First Eagle he’s made in a long time right? In Round 3?

He’s 47 now; it’s unlikely he would be as dominant now as he was. That being said, no one had ever seen anything like Tiger. Hard to tell.

The death of his father coincided with a series of bad personal decisions that ended up wrecking his marriage. It is speculative, but it certainly seems accurate that his father dying had something to do with it.

Some people would argue “nothing at all.” There are a segment of people who would say he’s a mid level golfer now and there are plenty of those.

For many people though, golf is really about the stories. Anyone that watched golf for the last 25 years or so knew who Tiger was and watched him change the face of golf. Those people are just happy to see him out there competing.

Tiger’s father was a green beret and when he died Tiger started SEAL training. Not actual SEAL training but very similar exercises. It destroyed his back and he basically had to re-learn how to swing a club without aggravating his back so much.

Then came the accident with his leg which led to another re-tooling of his swing. And he’s still playing incredible golf. After watching yesterday’s round it’s clear he’s capable of winning again.

No doubt in my mind he’d still be a top 5 golfer regularly winning tournaments if it wasn’t for the injuries.

Just wait till his 13 year old son makes the tour.

And it saved his life because of its safety features.

Is three years a long time for him to not win a tournament? I don’t keep up in detail but it seems like he goes away and comes back a lot doesn’t he?

Isn’t he playing in a tournament sponsored by the sort of car he completely wrecked?

If we're talking tennis dominance then it has to be about Nadal and the French Open. I'm not sure there is any other record like it in sporting history.

Nadal has won the title at Roland Garros 14 times in 17 years and his current match record stands at 112-3. He is a legitimate monster - it doesn't even make sense.

okay

Is the merchant of death back with his squad?

No one even watches that lol

America payed Mercury in a trade releasing a criminal that is free and probably making nasty things in Ukraine to watch her play.

1992 I work with a guy that has a wife who was IMGs president’s personal assistant. For a BDay gift they we’re deciding between a Tiger Woods autographed item or a Niki Taylor autograph. Since I was like 22 they figured I wanted the supermodel calendar. I was like thanks but you passed in a tiger woods autograph 😞.

The guy is a legend always has been and always will be so yes he will continue to pull big headlines.

He’s the greatest of all time. No one has ever dominated golf like Tiger did in the 2000s. Despite all his issues, he’s shown he can come back and win (masters 2019). So aside from tuning in just to watch the GOAT, people are watching with the hope to see him be competitive after his gruesome leg injury.

He’s currently 12 shots out of the lead, so he has no real chance to win it today. But it’s a great sign to see him have a good round. He also looks a bit more comfortable walking around the course which has been a big issue since his injury.

One can’t say that they’ve “stood alone” - but Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic have displayed an almost unparalleled dominance over a sport for 20 years.
