Palmetto Proving Grounds

I guess he learned his lesson when he played on a broken leg and achieved one of the greatest athletic performances of all time. Hate on though.

he will win at augusta! there is no doubt in my mind. Keegan Bradley and Rory andTiger onh the back 9 should be fun!

OP's strained vagina should keep him from posting for 2 weeks, imo.

Guy hasn't won a PGA sponsored event in over 2 years and yet there is no doubt he will win the Masters.

Gotta love the childlike idolization.

I'll bet he is in contention at Augusta.

He was a train wreck last year and turned it on that week to make a charge.

If you've followed Augusta through the years, you know certain players know how to play that course. Experience matters there more than any place.

Jack came from nowhere to win at 46 and made a charge four years later. Freddie finds a way to compete when he does
nothing else.

If you really have followed Tiger, his swing
and ball control is light years ahead now of where it was last year. LIGHT YEARS.

IF he can get his putting back and he is
healthy, he will be a factor there. Too many positive things with his swing and recent performances to not think a healthy Tiger
will find a way to contend.

It is not child like obsession on my part. It is watching a guy that is starting to get control of a completely new swing.

No doubt is a little strong but Tiger owns the scoring record at Augusta and finishes fourth last year, during what could be considered his worst year as a professional. He seems to always be in contention and there is a reason why Vegas likes him.

Regain form aka drop that crap Nike putter and go back to the Scotty Cameron he won all those tournaments with

I thought he wrecked his SUV.

David duval too.

Agreed. That's why I can't go along with him being the favorite heading to Augusta, healthy or not. Of you're not putting well that is the last place you want to be. Assuming he's healthy I have little doubt that he will be in the mix on the weekend. Whether or not he's a serious threat will hang on the putter and the short game. I always figured that thru the injuries and the swing change he'd have that short game to lean on. But his confidence got rattled and when that happened he lost that part of his game too. The swing seems mostly fine now. He just has to make putts.
I remember one stat from that that '05-'08 range or thereabouts where he went something like 3 years and 800+ putts in a row of not missing anything from under 4 feet. Thats insane. That's what won him tournaments. It wasn't length. It wasn't intimidation. Those things helped sure but it was ability to seemingly make every 5 footer for par that was his bedrock. That's all mental.

Feeling the same pain, does he drop out of The Masters? Feeling the same pain, does he quit this past week's tourney if he's up by 3 strokes?

no one knows the true amount of pain he is in or his pain threshold, but this isn't the first time he's dropped out of a tournament for "pain" while he happened to be shooting a poor round.

I agree. If he was in the lead, would he have dropped out?

I realize Tiger is the greatest golfer in history. I think he'll make a run at Jack's record, and he will probably surpass Jack in the major's, but for what it's worth, Tiger has little class.

He treats people very poorly. I saw him at his first Master's when he was an amateur and he was extremely rude to people and to the press. He's had an attitude problem ever since. This does not take anything away from his golf game, but it does take a lot away from how I feel about him as a fan.

I realize it must be difficult to deal with that kind of fame and that type of demand on his time. Some people deal with it with grace and some do not. Just my opinion, but I feel that Tiger falls into the latter category.

I am sure Tiger will win again, and win many more tournaments. He has been near the top 5 or top 10 in many of the tournaments he has entered. This alone tells me he is still a great player. He is just not a great person.
