Hear me now!!! el tigre wins not one, not two, but three majors this year. i think phil will finally win a u.s. open, and the rest belong to tiger.

I think Phil has a better chance of another Masters than the U.S. open to be honest.He's been the best player in the Masters over the last 5 years (2 wins, 2 third place finishes and averaged 70.40 per round).

That said he's also the best player in the U.S. open over the last 5 years (2 seconds and a third place finish, with an average of 71.25 per round). I just think the Masters will come too soon for Tiger if indeed he plays at all next year.He'll still have too much baggage by then to fully focus on winning.And Phil is the perfect man to take advantage of a mediocre Tiger. For the U.S. Open.. As other have said, Tiger dominates Pebble Beach, every time.By the time that rolls around he might be in a better place to challenge. But.. I'm personally hoping (unrealistically) Tiger doesn't play at all next year and Phil does the Lefty-Slam

crazy as it may sound, it is tough to win majors if tiger does not show up...

on one hand, i understand the well wishers of the best case scenario for tiger golf wise...keep winning on the golf course and other things will take care of themselves. ala if we win lotto, we just play golf and things will take care of themselves. fine.

on the other, life has a funny way of getting complicated. to play or not to play, that is the question.

if playing golf is a simple solution to all the issues at hand, i would think playing with a busted face a week ago is much easier than playing with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

Then everyone and their mom will be putting an asterisk next to Phil's accomplishments. Unfair but very likely if your desired scenario plays out.

Everyone is jumping way ahead of things....i bet he doesnt start at the start of the season. I wouldnt be surprised if he doesnt win any majors again next year just due to the distractions.....

The flip side of that is that you could also say all the distractions have been removed - Tiger no longer has to worry about keeping his secrets secret. He can focus on two things - golf and family. Plus his knee is bound to be far healthier this year.

Plus, the "intimidation" thing could go the other way too. Those who say Tiger lost some intimidation factor last year might now be thinking "oh, crap, it's no wonder he wasn't as intimidating - he had all that stuff going on." Kind of like how he's given a (completely justified) pass on the 2006 U.S. Open MC - his dad had died. Let's not forget that with all the distractions and whatnot he was still the Player of the Year and won a boat load of times. Additionally, Tiger probably knows as much as anyone else that winning fixes a lot of things.

I was thinking more about a bet on whether he would play or not.

Some rumors out there about Elin telling him to quit golfing if he wants to keep her. Not that I take the tabloids too serious, but this situation could have a major (not a golf-major major) impact on his future on the course.

Ill bet you a sleeve of Pro V1x balls (seeing as we are on a GOLF forum) that tiger doesnt win more than 2 majors. if you or anyone else would like to extend the terms by predicting who will Then keep replying to this post and we will see where this leads

You're on.

You do realize that you lose the bet unless he wins THREE (or more) major tournaments...

You don't know how long "indefinite" is. He probably doesn't either.

I guess he will not be winning quite so much this year if he isn't going to be playing. Actually, my guess is that this layoff will not last, and neither will his marriage. I've known a couple of guys like Tiger. They love the chase. They love the conquest. They just can't leave the ladies alone. However, Tiger might prove me wrong, but I doubt it.

Errrrmmmmm...Are there no other golfers likely to be playing, with the intention of getting their names on a Major?

Westwood? Harrington? McIlroy? K J Choi? Stricker? even Ernie Els (showing return to form in S Africa at the moment) and Retief Goosen? Adam Scott is playing better than for a long time, too. What about next year's 'Y E Yang' - the one overlooked who rises to the occasion? Phil may face some competition...

It was in fact a light-hearted comment, not to be taken seriously

although.. If Phil keeps up his recent level of performance at the Masters he has a great chance of winning it.He seems to know Augusta like few others do.

Tiger playing doesn't mean he'll take all the majors. He didn't win a single one in 2009, despite being one of his best years ever.

      Article, Lessons From the Worst Golf Instructor in America

      By iacas ·

      More actual thoughts on the articles: Oh boy. I taught 5SK, and before that, I was S&T certified. Those experiences, for many good instructors, are additive. They're not "all" that they are. If I were to go through Scott Cowx's certification, or Dr. Kwon's, or James Ridyard's, or whomever's… I wouldn't be a "method" teacher any more than I am now. I'd be adding tools to the toolbox. He says there are "system" teachers, "non-system" teachers, and method teachers. Which one am I? A "non-system teacher"? So, I don't have any systems or structure? Or am I a "system" teacher with a bunch of branches and if/then/else statements? I don't know. The physics thing as it relates to S&T… yeah, that's already been discussed. Huh? Brendan, sorry, that part is bogus AF. Of course the arms go "around" somewhat. It's back, up, and in. Down, out, and forward. Plus, again, "energy can either be created or destroyed" isn't even right, as many of you have said. It's "neither" and it can be transformed, too. Plus, as others noted, that's typically a closed system: in our bodies we transform sugars and other things to create movement, energy. I'm going to move off this before I get totally annoyed… "These are the pontifications of a method" — no, the specific example he cited is the way everyone who has ever played good golf moves their hands - back, up, and in. The clubhead moves that way, too. I've seen this happen. This part might be the most accurate part of the article (it's no longer clear whether he's talking about this fellow or just talking in general here.) "Now here’s the sinister thing: The overwhelming information is by design." — If the instructor is as incompetent as he says, he's likely not doing any of this "by design." He doesn't sound bright enough to do so. WTF does that have to do with anything? Probably happens to some extent sometimes, but is that the instructor's fault? Or the student for not recognizing it? Also, again, this instructor doesn't seem to be bright (not that this article even really talks about the instructor anymore), so… I doubt he's doing all of this intentionally. People are found out eventually. I'm at a point where I get a lot of referrals from people who have noticed their friends playing better golf, and ask. Or people want to brag about their improvements, and that sells their friends. "As a result, these players couldn’t play golf." — Huh? I think he just observed when he was there. Not that he went out of his way to watch. 😄

      Is it possible that he writer is full of shit himself? "After months of listening and watching...". Yeah right, cuz that's so normal for writers do that just to get a single article out of the massive endeavor. I mean unless you are angling for a Rant-Pulitzer (Yup, it is a thing.. like, totally).
