This just in, Terry Bradshaw thinks John Elway is a punk if he doesn't play for the Colts this year if they draft him.

Tigers attitude was the reason he was so dominant.

That's also the reason golf is declining. The PGA Tour is missing this arrogance from the top players (Reed has it, but hes not a "top" player". It makes people watch.

I think if you put Tigers mental game into the body of some of today's players, they'd dominate.
-McIlroy, Day, etc.

That's why he's the GOAT.

Jack had it too. Jack was able to hide it and smile in interviews etc etc, but he had a dart board of Arnies face near his wet bar at his house. It took an arrogant belief to come into the game and challenge a legend like he did

Threeputt has done more for golf than anybody on this site. He's my friend, a great golfer, and a good man.

I want you to apologize, and think about being nice to people in these threads from now on.

What Net said. And I've known 3 putt since he was a wee lad scorching the links of the 'Dale.

He was mad at Tiger for expecting to win, and mad at him for saying he looks at second and third with disgust

You both realize you're arguing something that literally didn't happen, right?

Tiger didn't say he "expected to win." Strange asked him about his goals for the week, and Tiger said he wanted to put together four solid rounds, and a victory "would be awfully nice" too. He then said that entering tournaments trying to win should be everyone's goal.

It doesn't mean that he "expected" to win. It just means that that's what his goal was, and that's what he was trying to accomplish, which should be what everybody is trying to accomplish. I guess you could maybe argue that it was a lofty goal, like maybe a good goal would've been to make the cut or something, but it's not like he was expecting anything in that interview, nor was he coming off as cocky and brash, as Strange put it.

IMO Strange just didn't like that Tiger was confident in his game and actually thought he could come out and win his first tournament, when "other guys that have been out there for years" struggle to win just once or a few times in their careers.

God forbid if a kid has some confidence and lofty goals...frick him, right? Golf would be much better off if more people had the same ideals as 20 year old Tiger did.

I'm not saying that Strange wasn't trying to be a dick. He was.

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

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.

Strange comes off as a smug pos in that interview. Forget the topic or who he is sitting across from.

What he says makes it even more ridiculous, though.

Doesn't mean you shouldn't apologize.

And he was correct. It was absolutely ridiculous for anybody - including tiger himself - to expect the kid to win that week. Tiger finished 60th so Curtis was correct by saying second or third would not have been too bad

and after the Greater Milwaukee Open, he had 6 top 5 finishes and 2 wins...as a 20 year old. Hinsight is 20/20 and 999/1000 Curtis would have been right. There's no way he could or should have expected for Tiger to end up being what he was, regardless of his potential. Strange did come off as an a-hole in that interview, though.

Even if Tiger won zero tournaments in his career, Strange was a douche canoe in the interview. Every athlete should have the attitude Tiger had
