When Tiger first joined the tour, most of the players hit the bar after the round. With his athleticism kicking the crap out of them, those guys changed going to the the bar into going to the gym.
Tiger’s still a top 10 talent, but in his run of wins, he didn’t compete against guys that could hit it just as long as he could. Length intimidates, but this new breed of golfer can hit it just as far. So, Tiger is back, but he may never win another major because of the level of golf he brought to the game.
I agree with this 100%. I think he will play well again, and win on tour- probable this year. Is he going to be "Tiger" again? no, not in my opinion. He admitted this week that he and Phil "don't have that many left" in terms of major chances. That is not the Tiger Woods that dominated golf and said he wouldn't show up unless he could win. And despite 123456hokie being the only person on earth to disagree- golf is deeper and more competitive now than it's ever been. There is more parity, there are more top flight international and now asian players. The field is much deeper than when he won the masters in 1997. Speith shot two rounds under 67 this week and finished 3rd. David Toms, a mentally weak Duval, DA points, Davis love this is not.[/quote]
Well, at least you've changed your tune and recognize that he may actually win a tournament this year. That's progress. Now if we could just get you to not twist people's words we'd be alright.
Now which was it. A strong field of no names or a weak field of name players finishing top 10? Hard to keep your thoughts straight on this one.[/quote]
Nobody is twisting your words. You were wrong about the Bahamas indicating Tiger was " back" , and you are wrong about parity on tour. Flat wrong on both. I could post that I look exactly like Brad Pitt 100 times. Same thing you are doing. And link me to where I said Tiger wouldn't win an event on tour this year. Thanks.
