Re: Will Tiger ever play competitive golf again?

I'm still a fan of his golf. The PGA Tour is better when he's in the mix.

Re: Will Tiger ever play competitive golf again?

I respect him as a golfer. He works harder than anyone at the game. He is simply the best. His actions off the course should not take away from that.

I have not read all the replies as of yet, but up to that point Tiger thought he was invincible and could clearly focus all his attention to the game when he was playing. Now he will be dogged by the media circus, lot of distractions, and the realization is no better than anyone else. Time will tell if he can regain that focus and determination again.

You KNOW what Tiger was thinking?

Yeah, that wasn't there before all this.

Despite the grammar, still, I think I detect a little resentment there.

Ok...which tournament was that? I mean, since "the incident". You know, the tournament where he displayed his loss of focus and determination? Wait, what was Tiger's last tournament?*

*WGC-HSBC Champions -12 T6 Total breakdown compared to the win at BMW and second in the Tour Championship...and of course his pathetic performance at the President's Cup.

Re: Will Tiger ever play competitive golf again?

The biggest addiction I've had in my life is my children. Now that Tiger is in grave danger of losing unfettered access to his beautiful kids, we'll see how he follows through and where his priorities lay. The days of having his cake and eating it too are certainly over.

As far as his golf game goes, he's better than Jack Nicklaus was. My guess is that all of this will take a toll on his game for some period of time but he'll still obliterate Jack's major win total.

Outside of golf he's conducted himself more like some amalgamation of Lee Trevino and Hugh Hefner. It remains to be seen if he's serious about changing that. In the end, the personal stuff will be a footnote to everyone except Tiger and his family.

Re: Will Tiger ever play competitive golf again?

It seems all the "rumors about Tiger playing in the Match Play event coming up was after all just "Rumors', like I figured they were. Maybe next month the rumors can start again about the Masters.

Not so sure I could agree with that. Tiger does not have the competition Jack had like Hall of Fame players like Player, Palmer, Watson, and Trevino.

He may surpass Jack's major record, only time will tell, but one thing is for sure Tiger is no Jack Nicklaus.

Re: Will Tiger ever play competitive golf again?

After the speech today I don't think that he'll be playing for a while.
See the post "Tigers Speech Post Thoughts/Responses Here" to see what we're all saying

Re: Will Tiger ever play competitive golf again?

And now Jack Nicklaus expects Tiger to play in The Masters, maybe before then. Jack has stayed away from weighing in on the Tiger troubles, saying it wasn't any of his business. But, he feels his prognostication on Tiger's return relates only to golf, so he's on record for a Tiger sighting in the near future.
