Fingers crossed for Tiger. I think he should find pleasure in golf, do not try to win .

His pleasure comes from winning.

[pirategolf]

Everyone have pleasure from winning, but it's hard to win without enjoying golf.
No fun now wining - it is my opinion ;o]

Fingers crossed for Tiger. I think he should find pleasure in golf, do not try to win.

Oddly enough, as others have noted, he seems more at ease and friendlier on the course now that his game is in the doldrums, when compared to how he was at the height of his powers.

But is there any point in a touring pro entering a tournament with any objective other than participating to the best of his or her ability?

[pirategolf]

It's not about to be nice to the others. It's about have fun from what I do. Nice golfer winning to - see Andy Sullivan

Kim Kardashian must be one hell of a golfer then

Back to the tournament..... Mickelson, Johnson, Spieth, and Horschel, all need to get their acts together today!

Think Tiger could care less about Golf. He is loaded and enjoying life, his girl, travel, kids, house, etc... Would love to know in comparison Tigers wealth vs Jacks at the same point in career. I would have to think Jack had several million, kids growing up, lots of hard work going on a daily basis and knew he had to continue working hard to build an empire.

Tiger already has one and no matter what he does for the next 30 years he will have more than he or his kids een need.  He is not going to practice like he should or care like he should. Just because a million white guys demand he appriciate his status doesn't mean he will.

Bet it gets worse as he looks to care less because he doesn't need too. Too much compititon and too much hard work is needed and he isn't going to do it...

He doesn't care about the money.

He doesn't care about the fame.

He just wants to win more majors than Jack.  Plain and simple.

More fog in todays forecast, making it less likely to finish the 2nd round today

I'm heading over to the tournament today.  I was checking out what you can and can't bring in.  Wow, it's so restrictive.

I think this is all I can bring:

Seeing his girlfriend come back from two major knee surgeries to be better than ever might be a motivator to keep it going......

Ben Hogan comes to mind, too. He had a pretty big butt, seriously.

This is sad. I think that TW should retire now, rather than risk going through the rest of his life with intolerable back pain. We are in Sandy Koufax territory here, and Koufax at least pitched magnificently right up until the point when he couldn't take the pain anymore. Based on what we are seeing in the past 12 months, there would appear to be no way that Tiger could conceivably break Jack's majors record, and I strongly doubt whether he can even beat Snead's PGA wins record. Many don't want to acknowledge this, maybe least of all Woods himself, but I think it's over. Would Tiger have the guts to call it a day? I honestly have no idea.

My hats off to Billy Horchel.

Whether he believes Tiger's game is close or not, he stuck up for his friend.

He probably said Tiger is doing good things to make him feel better.

Nothing wrong with that.

A class act.

[PatrickMurtha]

My impression is that Tiger has become a lot more likable and is getting along a lot better witrh more of his fellow golfers since he ceased to be super-human and became merely human. He's not some scary monster anymore, just one of the guys.
