Tiger Woods is up by 2 with 1 hole left
- Thread starter Nitwit
- Start date
Hoping he is done after the Cup this weekend. take some time off...get back in the gym and keep that back healthy. 2019 PGA season may very well be the best ever...can't even imagine the TV ratings for The Master's in April if he is healthy.
His exhaustion was probably more so due to the mental and emtional strain expended in order to finally win. This was unlike any tournament he has won in the past. He’s also played a lot of golf in the last month or so.
The guy who really needs rest is Mickelson. They both do. I wonder what day they leave for France. Five hours ahead in Paris, isn’t it? That won’t help.
I believe I heard that they were leaving on a private jet, the entire team, after the tournament. I heard someone asking if Tiger would make the flight because so many people wanted to interview him. Regardless, I think they will be amped up for the event.
I was worried the last few holes..he looked beat. I also thought he would hit 3 iron instead of 3 wood the last 2 par 4's
Tiger was healthy for this year's Masters and was coming off a 2nd place at Valspar. Those ratings when he played Friday afternoon were the highest in 5 years. Now if he's contention on the weekend next year, they will be through the roof.
With the new tournament schedule next year, the hype will start with the Players Championship in March. What he does there will set the stage for the Masters.
Unprecedented in what way? I love Tiger and don’t want to take anything away from what he accomplished yesterday and this season. But Ben Hogan almost died in a collision with a bus. Doctors thought he might not walk again. He spent two months in a hospital. Then he won something like four more majors.
Tiger pretty much won the tournament the first 7 holes on Saturday. He just blew away the field and really only had to hang on from there. It was fun to watch him birdie 6 of those 7 holes....making it look easy, which we know it is not.
Was not even born when Hogan did what he did...good for him. But there are far more better players around now then when Hogan played....and had Hogan got injured now I would bet with todays medical findings doctors would not be saying he wont walk again. Tiger could not tie a shoe less than a year ago....in less than a year he beats the top players in the world....however, other than perhaps Hogan, nothing even comes close.

I’m not and have never been a fan but the dude has been through the ringer and hopefully came out better on the other side. I also think he used/uses PEDs but whatever - people go nuts for him for some reason.
Sure. I’m not denying what Tiger did. Just saying what Hogan overcame at a time when medicine was far inferior to today’s standards is just as incredible. It doesn’t matter what today’s doctors could have done for Hogan. His accident was 70 years ago, not yesterday.
Wasnt alive 70 yrs ago...what Hogan did was amazing I am sure. The hardest game in the world is golf...but I have had back surgery. To hit a golf ball this well after fusion surgery...unreal
I’m not arguing any of your points except calling what Tiger did “unprecedented”. Unless your point is “unprecedented” because of his specific ailment. Then okay. But I think Hogan’s comeback was every bit as amazing. Both stories are fantastic.
