Is it possible that Tiger's poor play is an effort to run the ship into the ground, lose sponsors and decrease his net worth so that he doesn't give up more dough to his soon to be ex-wife? Showing how is image is hurt and he is not worth as much?

I worked in a office with a guy that did that, wanted me to falsify documents for him and lie about the portion of business that was mine coming into the office. He lost a ton of business and the office was barely making it. He had a bunch of cash that would never hit the banks and owned a ton of expensive guns as well that suddenly disappeared. I am somewhat surprised she didn't "disappear".

Opinions?

I don't see it. Florida is a community property state and she already gets half of the marital assets. The only way Tiger's earning potential would come into play might be with regard to alimony, which I doubt any court would award her given (1) her share of the divorce settlement and (2) the fact that she had a fairly promising career prior to marrying Tiger which she can probably resume without much difficulty.

She was a nanny. Hardly a promising career.

I think it's just a mental problem that he's chasing with physical fixes. He needs to stop being a prima-donna and play every (or nearly every) week. His short game looks like a bogey golfer's and he's missing three footers by six inches. If he doesn't play week in and week out, this isn't going to get better.

Tiger may be a hounddog, but he fairly rational when it comes to financial matters. That is not rational.

My idea? A psychiatrist has prescribed him drugs that have him numbed. He looked mentally and physically numb last week.

You'd look that way too if you just shot the worst round of your life and realized "wow I haven't hit rockbottom yet?" I'd be numb in his shoes, because how else could you deal with everything?

This may sound all well and good, but you don't know how much time he needs for legal issues such as the divorce and custody battles, as well as whatever else is going on.

I think this is a real possibility. This or pain killers. He was taking prescription drugs to heighten his sex with porn stars. He's had the operations and the neck pain.

My guess is he's struggling with an addiction to pain killers that he probably hasn't got the will to confront yet, what with all the other BS in his life right now. Also, coming off HGH probably leaves you feeling a little vulnerable, too. Do you believe him when he says he has never taken a PED?

Check your facts. She was a model prior to becoming a nanny for Jesper Parnevik.

Wow, and I thought my opening paragraph for this thread was loopy.

Wow, I haven't put much thought in Tiger's poor play, other than it must really be hard for him. But these statements certainly seem like a logical explanation.

Check your facts. She was a model prior to becoming a nanny for Jesper Parnevik.

And probably need to check your reality a bit.

As bwdial pointed out, the fact was that her job before marrying TW was as a nanny, and she wasn't modeling anymore. The modeling was a very part time thing along with working as a supermarket checkout girl and salesgirl in a clothing store before working for Parnevik. If the modeling was so lucrative and working out so well, why give all that up to work as a nanny? And now that she's ten years past her short modeling experience, what is the reality that is a career she could pick up again? Not many modeling opportunities for 30+ year old mommies.

Since it so much fun speculating, I'll add that I give the painkiller aspect some credence here, and I'm speaking from some experience. Following a spinal cord injury last fall with back surgery in December (and another in two weeks) I've been unfortunately relying on Percocets to get through the day-to-day pain. In general I'm fully functional with the pills but sometimes feel just slightly "off"; I've gone to the practice range a few times and found my timing just wasn't there. Although my full swings were OK, I really noticed it on the shots that need touch like pitching, chipping and putting. I thought that the lingering problems from surgery would impact my full swing more and I'd be able to work the short game, but it has been the opposite. And I also have a bit of a "give up" feeling when dealing with problems on my job or around the house. I just feel mentally less sharp, but in my job I can kind of veg for 15 minutes and get it back on track - I don't think one could do this playing on Tour for a living.

Watching Tiger in person at the US Open, my wife and I both noticed some quirkly strokes in his putting and that his chipping rythmn didn't look as smooth as it used to. Although he whined about the greens at Pebble, we observed that his practice strokes looked different from hitting the ball. Who know if the drugs are part of a cause, but his short game struggles looked similar to the ones I'm feeling. In the world of professional athletics, the difference between the best in the world and just the other athletes is often miniscule. And from my experience with painkillers, I can certainly understand those negating that difference.

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
