I have to LOL at some in the media who are pushing this 'just wait, he'll dominate again' meme. He might win a few more majors, but as far as dominating? Doubtful. The fear factor plays a big part in dominating. In the past Tiger knew he would beat his opponents. So did his opponents. He knew that more than likely they would fold (especially on final Sunday). They knew he knew this. Which added even more pressure. It's not like that any more. Guys don't fear him. When they're paired with him they believe they can best him on the day. Their confidence is bolstered, his is deflated. I don't see him ever getting back the fear factor he once had. Oh sure the Golf Channel wants you to believe he wins again and it's back to domination but I don't buy it.
Looks like all those women really were for his golf game.
Theres always the Nationwide Tour.
at what point do they start calling him eldrick? have to start winning if you want to be called tiger
Maybe he became used to the pain killers.
It will always be in the back of their mind.
I saw that interview. He was far more angry than dejected. In fact, the first thing he told the interviewer after walking off the last green was "I'm pissed." I only watched a few holes on the back nine, so I'm not sure if he hurled any of his usual expletives today while banging his clubs into the ground. ...or if he spit on any greens.
All I know is what I see, and Woods’ muscle is not as thick as it was before the scandal hit. Why is that? I’m not making any accusations, but I know I’m looking at a thinner, weaker Tiger Woods.
I agree he needs to play more and I don’t understand him not playing in the Honda. You would think someone on an image rehabilitation tour would want to engratiate the locals and take part. He does live here now. I know his kids are living at “Rocking Horse” (a property he bought and developed for his Mom in Jupiter) and attending The Benjamin School. I assume he’s on Jupiter Island unless he’s still whoring around Orlando.
If you live 20 minutes from the tournament, you should take part. Especially considering the charities involved mostly have the name Nicklaus attached to them.
He will never regain any respect, he will always be tainted by his past. IMO, it shows in his game,
That's complete BS and you know it. Woods plays the majors just like every else and he picks and chooses the other tournaments based on appearance fees just like all the others.........His schedule for this year is approx. 17 tour events, just like everyone else........
As for their appearance (Woods and Mickelson) at the Abu Dhabi, they both received well over a million dollars just for showing up.............
The top golfers today are at such a point in their career that they can easily make more money in appearance fees than from the purses in the tournaments. That being said, it's only the purses they win that determines their overall standings in the PGA so they have to plan their schedules accordingly......
Woods has been a non-factpr ever since his relationship with the blood-doper doctor in Canada was exposed. Coincidence?
Yeah, sure it is.
I doubt that anything can be done, though, because the cure is usually permanent and irreversible.
Tiger needs to head to Canada soon, only 6 weeks before the Masters
Younger and longer guys like 21 year old McIlroy are one reason why Tiger is fading fast. I get so sick on the fan boy media because they fawn over him like they fawn over Obama.
I see Phil won today and the Stewart Cink Ian Poulter match was supposedly a good one.
