bobbydazzler Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 for me Tiger is and always will be the best. He is the reason the majority of people my age watch and play the game but I do agree now maybe be the best time for him to call it a day 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, and being skelped with a 3 iron by your jilted wife, and drink driving… just fcuking chuck it cunto. 10 hours ago, pozbaird said: OK, take the personal life stuff out of it, and just look at the back issues, knee issues, ankle operations, and a car crash that nearly saw a leg amputated… time to fcuking chuck it. Fair? 10 hours ago, pozbaird said: Steve Williams never knew about them and his boss let him down big time, knowing the story was breaking. I’m quite happy in my opinion that Woods is an all time great, but a kunt. Take the greatest player of all time’s name out of your fucking mouth. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Most geniuses are flawed. He arguably may not have hit the heights he did on the course if it wasn't for his dysfunctional behavioural traits off the course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I wasn't a huge fan of Woods when he was absolutely dominating the game tbh, and I still say Nicklaus was the greatest of all time. I do however think Woods has become less of a dick as he's become a more "ordinary" golfer and I was actually quite pleased he won the Masters thon last time. However he should absolutely retire after this season, his body is quite plainly fucked and I don't think anyone wants to see him regularly rocking up on Sponsors invites to shoot 78-NR every time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky_nomad Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Tiger wants the Masters consecutive cut record on his own, so I imagine the next 11 months of post-op rehab and tournament schedules will be geared towards playing well enough in time for Augusta next year. I don't think anyone will begrudge him that, surely - he deserves the capacity to say goodbye to competing in the Masters on his own terms given how many iconic moments he's created there.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the same. He's clearly not going to get to 18 majors, and he's currently tied for most PGA tour wins with Sam Snead, but any tour win is almost impossible now so he's not going to break that record either. The consecutive cuts at the Masters is the only attainable record left for him to break. I expect he'll play August next year and then retire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The viewing figures for events he appears at, and size of crowds following him Vs other golfers, would beg to differ. Him shooting 78 is still a bigger draw than most of the competition. The PGA Tour will be dreading the day he decides he’s had enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Bob MacIntyre has said he is trying to be more positive on the course and to try not to let the bad shots affect him as much. Certainly seemed to work today as he opened with a 66 in Japan, with David Law and Scott Jamieson on the same mark. Bob dropped 3 shots, but birdied the next hole to get the shot back each time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 And actually, FFS again… Lovely start to the round today, then just a complete meltdown on the 7th. But for that and I’m easily under 90 for the round but ended up with 92. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf a lot of that will be rubber-neckers wanting to watch his ongoing descent to total mediocrity. Hopefully he has a bit of self respect and cans things before he's barely able to break 80. Plus if he looks after himself well and takes time out for treatment and recovery and is even a quarter the player he was, he'd absolutely clean up on the champions tour. At proper PGA level however he is completely finished as a competitive golfer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I wonder if Tiger will play his last Open this year. It's at Hoylake, where he is a previous winner, and that would seem a good place to go out. He could then finish at the Masters next season, either with his cut streak ended or as the record holder. 2 hours ago, Jamie_Beatson said: I means FFS… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I played today. It was noteworthy for being absolutely fucking AWFUL. Couldn't have hit a green with a shotgun 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see it surely with the surgery he’s just had. Would expect him to be out for a good while, potentially until Augusta next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t seem to do him much good today. A +2 with 2 double bogeys within 3 holes. The cut is currently at -1 but youd imagine that will drop to -2 or -3 which would mean Bob’s a goner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 If you ever feel bemused about being a dozen shots different from one round to the next, it happens to the pros too. Mac Meissner hit a level par 71 yesterday on the Korn Ferry tour. 12 shots better today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Bob won in Italy I remember him having a wee jibe at folk who had been doubting him and it suggested to me his head isn't in the right place. As hard as it may be, to be a top player you need to be able to block out everything people say about you and get on with your game. As much as I hate him, Cantlay is actually a good example; he's getting it in the neck from all angles for his style but still doesn't give a shit and plays his own game. It seems Bob might be too quick to indulge in what's said about him online and that must come into his head when the bad shots start on the course. I hope he gets it sorted as he's a smashing player but it's looking a bit like he can't cope with the relative expectation that's on him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 David Law one shot off the lead in the DP tour event in Japan going into the final round. Grant Forrest one shot further back. Calum Hill tied 9th, Bob MacIntyre tied 35th and Scott Jamieson tied 41st. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
