    Interesting.What's the word for it?
    Hipocrisy comes to mind.
    RoughMix,
    I don't "idolize" Tiger Woods. Nor do I "love" Tiger Woods. You can scrub through these pages and find I never used the words, nor proclaimed that.
    I love the game of golf.
    I respect the men who made/make the game great.
    I find myself admiring the feats of the greats, the men who leave their mark on one of the greatest games.
    Like him or not, Tiger - already - is in the conversation as one of the greatest, most accomplished men to play the game of golf. Inside the ropes, RoughMix. In the fairways, RoughMix. On the greens and from the rough, good sir.
    I am disappointed by his lack of respect for some of the tradition and etiquette both inside and outside the clubhouse.
    Him cheating his family, harming himself, saddening and maddening (and losing) sponsors, not being a saint or gentleman outside of the course sucks, but its his life.
    Who am I to judge?
    Michael Jordan. Babe Ruth. Dan Marino. Lawrence Taylor. Pete Rose. Muhammad Ali. Arnold Palmer. Want me to continue? Hall of Famers in sport, less then such outside the lines.
    Athletic prowess and feats don't lose their luster (for me) just because of personal flaws off the field of sport.
    And by the way, Tiger Woods could win 25 majors and not be an eighth of a human being Mr. Langley was ;)
    Doesn't mean I won't root for the guy to try and reach the pinnacle of the game of golf.
    I respect you root against him. I respect that you chose not to admire his ability to play the game you apparently like. Thats you and more power to ya, RoughMix.
    I'm going to root like hell for the guy to win more majors, set scoring records and do things inside the ropes that us mere mortals could only dream about doing in videogames, let alone real life. :lol:
    I think throwing the word "hypocrisy" around is a misuse of the term, not accurate or befitting of a man of your intelligence.
    Peace and respect, RoughMix...
    And Go Tiger.

    I have never stated that I "hate" tiger woods.Yet you ascribe that to me.
    Big joke until someone calls you out.
    I have never cared what he does in his personal life.
    It was just so befitting.
    But when you see his sour face,and saying f***k after missing a birdie putt on his way to a brilliant 61.
    You have to say, what an ass.Inside the ropes.
    Next week will be a much tougher course.
    Enjoy.

    Almost broke 80 today. Never have. 3 putt bogey on 9 gave me 40 on the front.

    Tripled 10, but foured thru the next couple holes. Doubled 16 which hurt. Shot 82. Next time. Played well all year.

    Congrats on the dominant tourney, Tiger...imagine if he put it in the fairway a few more times a round, incredible!

    Tiger blowing away the field at Firestone! WARNING: Oak Hills is a lot like Firestone.

    looks like Oak Hill is defending itself quite well ... opening rd 71 for tiger has him in the mix ...

    Tied for 67th place at the moment for tiger...in the mix? Hmmmm.
    This is not Firestone.
    At least tiger finished nicely.
    And guess what?
    Denied to give an interview.
    Surprise!

    Wrong Cliffy,he declined for tv coverage(TNT),but later did one for the PGA.
    Which he is obligated to do.

    Great round for the Duffer.
    Wish he could have rammed that birdie home on 18.
    tiger is done for another year.Great news.
    Loved that chop from the first hole rough.What a baby.
    He really had the lip pout happening today.Haha.
    looks like tigers' lovers will have some free time this weekend.
    Feherty just cannot say that tiger is out of it.
    What a wishy washy ass kisser.

    gee tiger is falling back ... does anyone still think he'll break Jack's major record? i'm not so sure now, he hasn't won since '98 and next year he'll be 39.

    Tiger last won a major in 2008, not 1998. (Torrey Pines)
    Jack won his last Major at 46 years old. Between 1978 and 1986 Jack won 4 Majors. That's the equivalent of 30+ Majors.
    I'm not sure Tiger plays competitively until 46, but if he is healthy I'd guess he'd show up for Majors.
    Tiger has a long way to go this weekend, and most likely 10 shots is too much to make up...
    So, to answer your question lukin2006 - will he break the record? I think he will. Can he win 4 or 5 of the next 30+ Majors he plays in? For his career, he's won 1 out of every 4 tourneys he's entered...(25.99%) the odds suggest he will.
    Shall be a great watch to see, regardless...
    So happy for Duff today...great guy...that short putt on 18 showed you the nerves creeped up on him...
    I'd love to see him win it this week.
    btw, GO TIGER :D
