    Same here. I honestly dont think anyone in the sports world is rooting against him anymore.
    :lol: Right here in this very forum, the gentlemen known as "imalive" and "roughmix" are somewhere rooting extremely hard against Tiger...there will be a very inspiring and ultra-contributing "f@*k Tiger" that will pop up if/when he wins today. They loathe him. There are really only 3 reasons not to appreciate Tiger: Either a) you are related to Elin, b) you had "relations" with him and are hurt to know he was married and or had additional female mistresses or c) you don't really appreciate greatness in golf.
    (It's like the people who say they hated Jordan, Jeter, Gretzky, Ali...sure its cool to root against them, but NOBODY in HISTORY did it better)...
    I had put a few stats up a page earlier, but saw this one this morning that I thought was pretty awesome:
    If/when he wins today, in the modern era: most weeks ranked @ 1in FEDEX pts: Woods, 60; Els, 22; Singh, 15; Ogilvy, 14.
    Tiger Woods has spent the most consecutive weeks in the Official Golf Ranking: 281 - as well as the most total weeks 623 in that position. <--next closest, Greg Norman @ 331...after that: Nick Faldo @ 97 weeks...
    Three golfers EVER have spent an entire calendar year atop the rankings: Nick Faldo (1993), Greg Norman (1996), and Tiger Woods (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009).
    That my friends, is called DOMINATION.
    GO TIGER!
    I'm hoping Fowler plays well paired with Tiger today...kid has game. Couple of more weeks until the Masters - can't wait!!!

    Played out of the mud, water, rocks, bushes and off roots and all manner of cartpaths but not out of a tree.

    If he returns to form?
    IF?
    He has won 6 of his last 20 events.
    It is March 26th and he is already guaranteed "Player Of The Year".
    He has 3 wins already this year. Right?
    IF he returns to form?

    Thats way too early. people said the same thing last year and he didnt win a Masters. With Tiger, more so than any other player, the ONLY thing that matters is majors. If he aint winning them, he aint back. And he would tell us that if he were on this board. He could have a horrible rest of the year, and not win another major, and win few if any other tourneys. Would he still be a shoo in for player of the year then?

    For me, the people who win the 4 majors this year are in the conversation for player of the year. If he doesnt win a major this year, he isnt in the conversation. Simple as that,

    tiger's hopeful and optimistic statement about "wanting to be better than I was before" is just that, a hopeful and wishful statement. He's not as good as he once was. He flat out admits a new generation is in the game and is dominating. You really think Rory sits awake at night worrying about Tiger beating him by 7 strokes at a major? You have to be kidding me.
  • I also think as Ive said for years, you cant be as good as he once was, with the mindset he has now. There was a reason he was so ridiculously good. He spent every waking moment eating, breathing and playing golf. What the car crash and scandal I think taught him, was that there are things way more important than golf, like family, children, and integrity and honesty. If he's not spending all day at the range, like he used to, and its clear he's not, then he wont be as good. No one would.

    I also think its clear if you asked him, what do you enjoy more spending time with family and your kids or playing golf. He'd say his family was more important. That would have never entered his thoughts back in 2000. And its clear he conducted his life as such back then.

    He;s changed

    I can't imagine someone could type more nonsense if they tried. How the fuck do you know any of this? You really know nothing about Tiger and either do I. How the hell do you know what his training routine is?

    And did he spend every waking moment eating, breathing and playing golf? I would imagine there are a couple hundred chicks that he piped that would disagree.

    Maybe he is spending more time now that there is less stress in life.

    All this is assumptions. Everything you said and everything I have said. But the fact of the matter the dude is playing some good fucking golf, and is the favorite to win the masters. Will he win? Who knows, golf is a brutal game to win, but he is playing better golf than he has played in a very very long time.

    Comical. If 4 guys win one tournament this year and they happen to be major, they had a better year than Tiger who already has 3 wins before April?

    Dude, just give it up.
