, you found one guy who beat Tiger head to head on Sunday. So he's 14 out of 15 in majors when leading after 54 holes. I think you also put down that Tiger wins "meaningless" tourneys on the Tour. The only meaningless tourneys on the Tour are the ones that Tiger skips when he is healthy. That is defined by tv ratings and competition. That is a fact. Good luck with your fishing trip or was it your turn today to keep the thread alive? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can't change the measuring stick just because your guy isn't winning majors.Just to help you out here, because you are failing miserably, the last major Tiger had won was when he had a torn ACL, and a double stress fracture. Usually, that takes more than a year to recover from. Tiger has had a great run of Tournaments this past month, is #1 in the World, and still the benchmark of the Tour. All Tiger has to do if fix a few things, and he is just as dominant as he was before his knee surgery. Despite losing the PGA Championship, he still played the best Golf out of all of the others. He just fell short. He misjudged a few approach shots to the green, and his putts just missed by a hair on a few putts. You would fish better if you knew what you were talking about.

I said Tiger Woods career; not Shaun Micheel's, not Kenny Perry's, not anybody else's for that matter. In my world, Tiger Woods is held to a higher standard than any other golfer, because Tiger Woods holds himself to a higher standard than any other golfer. Tiger has made it abundantly clear that his mission is to go down as the greatest golfer to ever tee it up. He knows that in order to do that, he must beat Jack's majors record. I don't understand why you don't get that.Let me ask you this: Do you think, if Tiger could win 4, and only 4 tournaments in a season, and could somehow magically choose which tournaments he wins, do you think he would pick the Bridgestone over one of the majors? Or would he choose the 4 majors?And just for the record, I do NOT think Tiger is "done." Far from it. In fact, I think he goes on to shatter Jack's majors record.
