Also as a Tiger fan, I think the "yip" thing isn't much of a concern anymore. He hit a ton of high quality chips and putts, which makes it seem the issue is far more likely to be rust than the yips. The one disaster hole was right before he withdrew where it was obvious his back was seriously affecting his game.

However the concern over injuries went way up, and unfortunately that is probably worse.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I mean I agree with your larger point but this logic is really stupid

He's young and in good health, why is he so consistently injured? He's either exaggerating it or he's not properly rehabbing them or letting them heal fully when they happen.

Tiger Woods is older than Peyton Manning

The subliminal power of SE. Thanks, Obama.

Are you aware that a golfer with major yips can hit many pure shots? They can. If you watch his technique as opposed to where the shot goes it's readily apparent. He's jumpy at impact.

GMAFB dude. You already exiled me from Golf. I haven't posted in there once since you exiled me. This is an SE thread. Go back to your low volume forum and bash Tiger all you want.

"Unsubstantiated race baiting"? A guy in your home state of Arizona just last week yelled "FRIED CHICKEN!" at the guy, while being surrounded by a couple thousand other white dudes who probably laughed or at least didn't really care.

Just a couple weeks ago our own poster knivesout called Russell Wilson an N-word and got like 2 weeks.

I mean if it makes everyone uncomfortable to talk about race then I guess I'll stop. I've made plenty of race jokes online so I shouldn't be throwing stones. But frankly there's not much else to talk about wrt Tiger's game right now. But the haterz are having their day in the sun. Tiger ripped a wood out of deep rough today onto the green in 2 on a par 5 and Faldo made it sound like the worst shot he's ever seen. Then Lerner or whoever else was on air pauses and is like "that's a heck of a shot..." and Faldo finally starts babbling like "Ohh well yeah yeah it sure was yeah." lol. Faldo hates Tiger and so does Chamblee and plenty of others.

We should probably get BruceZ in here to mediate this issue.

If it helps this silly discussion I know all sorts of racist friends and family who hate him because he's black.

Weird. I hate him because he's Asian.

C'mon

Google:

Tiger Woods Black 49,600,000
Tiger Woods Asian 5,890,000

To be clearer it's only the Asian part of him I have a problem with.

Exactly... In most cases, golf is a game of not missing, as opposed to hitting great shots. He yipped at the shot on the first hole. He has the yips, period.

Welp.

Well, Tiger read this thread and took my advice, clearly

BO, you missed the facetiousness in my post, probably because you were looking for anything to be a condescending ass about.

And yes, I read your post the FIRST TIME YOU POSTED IT because I'm not illiterate.

Yeah, that just hit me. In the spirit of..... something, I deleted my post.

ONE TIME DEALER

Clark, what's 0 majors at now if you got it last week at -500?

It's off the board.

If he can't get healthy this year does he consider retirement?

I would ****ing love for him to ship 4 majors in the next 5 years or so, then we get a bunch of his 3% looks in his 50s to break it. That would be so awesome to watch a 54 year old Tiger win the U.S. Open to get to 19.

The over/under on majors won by Tiger for the rest of his career should be around 0.5. I'd bet the under all day long.

John Daly era just began. Bogey free -7 at calm Pebble.

Prediction of his F/S/S scores: 73/76/82

John Daly gonna ship 2 majors this year.
