Its like reading a classic tragedy - watching the fall of Tiger. Guilt and shame are continuing to erode his ability to play the game to the level he was once capable of.

I've got 10 bucks that says he loses his tour card within 5 years.

Looks like you will be out of a tenner then.

Tiger may never again be the best player in the world but to say he will decline enough to be outside the top 125 on tour is laughable

We'll see Deasy - the mind is an amazing thing when it comes to golf. If your heads not right, you wont play well, and mr woods is demonstrating that very thoroughly for all of us.

check my email mate i am on paypal, i am awaiting your tenner,

he just put a great round out today in Dubai, he will never lose his card.

The schoolteacher was taking her first golfing lesson. "Is the word spelt p-u-t or p-u-t-t?" she asked the instructor. "P-u-t-t is correct," he replied. "Put means to place a thing where you want it. Putt means merely a vain attempt to do the same thing."

It will be an interesting weekend, to be sure.  Was today's 66 an indication of return to form, or is it merely an aberration in an otherwise mediocre season?

As far as Tiger leaving the tour in 5 years; I think it could happen, but only if he decides that his game is not worthy of his standards.  That is, I don't think he will allow himself to be an average player.  If he feels he can no longer compete in every tournament he enters, like 2010, I wouldn't be surprised if he retired.  But we shall see.

I find it funny that you chose the day that he shoots a 66 to say this. Either way, I'll take you up on that bet in a heartbeat- if your 15 post count (a larger number of which are about Tiger Woods) didn't make me suspect you of trolling.

I was wondering about that.

I don't think he'd lose his card anyway in the next five years. There is a chance he could return to form; I don't think his head is fully clear yet. I think it is possible he could regain number 1 if he gets things sorted out, but I don't think he can sustain the dominance he once had.  He is a great athlete and I certainly don't think he is over the hill just yet, but the birthdays are stacking up and the "hungry" youngsters are nipping at his heels. I am certainly not ready to write him off though; he will win again.

If Tiger ever dropped out of the top 20 in the world it would be so awesome. I doubt he'll ever lose his card. I can't stand him either.  If someone would have told you 15 mos ago that this scandle would happen, and he'd lose his game, you wouldn't have believe it. He is a phony and had us all fooled.

Did he?  I wasn't surprised at all.  Also don't care.  It's between him and his family.

Ha ha ha. Pay up "Large Marge." I vote that "Large Marge" be banned if he doesn't pay up.

Dumbest thing I read today. And I subscribe to two local newspapers, so, I read a lot of dumb shit.

"The expert golfer has maximum time to make minimal compensations. The poorer player has minimal time to make maximum compensations." - And no, I'm not Mac. Please do not PM me about it. I just think he is a crazy MFer and we could all use a little more crazy sometimes.

He was a great player - and has god given talent. He had the opportunity to be the best and threw it away. Since he drug himself through the mud, He has no place next to names like Nicklaus, Hogan, and Jones. Now he has a headful of shame and regret and I for one hope he shanks every iron, slices every tee shot, and chili dips every wedge for years to come. God may giveth, and God may taketh away. Perhaps some of you have forgotten - this is supposed to be a gentlemens game.

Well-I kinda wish the same for you, and I don't even particularly like Tiger.  He has no obligation to you to be faithful to his wife.  He's already 2nd in majors, 3rd in tournaments won.  He could quit right now and still be in the greatest ever discussion (kinda like Bobby Jones).

Why is this even a discussion? Bad golf for Tiger is amazing golf for 75% of the tour. You know how many guys grind it out on tour every year just to make the top 125 on the money list? Tiger will play almost half the tournaments they do and still place near the top (last year being an exception). And lets be honest here, even if he retired today he could still be the best/most dominant player to ever play the game of golf. He has 14 times the number of majors as the 2 guys ahead of him in the world ranking combined. Lets face it, last year was a fluke, he'll pretty much always contend in the majors, and he's nowhere near done winning yet.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
