...Note though that Tiger supplies a fair share of "dumbass"/fantastic shots...

I'd disagree with the first part of this statement. There is a difference between a dumbass shot (which one can't pull off) and fantastic shot(which one most likely will execute).

Example: dumbass : Mickleson @ US Open. Fantastic: Tiger - 5i out of fwy bunker over water to pin 215yds away couple years ago to seal the deal at a tournament, 5W from deep rough to put the ball on the green from 260 away or driver onto the fringe of 345yds par 4 last weekend, (fill in the blanks for the remaining 1210423092 examples ). What I'm trying to say - I haven't seen Tiger go for "fantastic" shot and fail. He knows himself, knows his game - he's just not going for "dumbass".

Which really makes you wonder...what kinda stuff could Tiger do if he didn't play the odds? I'd love to follow him around the course watching him play a casual round where he was hitting shots even he didn't know if he could pull off (like the rest of us do on the weekends

). When he hits a 220 yard shot that hooks 30 yards around some trees and rolls up on the green you know he's hit that shot 1000's of times.

Sure is, im not a Tiger fan.. Im a golf fan. Yeah he's the greatest player in the game and the way he's playing right now unless he dies or gets killed within the next 5-10 years, Jack's record will be crushed. Of course I find some of the stuff he does amazing, mainly his putting. I find myself routing for him to miss so Jim or whoever may be the next one down the list that week.. has a glimpse of hope at getting into a playoff.

Personally id say phil has the best hands on tour with the amount of spin he can put on shots from 30 yrds., so guys like him, Weirsy, John Daly and Sergio are fun to watch but Tiger just flatout mowes the competition over.

I get a kick out of watching him go shot for shot with other guys, Him and Phil at Doral was the most exciting golf i've ever seen, along with him and John Daly at the wgc last year. Personally i route for those guys not Tiger, Im Canadian so obviously i want guys like Mike weir, Stephen Ames, James Lepp(watchout for him) and Ian Leggat to win, thats why i watch golf to see guys like Mike who was 3 back at the PGA and seemed like he was gunna catch Tiger before he fell off. So without Tiger things might be just as boring as his dominance has been, it would be neat to witness him win the grandslam or beat Jack's record. but personally i just want to see someone catch him and beat him in a tourny.
