Although I think Tiger's the best, I watched Phil Mickelson laugh, smile, and high-five the fans at Riviera today. I wish Tiger could soften his game face and be more accessible to fans. I understand he's an intense competitor, but without the fans, he would not be as rich as he is.

I agree. While I understand tiger (and everyone else) is extremely competitive, if I got to play golf for that kinda dough I wouldn't be able to stop smiling!

For some reason, you have missed hundreds of posts that do accept that.  I've often said I can't even prove that Tiger would beat Vardon head to head, although I'd bet on him. What I CAN prove is

Here ya go, right our of Jack's 1996 autobiography.  He is giving the third of his three reasons (equipment and fitness being the other) for the decline of the superstar in golf (re

That's very unfair to Jack, since he played events well into his 60's.  It also distorts Tiger's record, since he played injured for several years. It would be more fair to look at the the period

I agree with Butchie Harmon, if Tiger keeps violently snapping his left knee through impact like he currently does he will not beat Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 majors...his wobbly knee will never hold up under that kind of trauma.

Tiger needs to completely over haul his swing.

Jack had more class than Tiger ever will. Tiger's after the $$$ and the notoriety........Jack just loved the game.

On what do you base these bizarre opinions?

How did Nicklaus have more "class"? What "notoriety" is Tiger after? How do you know that Nicklaus was not motivated by money? How do you now that Tiger is motivated by money? Everything I have seen or read suggests otherwise.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I've come into the game pretty late (39?) so the only player that's made an impact is Tiger Woods. I think we''l see what he's made of as he recovers from his injury.

WTF, Tiger just got smoked (4 & 2) by the likes of Tim Clark!

Maybe a chink in the armour?

If Tiger still has to ice and elevate his knee 8 months after surgery tells me something is still not right with the knee.

Time will tell my fellow fairway farmers, are we seeing the decline of a golfing god who's looking more and more mortal every day?

Hmmmm.. His knee may not be 100% intact, but I'm sure his golfing spirit is nothing less than 100% intact!

It's hard to say who really would win when either of them are at their prime. Both are such incredible competitors that I think it would come down to who was having a better day and what type of course they were playing. Long course with flat greens, Tiger wins. Lots of wind / British Open style course, Tiger wins. If it is a shorter course with lots of rough, I think it's Nicklaus.

At Augusta National, I think it's Tiger based on the fact that the rough isn't horrible, the trees aren't a real threat, and wedge into those undulating greens can make it so you end up on the right level a lot easier.

      I have a putting mat in my office. It's 9 feet long almost 4 feet wide. I've drawn a line down it in order to practice hitting my line and stuff. Works fine for what it is.  While I'm not a fan of lining up a line on my golfball for every putt. I think for practice sessions it can have a lot of value.  To me this product makes sense. This is the first time I've seen it. It showed up as an add on the right side of the TST webpage. What do you all think? PuttAIM Laser Training Aid Get ready to dominate the greens like never before. PuttAIM Golf is a golf putting aid that uses laser technology to help you improve your game. This device works to ensure your putts are aligned properly and on track...

      Of course. I've used different words to start, but like 90-95% of the time it's been this one. And I'm unlikely to switch now.

      Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.
