I meant the OP wagered 10 bucks. Not multiples of $10.

I'll take that bet.

Oh, I already won it*. Please send my $10. PM me and I'll give you my address. Thank you.

* Tiger's won enough and been on Tour long enough that he has earned a lifetime membership to the PGA Tour.

the op is perfect for writers who want to invoke a record breaking knee-jerk reaction by gullible people who believe words that they write are factual, or hold true regardless of how little data they have to support their OPINION.  if he wanted to up the wager, name it, i'm sure anyone, ANYONE would take it.

You've missed the point.

The OP can't have an opinion on it.

Tiger has a Tour Card for life.

He achieved that with his 20th win what....51 wins ago?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I bet he will win 10 more Majors and regain his No.1 Status......



I'll take the bet about the 10 more majors.

Shorty lol my point was not that the op was a slow kid growing up, but rather writers such as the one who wrote that article count on people like the op to read it, make judgements on it, and stir the waters...tiger's got nothing to worry about in regards to the tour and playing...

Ditto if he's betting more than the first person to take him up on it.

Sure about that?  I think it's the 20 wins that gives him his career tour card.

Aren't you Ronald with a new name? Sorry if you aren't! I think you'll find tlhat Daly has absolutely zero PGA Tour status. He relies on invitations. He also gets in as past champion in some events.

the OP makes 1 valid point ... TW is not the same player and will not dominate (as he did before).

the OP is way off the mark if he believes TW's B game won't put him in the Top 125 annually.

an interesting question as pointed out earlier is - if TW will still be interested in playing golf if he's not dominant.  But then again, what else does he do?  He's not in it for the money.  He loves the game!

if tiger hasn't won a tournament in two years, he'll probably leave the game on his own accord. that said, i bet you 10 he'll win a major this year.

Well all you tiger fanboy circle jerkers, heres how he finished up:

71

66 72 75 284

Three average rounds and one flash of brilliance. Whoop de fuc_ing doo. As of this post hes tied with 8 other meidiocre souls for 20th place.

So all of you who disagree about his continual steady decline from the top of this game and out of the starshine of greatness - you my friends, as Tiger would say, can "suck it."

My Warmest Regards,

First off, relax, its only February.  All that really matters is the majors.  Second, if you are going to get all upset when people disagree with you, perhaps you should post an opinion piece.

Short game and not the new swing is what seems to be holding Tiger back.

Not at all. His short game is pretty solid, but he can't expect to get up and down from all over the course. If he can find the fairway and green, preferably somewhat close to the flag, he will be dangerous.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
