So was Jack... for a time.
What I refer to as oxidation, or what is commonly referred to as age... wounds all heals.
His comeback has been nothing short of miraculous and a credit to his will to succeed. We should all have that desire.
Considering the strength and skills of the young studs on the tour today, he may not win another tournament but he will definitely be a contender in any event he enters....
I wish him lots of luck and am glad he's back on the tour. It's worth watching again......
Who in the heck is this Kaslin guy? His posts show intelligence and a deep understanding of Americanculture.
That said, note that the Masters didn't show former champ Fuzzy Zoeller for one single frame during the Par-3 tournament. Tiger -- who, rather than accept Fuzzy's apology, ran off and hid at Phil Knight's cabin for 2 weeks -- wore the same Nike red shirt from his last Master's win in '05.
So, did Nicklaus win another Masters after '86? Or another major? Well, no and no.
When Tiger's tally ends at 15, remember that he had a major assist when Molinari put it in Rae's Creek and then struck wood on Sunday -- an implosion worthy of Nick Foldo.
You realize Laskin is linking opinions from other people?
This one was written by Larry Elder.
For sure Kasim is smart to see the value of these opinions and kind enough to take the time to post them here for us to read.
I would never read most of them is not on here

Darn auto

None come near what Tiger has between the ears. If his health holds up, I look for relative dominance once again. I realize that’s a big if. I’ll go with 3 more wins this year including another major.
I'm certainly not betting against it.......
Those guys are monsters and belong in the NFL..........
The gal who won hit, Phyllis Meti, hit a drive of 413 years.....LOL!
The man came back from a spinal fusion just 2 years ago.
If Molinari hadn’t imploded, Tiger would not have won the masters this year.
And he has had 24/7/365 to hone his new swing and unlimited resources to super fine tune all his gear to his new condition. He has done a great job but it is no miracle.
Tiger had spinal fusion surgery. Pretty miraculous he can play professional golf let alone win the Masters. Very happy for him. He made a nice comeback in life from a pretty hole.
I agree that it was more Molinari losing than Tiger winning. Tiger played just well enough to stay in it and take advantage of mistakes. However, Nick Faldo did not implode at the Masters. I think you are thinking of Greg Norman, who had a 6-shot lead in the ginal round. The Shark imploded, and Faldo waltzed in for the win.
That’s all part of the game. You can only hold your own act together.
When all that crap went down with him and his ex, I told everyone, it will be at least 5 years before he’s truly a force in Golf again... MINIMALLY. And that was before all the injuries and other things....
Ended up taking a decade. I am not surprised to see he fought his way back.. but it just as easily could have been (particularly because of the injuries) that he may never have come back.
However, just from the psychological standpoint, it was going to be years, before he would be able to really return to top performance after all that self inflicted drama.
Don’t care! Told you so!
Maybe a better person after all this?
I believe Tiger was wrong not to accept his apology and as such Fuzzy lost all of his endorsements.
