I wanna know how I even came across Prime Tiger in the first place. Does time travel exist? Can I tell him about what happens to him a la Marty Doc in Back to the Future?

I'll take the shot at $100m. If I fail, 72 holes with Prime Tiger on a sick course somewhere sounds worth $1m to me.

 


"Dear Tiger, at 1:30am on the night I go back you will be shot by terrorists. Just kidding, but no seriously though, your body is an absolute mess by the time you're 40. You have severe back pain starting in 2014, a career ending car accident in 2021 at Riviera (dude, learn how to drive), and uhhh let's just say you might wanna pump the breaks on those "extracurricular activities" you enjoy so much (I know, bro). 

Also, remember what I told you about AimPoint and the ball flight laws. Your friend in time, Jetfan1983."

I believe the loss in that bet is a year in jail, correct? I’d take the $1MM.

Tiger Woods, a 15-time major champion, has not ruled out making a stunning return to competitive golf at the 2026 Masters Tournament in April. This, despite ongoing recovery from major back surgery and a lengthy absence from the PGA Tour.

 

Speaking Tuesday at Riviera Country Club, the 50-year-old Woods addressed speculation about his comeback when asked directly by a reporter if playing in this year’s Masters—starting April 9—was off the table.

“No,” he replied.

Hang 'em up, man.

I mean, he has earned the right competitively to do whatever he wants. But, sheesh… he's not going to be competitive. Just hang 'em up. It's sad to watch. It taints the good days.

Agreed. No one can take any joy in watching him limp around 36 holes to miss the cut.

He seems more open than previously to the Champions Tour, so we might get to see him hitting shots in a (kind of) competitive environment with the aid of a buggy before long.

I get he thinks he can compete, but it's time to enjoy retirement. Get involved in golf in other ways. Go design hundreds of new courses. Expand the game. Maybe tee it up at the Majors from time to time. Yea, it is over.

Or Uber, or Lyft, or walk. $100k a year would get you a pretty darn good driver I would think. He probably has that much in his couch cushions

Tiger Woods was arrested on suspicion of DUI following a car crash Friday in which he struck another...

Possibly under the influence of medication.

Yeah I don't really know what to say unless we find out what the details are of his being under the influence

It is possible he was stunned from the crash and that may have made him appear under the influence but refusing the urinalysis was cause to arrest.

What I did not see in any article was if anything was found in a search of the car.

    • I enjoyed the distance wedges episode. It's something that I've not really taken the time to figure out for sure, but I went to a local trackman place over the winter and tested my four wedges (PW, AW, 54, 58) and got four yardages with each one. I am using Dan Grieve's method - you have a 1, 2, 3, and "full". The number references the number of clubhead widths between your heels.  I never really got to grips with the clock method - I'd find my 9:00 one day would go 40 yards and the next day 60 yards purely based on how fast I happened to swing it, but I couldn't turn that off and I was basically at sea with the speed method (Wesley Bryan does this - he takes almost a full swing for a 15 yard chip). The Grieve method I set my stance width and that really limits how much my swing moves back and forth and the speed seems to be naturally more consistent.  Anyway, I wound up with four yardages for each club - PW 48, 80, 112, 127; AW 41, 73, 101, 112; 54 36, 57, 91, 98; 58 28, 47, 81, 86 So, in order, I have 28, 36, 41, 47, 48, 57, 73, 80, 81, 86, 91, 98, 101, 112, 112, 127 which gives me a pretty good set of numbers. I do have a big gap from 57 to 73, but I can do a 2.5 58, which is giving me about 64. Then as they noted you can give it a bit more, or grip down on a club too to adjust a little bit. It's really useful and very freeing to just know what to do. When you have a 54 yard pitch, rather than pulling my 58 and thinking how hard is 54, I can just take my 54, do a "2" swing and just grip down a little and I'm in decent shape.  Incidentally, Erik talked a bit about watching Scheffler picking off his yardages to within a yard. I've watched DJ do that too with his wedges. Scottie does it trying to hit it all the way up to like 200 exactly with a 6-iron and he's hitting it 200.5, 199.7, etc. Absolutely mind blowing how good his distance control is. Insane.
