I think Tiger believes that the warm embrace from the players, fans, and media at Augusta are somehow going to make up for the shortcomings of the past several months. They won't. He has the yips. You don't get over the yips.

Can you explain this further? I'm not sure how Tiger being friendly with fellow players and his kids is about making up his "shortcomings" with the yips.

That's how you categorize a top-20 finish coming back from an injury and no competitive rounds for 9 weeks? Okay then.

Watched some coverage last evening. El Tigre looked relaxed and ready. He'll make the cut and finish in the top 20.

146 is too low for the cut, remember it's low 50 and ties and those within ten strokes of the leader... not way out of line, if you said par (144), was going to be the cut... I would say you are nuts.

No, not really. He may have the yips, but him having the yips doesn't prove that he was trying to distract people from him having the yips by being friendly.

Yeah because of the angle, I can't tell the difference. I know Mvmac mentioned in one of the threads that there is a difference.

All I know is that he was using the bounce like a pro yesterday. Looked so comfortable.

Look at the difference with how much the shaft has "loaded". Yes definitely using the bounce.

I think Tiger believes that the warm embrace from the players, fans, and media at Augusta are somehow going to make up for the shortcomings of the past several months. They won't. He has the yips. You don't get over the yips.

If he had the yips he wouldn't be able to hit the shots he did yesterday. It would have shown up even in practice.

monday that stunt with firing balls at two greens he wasn't getting very many close at all. And do you think the golf channel would dare show any of his chunky chips (or talk about them) this week, like they did so endlessly leading up to the tournament, when it was deemed news people wanted to see and hear about? the media has no loyalties, they do an about face when it serves their purpose.

You might wanna check the GCTigerTracker, because according to them, he shot three or four under in eleven holes. Seems pretty good to me.

Also, you can't say that the media has no loyalties, and then say that they wouldn't show him chunking chips. That makes no sense.

on which ball? and was he playing o'meara for money? it was also reported he shot in the low-60s at Medalist with his 'worst ball', which even Notah Begay said was unbelieveable.

whether i say it the way i said it, or in reverse, it still applies.

Read about it: http://www.golfchannel.com/news/golf-central-blog/just-old-times-vintage-woods-display-monday/ .

it was also reported he shot in the low-60s at Medalist with his 'worst ball', which even Notah Begay said was unbelieveable.

66 worst ball. Notah said he texted Tiger after hearing Rosaforte's report and Tiger confirmed he shot a worst-ball 66.

These are all things you can look up.

Also, Tiger hasn't shown even the slightest display of the chipping yips yet. And you haven't yet explained what hugging old friends has to do with that anyway…

I have several links to tweets (because I have no f'ing idea how to embed tweets on here because I am a dumb idiot) that will show you his effectiveness on Monday.

Notah texted Tiger to confirm because he didn't believe Rosaforte's report. Only after Tiger told him so, did Notah believe it. Notah was a pro once too.

3-under in eleven holes in a practice round with O'Meara does not a tournament make. Mark will be nowhere near him when the tournament starts.

the report failed to mention his opening drive, which was 45 yards left and on the 9th hole, so it wasn't flawless. it was totally biased.

Lol, pretty sure he birdied that though.....

And I saw many reports eluding to the drive being ungodly left.

      2026 Masters

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html

      Playing Arrowhead Colorado for the First Time

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      I am playing Arrowhead for the first time and I am pumped.  What are some things that I need to make sure and appreciate, for those that have played it before and love it? It has been a pretty dry winter so I am expecting rough to be forgiving which is nice and it will be playing much easier than it does in the late summer (I am assuming based on other colorado courses).  What should I make sure to not miss?
