The strength of Tiger's game has been his mental game. He does what he needs to win, and doesn't make "mental" errors. After watching the start of his PGA sunday, he got off to a hot start but made a questionable call to try and drive the "easy" par4 sixth with a driver and ended up bogeying the hole. That just seemed to kill his momentum. Had he made the smart play and layed back and then tried to stick a wedge, he'd have a chance at birdie and at least par the hole. Part of him regaining his form is that he doesn't beat himself and play overagressively, but it's not all about him regaining his swing.

... Look at the clowns chasing his number one spot. Eldrick does not imho have any where near the competition that Jack had...and he will always be a derelict

Ignoring the other butthurtudness, that's just objectively rubbish. Aside from the US tour having more depth, the European tour is miles better these days....so many dangerous players who could easily win.

    • Agreed - only 5 players better than -4. Not quite alarm bells are ringing time just yet.
    • I don't really care what the winning score is. The best players still generally bubble up to the top. Also, second is three back. It's not like there are ten people within two shots of the lead.
    • Are these course getting easier? are the players getting better? should we not worry about tournaments that used to produce single digit winners are now producing course records year after year.  I am not talking roll back I am just curious why scores are so much lower than five to ten years ago. 
    • I've posted plenty of positive things about Tiger over the years. I just like to play fair.  But if you want to see me praise TW some more here you go: 12 wins by 7 shots or more - Jack had 4 3 separate win streaks of 5 or more in a row - Jack won 3 in a row once It took Jack 172 more events and 9 extra years to reach Tiger's 71 wins by 2009 TW is the only player since 1900 to win a major by double digits and he did it twice 30% peak win rate is even higher than the previous record holder Ben Hogan (25%) 11 time PGA Tour Player of the year - Jack had 5 12 times lead the Tour in wins - Jack 6 10 times money list leader - Jack 8 Jack officially has 73 wins, but 2 of them are team wins with Arnie. You could argue he should be listed with 71 and I wouldn't disagree. 
    • I mean that's clearly an opinion.  The funny thing is I never even attacked Tiger, I just pointed out that the other poster had a point when he mentioned that Jack had a longer career. Tiger basically had 5 years when he could have been winning more tournaments if not for his injuries. 2010-2011 and then again 2015-2017. Hard to make the argument after his final win because not many players win a ton after age 43.  If those numbers support the fact that Jack had a longer career so be it. Don't take that as an affront to Tiger.
