His ambitions probably surpass his abilities these days. He can say he's there to win, and of course that's what he wants to do, but his chances are still low all things considered.

Eh. These guys can joke around and still play incredible golf. Tiger won over 80 times because he was the best golfer in the field by far, not because he never joked around.

He's not scaring them because he's a below-average pro now. Simple as that. I'm all for him having some fun - he is playing with house money!

Yeah, we are not seeing the same thing. Difference between joking a bit and messing around.

Way too early for that. Had he been struggling to get above buck sixty ball speed, I would have an inclination to agreeing with you.

Tiger needs to focus more on NOT making bogeys rather MAKING birdies.

Just look at who missed the cut and tell me Tiger is below average. He hasn’t played a tournament since last summer. Pretty good IMO.

I really don't get the outrage displayed by some for Tiger's prank. But I guess people are crazy these days and they can find plenty of company on social media to get whipped up into a frenzy with. I'd actually love to get inside someone's head to understand the root of their outrage but I likely don't know anyone so petty. 

 

Like it or not the 200th in driving distance on the pga tour is still ahead of the number one driver on the LPGA.

He made it on the number. Fine, let’s call it average.
 

He’s still a freakish talent, but my guess is that with his broken down body, his odds of making a cut or winning a tournament are no better than an average golfer on the pga tour. IMO, they should be a lot lower than the top golfers today (Rahm, Rory, etc.), thus he doesn’t scare the ‘em.

Of course, impossible to really know because he’ll never play a full schedule again.

So Lee Trevino throwing the snake over to Nicklaus and both of them having a laugh in a major championship playoff, that's just bad/dumb/whatever? They're not true competitors?

I'm still processing the fact that Tiger walks around with tampons in his pocket..

Tiger's been carrying that in his pocket for 2 years, just waiting for the perfect moment to hand it to JT.  He finally outdrove him.

Unfortunately, whether he meant it or not, he's denigrating women's golf.  

The positive out of this is that after all these years Tiger is lightening up.  You never would have seen that in his prime when he was always deadly serious.

Yeah, I don't see it that way. It's a fact that women hit it shorter than men. So… whatever.

If he had given him a pacifier would the babies on Twitter have thrown a fit? 😄

I do see it that way. Guessing your daughter outdrives a lot of guys her age and many, many men.  Bit of a childish prank for a 47 year old man.

If, as Erik mentioned, Tiger had handed JT a pacifier, that would have been really funny and nobody would have been offended.  100% of toddlers using a pacifier would have just flicked some mashed potatoes at Tiger.

"Come on" what?  I have two firefighter friends who happen to be women... Kathy and Lorelei.  They bested all the men they went up against in the physical tests to get their jobs.  Are they outliers?  No.  They are just in good shape and work out regularly.  Sure, women on the whole, do not have the physical makeup of men.  But that is not a good reason for Tiger to pull a sexist prank.  BTW, he did quite well today with a 67.  I award him 2 tampons.

Of course. I don't care if he doesn't win. But it would bug me if that's his mindset now. He has plenty of gas left in the tank and more importantly, It goes against the Tiger anthem. He is the one insisting he can still beat everyone.

Apples to Onions. That was always Trevino's MO - precisely designed to distract, not to chum it up with Nicklaus or whoever..Gamesmanship.

Nicklaus also famously asked LT to zip it (politely, I am sure) one time at the start of a round I think.

Nicklaus was joking around with him. Right before a playoff for a major championship.

It wasn't one-sided.

Plus, attend a tournament, and watch the guys. They joke around, they talk, etc. during rounds. They're slow. They have a LOT of time out there.

      Day 224 (13 Dec 24) - Friday men’s group session / teamed up with course greens keeper and his assistant.  Was a very “meh” round as I underplayed the putter more than anything.  Driving was okay, irons were good. Wedges were strong - even had a couple green side pitches rattle the flag and lip out for near miss birdies.  Fun part was we were busy repairing pitch marks - like three to each one we made.  Best lesson was really seeing the course from the perspective of the ones’ who take care of it.

      My Swing (Ajw426)

      By HitemHard ·

      I might describe "engaging the legs at setup" a little differently. I'd say to bend at the ankle a bit more to get the knees more towards the balls of the feet. It actually looks better in your old set-up and wouldn't be the cause of a sway. A sway is when...well it's when you do in the backswing what you are currently doing with your knees/legs in the downswing. When your knees move laterally away from the ball it will cause you to move your center of rotation...your spine... back behind the ball and make it almost impossible to get back to the ball in the downswing. As for your knee action in the downswing, that's causing you to get no benefit of the ground forces and wasting a lot of potential for speed through impact. How should the knees work? Think about jumping straight up with your feet close together. Your ankles bend forward, your knees bend and you push straight up through your pelvis and body. Now stand with your legs apart like in the golf set-up and think about if you wanted to jump to the left. You would still bend both legs the same way but you would push up through your right leg harder than your left and again, you would push up the leg into the pelvis. Now do the same jump to the right. More push up the left leg into the pelvis than with the right. That's what your left leg needs to do through the downswing to use the ground forces. Your left leg will push your left pelvis back and behind you as you come into impact instead of straightening after impact. I hope that makes sense.
