But damn. Tiger had never even made a cut yet on the PGA tour.

made the cut in the US Open and the British Open, with a top 25 in the British. I'd say those are more important that a cut at a regular tournament. He also made cuts as an amateur, made the cut in the Masters and British in 1995, as well as the Motorola Western open. He actually played in his first PGA tournament at the age of 16

Ok.

Lemme know, though. I haven't beaten a nerd's arse in front of his wife and kids in a couple of months.

Also, I will take muh shirt off if y'all want.

How was he supposed to know of he was sitting across from the greatest player since Jack?

You can probably find all kinds of these videos with different sports figures that went on to be great.


doesn't matter what tiger became ... his goal was to win ... is there something arrogant about that goal? ...

I'm not saying Strange wasn't being a dick. He was. I've stated that.

But y'all are acting like he should have known this kid was gonna be "Tiger Woods" as we know him now. Jesus he was a kid who had won US Amateurs and that was it. It's not like there aren't people that do that and then struggle when they first hit the tour. That's what the norm is.
It only looks ridiculous because now we know Tiger was a one in 10 million guy. At the time it would have been ridiculous for strange to treat him as a one in ten million.

But that's separate from him being a dick.

And yeah it's arrogant. It's just that tiger was the one guy that the arrogance was justified. But strange couldn't have know that yet and it would have seemed silly if he actually voiced it. I mean damn what did you expect? "Hey kid you're arrogant but I see in your future 14 major wins so, good on ya mate?"

well to be fair, only a select few golfers have ever won 3 US Amateurs, one of them being Bobby Jones. And Tiger winning multiple US Amateurs hadn't been done since Jack Nicklaus, unless you want to include Gary Cowan (won hist first at age 28 and his second at age 33) and Jay Seigal (won B2B Amateurs at age 40). Tiger winning three straight is basically unprecedented in the modern age of golf. He wasn't just any US Amateur champion. He also won the Junior Amateur at age 15, winning three staright Junior Amateurs as well. To say he was a phenom at age 20 is an understatement. I personally think Strange, along with others on tour, felt threatened by Tiger, as they should have been.

I personally think they say his fire and passion, and they tried to kill it and take that from him by their smugness and attempts like this of "intimidation."

It didnt work

Yall must not know anything about interviews. Curtis was fine. He wanted to bring out what the kid was all about.

generally, when you're trying to get someone to open up in an interview, you don't act like a pompous dick and then laugh at their answers with a smug grin. i honestly think tiger handling it like he did was very mature for a 20 year old.

The only commentary he's doing is as a fairway reporter. And he shouldn't be doing that. He's a first class prick.

You think it's ridiculous for a competitive athlete to expect to win? You think he would be what he became with a defeatist attitude that early in his career? Your take on this is absurd




Exactly. Why the frick would it bother anyone on tour that someone wants to win?

So, Curtis, what do you expect out of this tournament this week?

I just hope I can make the cut!

Who on tour thinks like that? No one.

Tiger is not only one of the greatest golfers of all time, but he's also one of the biggest pricks. He gets exactly zero sympathy from me.
