I'll say about Tiger
Posted on 5/20/22 at 2:02 pm

I'll go ahead and say out loud what any sane person is thinking about Tiger.
If his name wasn't Eldrick Woods there would be a fork in him.
He's 46 years old. He has a rebuilt right leg that was almost amputated. It is painful for him to play golf.
Has anyone else noticed that when he talks about all the therapy/treatments/ice baths etc... that he's never said "it's improving"?
There has never been a more exciting Golfer. As I'm writing this he has pulled off another ridiculous shot on the first hole of his second round. How many times did impossible became routine with this guy?
I've been a big supporter and thoroughly enjoyed watching his work for a long time. On the golf course, he was truly like no other.
I wish it wasn't so but I'm afraid we're seeing the "New Normal" for Tiger. It's a challenge for him to walk the courses and it's a struggle to make cuts.
If his name wasn't Eldrick Woods I'd say his time has come and gone.
But I really, really, really, hope there's at least 3 days of magic left for us to enjoy.
EDIT: Originally wrote "left" leg was almost amputated. Sheesh.

If his name wasn't Eldrick Woods, you wouldn't be starting a thread talking about him. But here you are talking about the sport of golf cause Tiger is still playing regardless of competitiveness level.

Why do you feel the need to do this? Of course everyone knows tigers body is breaking down. Besides an outlier in 2019 he’s been done for a while

He's still in recovery. Yeah, he'll never be what he was again, but I think he likely has some better days ahead.

Needs to move on.

He won a major 3 years ago.
Also, Phil showed last year that you can win at 50.
Granted, Tiger's body is in worse shape, but if he wants to compete, he's earned the right to compete until he doesn't want to.

That's a whole lot of words without saying anything. What's your point? He's older and injured so people should stop pulling for him?

People are still talking about Tiger because he is the GOAT….. They will be talking about him long after you and I have departed this earth.

I’ve broken my ankle and needed surgery and still have a bunch of screws in it.
It takes time for it to get more or less back to normal. It took me a couple of years. During that time, it would swell even just walking on it too much or standing for long periods.
It’s a process, and it gets better, but it takes longer than what it’s been since Tiger’s accident.

How so? Babysitter? Donations to him? Phone calls?
You're not a supporter, you are a fan...huge difference.

If he was younger he'd have a shot at a Hoganesque recovery. At 46, Father Time is as big of a foe as the injury.

No shite. Dude almost had his leg amputated a year ago.

He’s one of the greatest champions in the history of sport. Not sure what the purpose of your thread is

He’s about to make his 2nd major cut and he’s outplaying the world #1. Wtf more do you want from him?

His name could be Adolph Hitler and people would still be tuning in to watch him play in majors with what he's done in his career.

Well, there you go. You've put forward the answer to why people still tune in to watch when he's in the field.

People said the same thing after his back surgeries (myself included). Yet, he came out and did "Tiger things" at Augusta in 2019.
I will say I don't know how he's even walking around after all the shite his body has been through over the years, so my expectations for Tiger are very low. But I remind myself (as someone with back issues well before I should have any) this guy won The Masters after multiple back surgeries that would have done 99 percent of people in for good. I'll always root for the guy.
Him making the cut at a major after the kind of damage he took is a marvel of modern medicine/physical rehabilitation. And a lot to do with his will to compete.

You might be the dumbest frick on here and that’s saying a lot.

Tiger Woods was a very good golfer. I’ll never understand how the media and middle aged men fawn over a player way past his prime. He is an average player now. The media simply won’t let it go.

Tiger Woods was the Ultimate golfer at one time, before 2010 he could do NO WRONG. He destroyed people on the golf course from a period of I wanna say 1997 up to 2010 just about. The guy should have not broken Jack Nicklaus's record of 18 majors, but shattered it and left it behind long ago. He should have over 30 majors right now, but that lil incident involving him backing out the driveway into a tree or something. Lmao Well, let's just say he's never been the same golfer since, once feared on golf courses, so feared, golfers didn't wanna show up to face him. Lol I miss that Eldrick Woods, I wish the guy had never screwed up his life because it was truly MAGIC watching him play on Sundays in the final round with that throng behind him. Smh But I guess it had to happen because he suffers from something that we all suffer from called - Human Fallacy.

The biggest problem with Tiger right now isn't his leg, it's his damn putter. I could make as many putts as he made today.
