OT:. El Tigre with the DUI

I'm with Chin, how could you ever end up driving even with 1 or 2 beers in you with 500M in the bank? Really stupid on his part.

Love Tiger, he made golf and it kind of sucks without him honestly but he needs to straighten his life out at least because that may be all he has left.

Uh, Tiger?

You're welcome.

Your point about Jack playing at an older age applies to all of these comparisons.

Tiger won a lot of his tournaments wire to wire. He didn't do nearly as well coming from behind. Jack was a pressure player. Tiger not so much. Both are kind of nasty people.
As far as Tiger's DWI who knows whether it was meds or alcohol but he did get arrested at 3 AM. It was irresponsible for sure but how many of us have been in the same condition and didn't get caught?

Typical response from you. Lol .... thanks for naming 4 guys and the etc group that's proof you know golf and I dont. Lots of Euros were over here then huh? Parity is a beautiful thing.

Again this is up for grabs as an argument but to say "anyone that doesn't see that doesn't know golf" is ignorant. Well go figure.

Those 4 combined for over 25 majors. Name me 4 players from Tiger's era that did that. You can't. That's my point you dope. I didn't just name "4 guys". I named 4 guys that won multiple majors while Jack was in his prime. Tiger had nobody like that to contend with in his prime. All of which shows that I was right....you DON'T know golf.

Just stop, this is a awful and just inaccurate take. And its not your first in this thread.[/QUOTE

That is your reply? This is the 24 hour ratings driven era. I'm not saying he wasn't great, just not the greatest. The media jumped on this and crowned him too early. He was also a great story who doesn't want to give it to the rich white country club types? I sure love to take them down a notch any chance I get

Jack was almost 40 when Watson entered his prime. People forget Tiger was the best player in the world until 2013, a year he won five times. The depth on tour at that time was light years ahead of the 1960-1980s (Adam Scott, Justin Rose, Phil Mickelson, and Jason Dufner won the majors and Stenson won the FedEx in 2013). It is not even debatable. Yes Player, Trevino, and Arnie were all time players, but Vijah, Els, Sergio, Phil, Goosen, Langer, ect. were not slouches.

I think the tour was/is deeper in Tiger's era, but the top players of Jack's era were better.

The mental nature of golf longevity? It's mental that he's had numerous knee and back surgeries? I mean please, if he stayed healthy he was going to surpass Jack and fairly easily there is little doubt about that. They had a right to call him " the greatest of all time" at the moment I mean he was easily the most dominant. Now that his injuries and indiscretions have caught up there's an argument, but certainly not an argument for longevity he's done there.
Expand ...
The one thing that I'm not aware of re: Jack is whether or not courses were redesigned to "Jack Proof" them. It certainly seems unlikely that Tiger wins another, but you never know. jack won his last major at 46, and a few years ago a circa 70 year old Tom Watson was in contention for the British Open. Again, it's dubious with how he's played lately, but the odds wouldn't have suggested Jack or Tom's play during those two events.
Now, let's say Tiger Proofing courses cost him 1 or 2 majors. If he's one or two short of Jack, that's still short. But, it makes that stretch of dominance that much more impressive. Hell - the Tiger Slam was insane. Has the equivalent been accomplished in the men's tennis game? ...a sport that historically sees a greater level of domination by the top for short durations?

They won those because the rest of the guys sucked no parity, no Euro's. Congrats you know golf, you're hilarious.

Who ha, Ex all worth talking to, you once again prove you're not. But you're an entertaining little twerp.
 
How am I suppose to give a serious and detailed reply to someone who says Tiger was a media creation and failed to live up to the labels he was given because he was not mentally tough enough?

It is honestly the most inaccurate and stupid post you could put out there. You either know nothing about golf, and/or simply just do not like Tiger, there is no other way to explain your take.

Agree on this. The Mickelson's, Singh's, Els, Duvals were all really good but not like Palmer, Player, Trevino. But no doubt the tour was much deeper when Tiger was playing and there were a number of potential winners every weekend playing in those 150 player fields unlike the 50's to 80's. But guys like that won a lot less because of the parity also and the Euro invasion.

Tiger was golf for a ten year period. He was awesome. Just not the greatest of all time

basically 14 years take out '10-'11 I believe. He won 2 in '96 and in '13 won 5. Definitely not as long as Jack but still a great run while healthy. The greatest for 14 years yes, for longevity no.

No one ever docked Jim Brown points for longevity.
 
I wonder if Earl Woods passing had a lot to do with Tiger's unraveling. I believe his father had a lot to do with keeping Tiger focused on his career.

Do you think his dad's passing lead to him having four back surgery's and two ACL surgery's? The last two years Tiger was healthy he finished 1st and 2nd on the money list.

Why is this so hard to understand?

Indirectly, yes. That's when he started with the fantasy combat training stuff. Word is that his first ACL tear was a direct result of doing some sort of jump training.

He had tissue removed from his left knee in college, and in 2002 had fluid removed from his ACL area in the same knee, and then tore his ACL in 2007. There was lingering and on going issues with the ACL for a long long time. Oh and he won 5 out of 6 tournaments playing with the torn ACL until he did surgery in the offseason.

So, Tiger's car was pulled over and he was asleep in it and didn't drink and they still bust him?

Maybe just get the guy home

If they did that for everyone, sure. Im all for policing with compassion and common sense. But they wouldnt do it for me, they would lock me up, so lock Tiger up.

Scummy move. Once Tiger realized he was out of it he removed himself and others from danger.

But I agree, my neighbor had same thing where he pulled into a town park and slept and got busted too.

Apparently if you pull your keys out they can't arrest you because they can't prove you are driving. tiger should have done that.

How does someone have that many serious injuries and destroy their body from playing golf. He swung hard but that doesn't seem to explain it at all.

Federer probably would have calendar slammed from around 2005-07 if that weren't also the rise of by far the greatest clay court player of all time. Slightly OT but worth breaking up the monotony of people saying Tiger has somehow always been broken mentally.

Back injuries are very common in golf, ruined a lot of careers.
