What sport could you beat Tiger in?

[Guest]

basketball

[golf rules]

Right now, just about anything as he said he can't really do much.
When he's healthy I could probably beat him in archery and spearfishing.

is shopping a sport?

When I was in shape I'd definitely guess I'd beat him at arm wrestling. And for everyone saying, "he's definitely stronger than you, he benches 375", have you ever seen anyone bench 375? I used to bench 295 in college, and at that time I had over 220 lbs. of lean muscle mass (made Tiger look like an anemic cheerleader). The guys I knew that could bench more than me looked a lot more like Jason Zuback than Tiger Woods. There's no way a guy that lanky could ever put up a number like that.

I grew up with a Hawaiian kid who put up 505 at 243 pounds and I've seen a few guys in the gym here at Ft. Stewart rep 315 with a build similar to Tiger. I don't think Tiger benching 375 is that big of a stretch.

How "similar"? Similar as in over 6' tall and only 180 pounds? Similar as in long but very lean arms? Sorry, but I just don't think he could possibly do that much.

Isn't Tiger pushing 190-195 nowdays?

375 would still be a pretty big lift for him. I'm 6' 170lbs and I can rep 225. I've never tried to find out 1RM though. I'll pyramid up to 225 for 1 rep starting at 135 and then back down to 135. I might could push 250, but I'd have to really be feeling good that day. There's a guy at my gym who does a pyramid rep scheme up to 405 (thats four plates a side!) whose weight fluctuates around 225lbs. He really doesn't look all that strong at first glance. He doesn't have huge arms, but his chest and shoulders are thick. He's crazy strong just the same. Tiger's long arms would make it tough to move a lot of weight on the bench, and you'd think his trainer/coach wouldn't want him maxing out much for fear of hurting his shoulders?

Exactly, I'm not saying the guy's not very strong, just that his body is not shaped at all like anyone I've ever seen pushing up more than 300, and I think this is a case of "If Tiger Woods were here he'd strike down the enemy with fire from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse."

Similar as in 6' and right around 200. I don't believe he weighs 180, I weigh 180, I'm 5'8" and he's taller and thicker than I am. I have no idea what he can bench, I just think it's possible for someone built like him to do it. Personally I'm not a fan of his no matter how much he can bench.

Swimming, Water Polo, Shooting....

I guess I really don't want to have to beat him at anything. I would like to sit on a stool and have a beer with him.

[ctmurrray]

With his current injury I could be competative in bowling. (I suspect Tiger could still beat me in golf playing from a cart).

In my prime it would be Hockey. swinging a stick wouldn't be hard for him...until you add 20+ lbs.

[brandon_mcg]
