What is the key word in your post? I'll give you a hint: "wins".

He dominates the field to the point that he can play it safe and coast conservatively to the finish and you infer this is a bad thing? Interesting.

Just pointing out how he needs a 3 shot lead to win now.


Yeah, because establishing a 3 shot lead going into the final holes isn't impressive or anything!

PJ said he wouldn't get 100 wins or the record for majors....book it Tiger has got this.


All he did was win on the same course he has won on 7 other times. Everybody wins on courses they know well.

It doesn't matter, he's going to say whatever he can to discredit Tiger's wins


This. VegasPro is a tool in these TW threads. He says Tiger is not "back" to his "Tiger Slam" days until he wins a major. Tiger won't go back to that dominance IMO, but he will be signficantly better than everyone else on tour for a few years. To say Tiger is not "back" until he wins a major is just as asinine as saying he IS back when he wins one.

Tiger is the best golfer in the world. What happens in three weeks does nothing to prove or disprove that notion, despite what VegasPro may believe.

He's clearly playing these holes a certain way bc he has 3 and 4 stroke leads. If he was tied or one up he'd much more aggressive but it'd be stupid to even risk water when you can shoot a double bogey and still win

Don't they play pretty much the same courses every year? Rotating the majors at courses they have played before also except for the masters? Yeh i think that means Tiger knows the other courses pretty well also. 3 wins this year. Anyone else have 3 this year?

I really hope Tiger wins all 4 majors this year so that everyone can just shut up. In fact, I hope he wins all 4 majors the next 5 years.

How many players even have 8 tour wins period, much less on one course?

Tiger and I would say Sneds but he hasn't been great since returning from rib injury.

With the way Tiger is playing right now, he has to be an overwhelming favorite at Augusta.

Of course he will be. He's a member, he knows the course so well.

Same

I'll go out on a limb and say Russell Henley as a dark horse. I'd love to see Angel Cabrera make a run

If Tiger wins at Augusta, no way VB gives it any credit due to it being at a course he's won at multiple times before.

I think Tiger was 3 to 1 odds to win the Masters, next closest was Sneds at 15 to 1.
