This streak (142 'cuts made' in a row) is one of the greatest streaks in sports, perhaps the greatest, imo. Presently, Ernie Els has the longest 'cuts made' streak --- 20!

Good luck, Ernie.

Yeah no kidding. Besides I'm sure Tiger likes being out of the limelight sometimes to tend to his marriage. Waiting for a tiger cub. He needs to get going my mother insists *lol*

And who can forget that 6-foot putt in the 2000 PGA Championship to force a playoff,

I believe it was this putt that I was watching in an airport bar. The place was pretty busy and those watching the tube gave a collective "WOW" when he made it. Made everybody else who hadn't been paying attention watch for the replay.

I love to watch pro-golf. I love to be amazed. And I find satisfaction when I also see them make a bad drive or putt. Massages my ego just a little bit....LOL

Golf is not a sport. It's a pastime, a hobby, a stroll through the grass....

It's an amazing achievement but it's not the greatest streak ever, not even in golf. Nelson's 18 consecutive wins would have to be the best. I would put Tiger's four consecutive major wins higher as well. Joe DiMaggio's hitting consecutive hit streak would also be higher.

This news will give the tour plenty of ink, so they don't mind that he won't be around to boost ratings this weekend. When they do see how low ratings are without Tiger, they'll ensure the steroid glamor king goes on another 142 cut streak.

If Tiger Woods made 142 consecutive cuts over seven years, then this computes to only 20 tournaments a year. Is that standard for a PGA golfer?

One of the greatest, yes, but it pales in comparasion to DiMaggio's 56 game streak or Ripken's consecutive games streak....I would put it right there, actually, at number 3....

I really don't have an opinion as to whether golf should be considered a sport or not (I've never so much as picked up a golf club). But I once heard a sports commentator say that in his opinion, a sport is any athletic competition between players or teams, in which a player or team has to react immediately to and defend immediately against what another player or team is doing.

Tiger's game has been off since he got married. Take one look at his bride, and I don't blame him at all for his mind being off his golf game! ;-)
