When will you folks learn? Tiger is done. He had a meteoric rise and is has been fizzling out like a slow moving meteor entering the earth's atmosphere.
Dude has had a pretty tumultuous 3 years since barely losing to YE Yang at the PGA in 2009. Monster personal problems, swing changes, not playing enough. etc.. He was in contention on Sunday at the Masters this year and then got hurt.
And look at all the old fogeys doing well these days? He's got 10-15 more years of being competitive in him. Now I don't think he'll win 14 more, but I think he's got another 5 in him. That's 1 every 3 years until he's 50...which given his commitment to weight training and working out, I think he can do.

with his history of injuries and surgeries, I don't see his leg/hip or whatever holding out consistently to catch jack. I give him 1 more major.

I would give Tiger the benefit of the doubt as far as coming back to his championship form. But golf is 80 percent mental, 20 percent physical. When you were that good for those many years, I just think he's dreaming he can become that again. Too much young talent behind him and just because Stricker is that old, dude is in a groove just like Tiger was in his prime.

Not yet. I still have faith. He is just bouncing back from injury, and is still not comfortable with his swing. Now if he has not won a tournament between the end of 2011 and all of 2012 I concede he is done. But he needs time, and reps. He needs those juices pumping again on Sundays, and not have to worry about his swing. Only time will tell.
ETA: I cannot find it, but is PGA live streaming again today online? And if so does anyone know the groups they are following?

I'm assuming they'll be following Rory's group in the morning and the Stricker group late...

Yup thanks. I found it. I hope Rory can finish the tournament out and not be to bad off after.

DAmn Rory bogied the first. Missed a 3 footer.

Unless Tiger finds his short game. Stick a fork in him. No way he breaks Jack's record.
He's never hit his driver in the fairway. He relied on the best short game in golf history, certainly in my life time, and maybe the best ever to bail him out. He rarely missed a clutch putt inside 10'.
Today his entire game is in shambles and as I've said previously, I'm not convinced Sean Foley is the answer.

It's that horribe swing Tiger has now...he needs to fire that f*cker Sean Foley and go back to Butch, Hank, or anyone else. His swing way too flat and rigid.
This basically describes that you know nothing about the golf swing

As I've said numerous times, he needs to drop Sean Foley like a brick. When Tiger was on he could work the ball either way with power. Now he's not doing that and you hardly ever see him hit a cut. One of the announcers said it yesterday that the only birdies he made were with short irons to left pins (hitting draws). He tried to hit a cut with the 4iron on 15 and that basically derailed his round.

AGREE on ALL counts.

I was just about to post that. Thank goodness for the TNT coverage. 
He either lights it up and makes the cut or those watching get to witness another train wreck.

Yup, should be interesting since the cut keeps rising.

you noticed I didn't say under what huh????

Hell, we all know he could shoot 65 or 75. I just believe 75 is more likely.

No - there is zero chance he shoots a 65 today.
