i used to think that this guy would be the guy to step up and challenge tiger week in week out (part of me still does) but he's just too inconsistent! he started off the day 3 back and well in the hunt but then goes and shoots 78 today to drop to 1 over! he really needs to find his game!

Just because they're pros doesn't mean they're not human. Anyone is capable of shooting bad rounds..

AKs swing is so powerful, solid, and simple looking, he is bound to have more consistency. Out of all the young golfers out there he has the greatest potential (see Augusta birdie record)

Tiger is a once in a generation player. If he gets his feel and confidence back, he will once again be in a different league compared to the rest. Challenging Tiger at his best week in and week out is impossible.

However, I fear (even though I've never been a huge Tiger fan) that we may have seen the end of Tiger's supremacy. He still just doesn't look quite right. Most athletes, don't recover 100% from that kind of lay off. If he can come back from this injury better than ever, and I probably shouldn't doubt that he can, he will confirm in my mind that he is the best ever.

Very well said. Tiger is the best I've ever seen (mind you I didn't see much of Jack) and he's pretty tough to beat.

However, I fear (even though I've never been a huge Tiger fan) that we may have seen the end of Tiger's supremacy. He still just doesn't look quite right. Most athletes, don't recover 100% from that kind of lay off. If he can come back from this injury better than ever, and I probably shouldn't doubt that he can, he will confirm in my mind that he is the best ever.

My dad thinks the same exact thing that Tiger won't be back like he was before. But, he said the same thing about Dwayne Wade, so take that for what it's worth. Tiger is not "most athletes" and if anyone can make the comeback, he can. Wade, Peyton Manning, Steve McNair, etc. have all come back from pretty bad injuries and have done pretty well. I'm sure Tiger will be back eventually.

yes i know but it seems he always has a bad round every time he's in contention recently! dont get me wrong he's a quality golfer but he needs to get more consistent imo or else he might be the next sergio!

I think I'd read something or heard something about his shoulder or elbow being injured or something.

Plus he was awfully busy chasing the international IMG money train earlier this year... and he has a tendency (which he supposedly got over last year) of enjoying his evenings...

I've got to agree that Tiger is a once in a lifetime golfer. Unlike others, the guy is always there or there-about, even without his A-game. For example, his B-game gets him into the Top 10 of Majors (see Masters 2009). Therein lies the main difference between Tiger and the rest. When the others are "not on", they are not on the front page of the leader board, and hence the perceived lack of week-in, week-out consistency.

He probably needs another year or two of maturity. He probably won't come close to Tiger's status, but he should win a couple of majors before all said and done.

I agree! He has such a nice (perfect?) swing and he is young as well so give him a few years and he will be a dominator!

He'll come around I'm sure. He's played quite a bit overseas recently and also injured himself a couple of times doing non-golf related activities I believe.

I'd venture a guess and say he'll win one event this year.

He's like Mike Weir or Stephen Ames, he can make a lot of birdies but he can also make alot of bogies. Id agree he's pretty streaky.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By iacas ·

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.

      Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.

      Slight digression on the way to my point. Back in the day there were a lot of people who said that Tiger won because of “the Tiger effect” where people pushed too hard and made mistakes trying to catch him and fell by the wayside. I thought that was BS. It was just that he was that much better than them. I don’t think anything has changed my mind on that.    The hype about Miles Russell is very limited. I’ve seen nothing about him outside of some fairly hardcore golf websites. But I think that the reason those people are talking about him is because he is very good. Same as Tiger. And like I said he just broke one of Tiger’s records. That gets hardcore golf fans to pay attention.
