Seems like every 2 seconds, watching the Open, the announcers mention Tiger Woods. Enough already. I know they love Tiger and wish he was back but the truth is that he's done and will, IMHO, never win another major. It's Mcilroy's to win now and Woods has nothing to do with it.

I actually haven't heard much Tiger talk at all on the NBC broadcast. The few times they have it's been like "Rory is playing Tiger-like" and things like that, but they haven't been talking about him no being there or speculating on when he'll be back or talking about his run at the Masters.

I haven't heard the word "Tiger" that I remember yet today. Or most of the rest of the week.

All I remember them saying about Tiger was comparisons of Rory's performance to Tiger's records.  But I guess I thought the discussions on NBC were about Rory, not Tiger.

Yeah, I'll believe the other guys over you.  You just joined today and every single one of your messages bashes Tiger.  Which essentially means that except among a very small coterie of posters you have 0 credibility.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I agree but - like someone else posted - you yourself have commented on Tiger or referenced him in every single one of your first twelve posts on this web forum! I'd bet that people who hate Tiger make mention of him more than his fans...

He can't take credit for that. A moderator or admin must have given him that avatar...

I found it funny how Tiger wasn't even interviewed during any of the broadcast that I saw.      I guess he didn't want to take away from what Rory was doing, but I would have thought his face would have been on the Golf Channel somewhere over the weekend ...

You mean you expected Tiger to call in or something on the telecast? Doesn't sound like a Tiger thing to do...

Yeah, why talk about one golfer who obliterated a US Open field while another guy is obliterating a US Open field - there's no connection at all there.......wait....

Why?

Why should he be interviewed?

Nicklaus was interviewed. He's retired and demonstrably the best player in history.

Tiger is not retired. He's demonstrably the second best player in history.

Why wasn't Tom Watson interviewed? Why not Nick Faldo?

Do you think that someone who wished he was playing would WANT to be interviewed? It's not his fault he wasn't invited to.

Seeing the way thay course was playing would have broken poor Tiger's heart.

The implication in lots of these threads is that Tiger is mean spirited and won't give other players credit.

IS he supposed to ring up the networks and demand to have air time? And he did congratulate Rory anyway.

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

I don't remember hearing much about Tiger the entire weekend.  He was only mentioned during the comparisons, when he made is commnet on Rory's play and again, during comparisons.

We just saw one of the best Golf performances on TV since Tiger's performance at Pebble in 2000.  Of course his name would be mentioned at some point or another.  Comon now...

      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."
