Re: Ian Poulter says he is the only one who can challenge Tiger... LOL

He and some of the other guys that make comments like this would probably be better off saying it in a different way or just avoiding it altogether like most guys do. I'd be willing to bet that most guys on the PGA Tour thinks that they have the potential to be better than Tiger. Maybe not in an all-time ranking, but for the season or through the next 5 years something like that. If you go into a tournament with the mindset that you can't win...you won't. No matter how far-fetched it sounds i have never played in a tournament, match or whatever and thought that i couldn't win or didn't have a chance. To me that seems like a waste of time
Well said...and I agree, you have to believe you can win to play your best. But just because you believe you can do it (some day), doesn't mean you should announce that you're #2 material until you've actually earned it. Play it, don't say it.
