I don't think he has a prayer to pass Jack. Aside from the competition at the top being deeper and stronger than ever, he'll be 43 when the Masters rolls around again. There are what.. 3-4 guys who have ever won a major at that age or older. I've been wrong about him before though.

You are most likely correct. However - just having him in the mix with a shot a winning another major makes things much more exciting. This is true for both Tiger haters and lovers & just fans in general. Way more exciting than watching say Jimmy Walker win a major.

Geez, Cletus you really are a fool. have you ever played the game? You don't hit clubs yopu don't know how to hit with that much on the line.

It was all or nothing, he went for all. For that he gets my respect, it's what champions do.

 

[ATL96Steeler]

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Much as I disliked Nicklaus and almost always rooted against him, like I do with Woods, he was the most dominant player the game has ever seen. In fact he revolutionized the game.

Listening to the old timers...Hogan was feared Nicklaus was respected but at the end of the day Jack was and is the GOAT

Champions rarely gag like that though. That drive was beyond bad, it was horrendous. It was so bad it actually helped him, he went right of the hazard.
Regardless, I loved it. Loved seeing that whiny look return to his face and watch him slam his club into the ground.

LOL! With those old steel shafts and persimmon heads and balls that don't go anywhere I guarantee he'd shoot 90

Okay, now I know that you’re just trolling.

If I can do it, Tiger Woods sure as hell can.

Yeah the top 50 players in the world don’t know how to hit a driver. Let me clue you in... when you are in that position, even if you are struggling you have to trust your abilities and hit the driver.

You don’t hit a 3wood on a 600 yard par 5 down 2 shots

Cletus

Just stop seriously. Lol. You Tard hard man

Bullshit. Those persimmon heads look microscopic after the 460s we use today.

Boy, please! You hit the club that gives you a chance and if he can hit that shot, as you say, then clearly he choked because he hit the worst drive I think I've ever seen a pro hit. It looked like something someone like you might hit, Cletus.

Cletus you are cracking us up.

Ok let’s hit the 3 iron off the tee from 600 yards. That’s the Tiger we know.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Bullshit. Those persimmon heads look microscopic after the 460s we use today.

You do understand that Tiger Woods, as well as every other professional golfer on tour, is hitting the ball in the center of the face 99.9% of the time....right?

There is no variation. These guys don’t need 460 CCs to hit the ball straight. The size of the head benefits those 10+ handicappers out there.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Right here in Omaha we have Hickory Shaft tournaments every year. Several of them around the city.

The guys winning those things are shooting 72 and they are surely not pros.

Also, these are on courses such as Happy Hollow, Omaha CC, Champions Run......just to name a few. You know, courses where they hold big events such as the US Senior Open.

 

[SoCalWizFan]

Cletus you are cracking us up.

By "us" I assume that you mean you & the other voices in your head - rt? You are the one cracking folks up with your delusional rants that are in no way based in reality.

The worst drive you have ever seen a pro hit?

Are you kidding me? There have been lots of worse drives. So that insanely off line drive that Rory hit at the Masters a few years back (that was way off line & practically in someone else's yard) was not worse? There is a thing called objectivity - you might want to look into it.

 

[SoCalWizFan]

So angry guy - you have never hit an off line drive like Tiger did on 17 (or even close)? So why aren't you on the tour? You are calling out a guy who has more wins that anyone on tour & finished in 2nd place in the most recent major. You portray him as if he sucks & make it sound like these guys should never make mistakes.

Get help dude.

 

[R.J. MacReady]

The tour average for driving accuracy right now is 60%.

Driving has always been far from automatic. I don't care if you are on the first hole or 18. It's not automatic.
There is no such thing as a choke when it comes to driving the ball.

If you are chasing the leader than there is no choice but to pull the driver.

If you have the lead on 18 and pull the driver ..that is not a choke either. That is a huge Brain fart.
That is what Phil did with the lead in the US open on 18. Huge mental error, but not a choke.

Ok let’s hit the 3 iron off the tee from 600 yards. That’s the Tiger we know.

He won the British Open never hitting a driver once. Just that 295-yard stinger with his driving iron (2 iron?)

 

[Montalban]

Then why do they use them?. Your statement makes no sense; not when every golfer on tour is using 460s

That is correct.
