Tiger Woods Master Catch-All Discussion

[Wally Fairway]

he looks like he's 75 years old, walking like that

[Zeph]

Seems fishy. Maybe Hero in December then.

Not good, but he did say he felt good and those who watched him play said he looked solid, so I guess we’ll see.

I don’t know. I just read Bob Harig’s article on ESPN and he said he looked good so that’s someone other than Tiger saying it.

I hope you’re right. I might come across as anti-Tiger, but I’m not. I just am skeptical of what his long term post-operative capabilities will be.

I’m not too worried about long term. Dude is over 40 already. Four years. That’s about all that matters.

De - Nile!

Definitely walking better today. Does seem to be swinging it a little easier than he was earlier in the year, but other than that, he looks fine thus far which is good.

[Zeph]

He didn't get a chance to defend at East Lake, so the 18-19 season is over. Though many would say he disappointed in a lot of the events, he won a major, which was a first since the U.S. Open in 2008. 

 

He'll be part of the Presidents Cup, one way or the other.

that's explains quite a bit -

simple knee carilage repair is MUCH better than more spine stuff

[Zeph]

Hopefully he's ready for next season (Masters), but even if they are optimistic, he's still 43 with a long career in golf. One just has to hope for the best and enjoy it when his body is cooperating and he's playing well. He might cut down hard on number of events to be ready for the majors. One tournament means a lot of swings that could hurt his chances at majors.

It's really too bad. He's been fighting these injuries for so many years now, and still comes back every time as one of the currently best players in the world. It would have been cool if he'd stayed healthy those years instead. Jack's record would be smashed I think.

As noted here, yeah:

 

[Yukari]

IMHO, it would have been better to let someone else play.  He should play a PGA tournament instead to better prepare for a major.

Just my 2 cents.

[iacas]

Also it was pointed out today he’s been signing them all that way since April.

[Zeph]

Ehh. The Masters is still 4 months from December. If he thinks he can play and wants to play, why not.
