[Abu3baid]

The rumor is Tiger has been playing "great". And he has his "edge" back. Sounds like game on ,next stop Augusta!

Who is spreading this rumer? Other than you that is?

You may of heard of Him. His name is Tim Rosaforte from the golf channel . As reputable ad it gets.

That sounds like it is some sort of coded message - I wonder what they could mean

We will find out soon right? If he plays well then it will all make sense, if he doesn't play or plays poorly it will be used to make fun of him for a while.

Yes I am a huge Tiger fan. But I really expect him to play well at the Masters. He knows that course as good as anyone. I am not saying he will win. But he will be in contention come Sunday afternoon.

Here is the original piece, Yahoo referenced BI, who referenced the direct source.

This is perfect timing because I'm developing a game show called: "Is This a Description of Tiger Woods's Game or Maverick's Flying in Top Gun?"

I know, we're working on the title.

[nevets88]

In the video, Rosaforte said he thinks Woods will practice @ Augusta next this week so we'll know then.

I was thinking of Top Gun as well.

Care to make it interesting?

If he had better then 50-1 odds ,I would be all over it. I read a interesting article about the gambling side of it. Tiger really should be 250-1. They figure at 50-1 the odds arent good enough for a lot of interest. At 250-1 a golfer might get a few bets, but enough to hurt the casino if they win. But at 250-1 a lot of money would come in on TW, and if he wins the casinos are screwed. So that is why it wont go higher than 50-1

I'm pretty sure that a lot of the talking heads including Rosaforte have said pretty much the same thing multiple times already this year and so far it has been basically a disaster.  So, my position is pretty simple.  Until Mr. Woods can prove in competition that he is healthy and his game is in good shape I am going to go with he isn't ready and/or healthy.  I Considering what has been going on recently, If Tiger plays in the masters and makes the cut I would consider it a win for him.  Anything else would be gravy.  I won't go as far as shocked but I would be pretty surprised to see him in serious competition on Sunday at the masters.

I truly hope the rumor is true about Tiger getting his edge back. Nothing wrong with seeing Tiger joking and laughing in his PCs back in January, but that's the Tiger I want to see when he's 50, not 39. I want to see the Tiger who is determined and has that "Swagger" back in him. Someone who's serious about getting his game back and winning tournaments. That Tiger's been missing for a long time now.

Agreed, Tiger doesn't need to laugh with other players. He needs to tell them to get the F out of the way, this is my house. And have the look that says " you know you guys are playing for 2nd place".

That might be tough to pull off, given that it hasn't been "his house" since 2005!

Nice. Lovely.

Or, he just needs to hit fewer shots than the other players.
