Tiger's 2017 Season  

107 members have voted

  1. 1. How will Tiger fare this season (assuming he remains healthy)?

    • Awful. He will miss a lot of cuts. He might not even make it through the whole season.
      23
    • Not great. He'll make a few cuts but nothing more.
      9
    • So-so. He might see the weekend more often than not, but nothing better than perhaps a couple of Top 20s.
      11
    • Not Bad. He makes many cuts, and even contends a little early on in the week but usually fades. No wins, but maybe a couple of Top 10s.
      21
    • Good. He shows flashes of his former self on the weekend often, and he contends several times. Maybe even a couple of Top 5 finishes.
      23
    • Really good. He plays well often, and he breaks through with many top finishes and even a win.
      15
    • Great. He contends more often than not, gets at least a win, and even contends at the majors.
      4
    • Superb. He makes a return to the old Tiger. Wins multiple times, one of them even being a major.

It's not certain that the issue he's having right now was caused by his violent swing or the SEAL training, I would think that's a big reason he is where is right now.

Oh brother.

Dude, nobody's denying anything. You have no recent information - and a statement that it's not nerve pain - disputing that it's nerve damage.

That's all I'm saying.

I'm on record elsewhere as saying he's done. Ultimately, I don't really care why. I'm in a "show me something".

Wow, everyone gettin their feelings hurt on a T.Woods conversation. Whats the point really in gettin worked up about it. Lets all just watch and see what happens. Who cares about the outcome. His glory or downfall effects non of us. Even if he makes a comeback it would be years before he even made it to the top 10, and we all know there aint that much time left. Also he doesn't strike me as the instructor type. LSS, he might win an event, but it wouldnt be one where all the big dogs showed up.

I'm not worked up about anything.

I don't think anyone else is, really, either.

I'd caution you against reading tone of voice into plain text.

I do not believe TW's will ever be a competitive golfer on the PGA Tour again. Certainly not competitive to his standards, but I mean no top 20 finishes. Period. Masters? He'll either not p lay at all or shoot +6 by Friday and go home.

I know I said short and painful, but I thought he'd last a little longer than that.

Hopefully he gets fixed up for Augusta.

If he plays good he is back, if he shoots 77s and misses cuts, his back hurts. There is the cliff notes. Perez is right that TW knows he can't beat anyone right now.

I am not nor have ever been a huge fan of Tiger Woods. I can't be sure, but I may even have played golf with his father in Italy when I was stationed with the NATO forces there.  In any event, despite his malady, I would not count him out entirely. Odds are against him, but others have miraculously pulled through greater circumstances than he.  He may have to make huge adjustments to his game, be a lot more cautious and less spectacular, but one never knows.

I think that if tiger finds a way to stay healthy for longer than 7 competitive rounds, he can possibly get back close to how he played in 2013-2014. But i think his winning major days are over.

I don't expect that to happen for about a week or so.

He still feels like he might as of now. I honestly think he's closer to playing since he's attending the champions dinner.

No. No he doesn't.

    • The MTB Prime and Prime X had issues with the cover being too soft and getting cut too easily. They said it was more prevalent in the Prime than the Prime X which I found odd because that was the exact opposite of my experience.
    • Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out. 
    • Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though. 
    • Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part. 
    • FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
