“For whatever reason, Tiger doesn't prepare for majors as hard as he could,” he said. “He plays the course in a rushed way maybe once or twice before the tournament week, then in the tournament week Tiger has gotten into a routine of playing nine-hole practice rounds on some days.

The calm before the storm.

Tiger's resurgence is coming.

I know at the Masters he would show up late and only play 9 during the practice rounds. Of course, he was right at the top until he hit the flag stick and then cheated, so it didn't seem to hurt him too much that week.

He's right. He used to get there earlier and really prepare for that one tourney.

I want him to win the next major by ten strokes just so all of these numbnuts that he's fired over the years will shut the hell up for a week or two.

I read this today and AGREE..... NO WAY he gets to 19 majors, let alone 18...............

Meh... I get what he's saying, but maybe Tiger just doesn't think his body can take as much

In my opinion he just doesn't have an edge anymore. Sure he can play well one week and win but he has nothing that is dominate in his game anymore.

In his prime, TW had the best short game I've ever seen. He could get it up and down from anywhere and the Scotty Cameron was magic.

Now he's average at best from 130 and in and I can't remember the last time he made a meaningful putt in a major. I don't see him winning #15, much less #19.
