i realize he might be the best of all time, he is not now. Just watched him stand on the tee for 10 min, no other shots to follow?
Tiger woods show returns
- Thread starter Norm Petersin
- Start date
guy physically deteriorated at a pretty young age. it has been several years since he was normal = must be that the human body gets so many swings in a lifetime and Tiger is paying the price of starting as a child.
Mikelson is older than Tiger by a margin and still had the capability to be effective even though he has osteoarthritis.
Too early to make that call, I think. This is TW’s first outing in a year. Let’s see what happens at Augusta.
Tiger blew a knee, then changed his swing to compensate. That caused him to have back and shoulder problems. Multiple surgeries later you see him trying to reinvent his game with a new body. It must be very difficult when your brain is telling you 'you can do that', but your body really can't anymore.
He’s not really a relevant golfer anymore. He’s a relevant story because of his past glory, but not really as a current golfer.
Fill me in.
Irrelevant is maybe too strong. But he’s just another player at this point.
There was a time when the mere presence of Tiger would terrorize other players. I remember during one tournament in the late 90's on a short par 5 he drove the ball (with accuracy) 335 yards. Then he used a pitching wedge for the remaining 125 yards and finally drained a 7' putt for an eagle. For a decade the man was simply invincible. This is only my opinion but if he did not self destruct on a personal level he would have caught Nicklaus' record of 18 majors. The poster above is 100% correct today he is just another golfer.
