Ak!

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.

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...

[SasQuatch<3]

I think hes the man, espeically after reading the article about him in golf digest! Plus he has the most amazing beltbuckle!

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!

[jorruss]

He just needs to stay away from the surf boards!

[pjsnyc]

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.

[mcfc_nick]

Today just shows how inconsistent he is! the guy makes 6 birdies and still shoots 73!

[mcfc_nick]

wow! he shoots an 82 today!! this guy needs something to click in his game very soon!
