Gotta love Dan Jenkins who long ago said "the only things that can stop Tiger from breaking Jack's record is a bad marriage or an injury.."

still a tiger fan...here's to his health

So for the people on here that say he won't win another major what do you say about both Phil and Ernie winning in there early 40's? Obviously Tiger is significantly better than both of them. So why can't he get one or more in his early 40's?

Well, just speaking for myself, I would have also voted that Phil and Ernie (or any individual) wouldn't win another Major at that age.

Obviously doesn't mean that it can't happen (but that wasn't the question).

Just more unlikely than likely in my opinion if I was forced to bet on it. Sometimes you win bets and sometimes you lose bets.

For the record if the question had been who among current players has the best odds of winning a Major after 40 I would have voted for Tiger (even with a bad back). I think he'll figure out a way to swing the club without aggravating his back and I think he's better than everybody else even if not 100% healthy.

Well i'm not sure about this one.

I think we have to see how he comes back in his next tournament.

We all forget how he did last year. Went from place 50 all the way to 1.

in how many tournaments???? 5 starts or something

if he can that form of play i will see him beat jacks record.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
