I didn't say he should quit for the year after the first hole. I said he should quit for the year on his way back, presumably his reservations give him plenty of time to finish the tournament

Right, because you pay no attention to golf, and have probably watched Woods take a dozen swings all years. As usual are basing your pronouncements on what sports analysts are telling you instead of observation. The problem with that strategy is simple: THE GET PAID TO DRUM UP A STORY. IT IS NEVER AS GOOD/BAD AS THEY CLAIM IT TO BE.

That post makes no sense in the context of the quote. I presume Tiger's plain tickets are for no earlier than Monday because I haven't seen him take enough swings?!

The simple facts again:
No Major wins since shooting 81 last year
No serious contention for a Major win since shooting 81 last year
Has commented that his driving is not as good as he'd like
Finished over par twice this year, first time since '99 that's happened
Is now 5 strokes off the lead and 2 over par after 1
