re: Is Fred Couples the biggest underachiever in golf?

He has the most talent in the golfing world ,and scrambles to make the cut (as of the last year). I think that qualifies him as one hell of an underachiever.

Tiger has some perfectly legitimate reasons for not playing up to his talent level right now. I don't know of any athlete that could go through what he went through (granted it was by his own doing) that would be able to continue to perform at the highest level.

Yes as of TODAY he sucks

This statement is ridiculous. He's ranked 3rd in the world. He definitely isn't the Tiger we're used to, but he doesn't "suck."

I'm talking about the present, and I made that perfectly clear.

This thread was about a career. To take a snapshot of Tiger's career and call him an underachiever is incredibly short sighted. Even if you just want to look at last year, I could find a golfer or two other than Tiger, who finished 4th in 2 majors, to call a bigger underachiever. Sergio Garcia immediately comes to mind.
