Resurrecting Tiger

[Donuthole]

Are my eyes deceiving me or is Tiger also the last person to jump on the "make a small slit in the cuff of your jeans/pants" bandwagon? He's about 14 years too late on that one.

Sadly, that is a something that started to pop up in golf attire about a year ago. I think some of the young guns (Ricky Fowler and Rory McIlroy come to mind) re-started the trend with the help of their wardrobe sponsors (Puma and Oakley). They are actually hemmed that way (though maybe Tiger slit his with a kitchen knife just to feel younger).

Count me as one that is perfectly happy that Tiger will never be breaking Jack Nicklaus's major record. The fact that one of Jack's main competitors, someone who took 2-3 majors away from Jack, almost won the British Open at the age of 60 speaks volumes about the type of competition Jack had to deal with.

The shoe's that Couples made popular looks comfortable, the shoes Tiger was wearing yesterday looks like something you would wear if you got a stroke deducted for running down the fairway the fastest.

It is an especially bad look when combined with his all-black and red outfit. The shoes are ugly on their own, but they take on a real "tennis shoes among the bishopric" look with that outfit.

I'll take both, thanks. But I'm demanding like that. I noticed Ray Romano was rocking your preferred golf shoe, the Nike Air Rate (or is yours the Range? I can't remember).

The article I read about them was that they were totally thought up by Tiger. I'm not a fashionista like Donut, or apparently you, they weren't that ugly and I'll take comfortable shoes playing golf over fashionable ones every round.

I was watching with my son and mentioned how ugly those were. Nike must be paying Tiger a ton to wear those.

Tiger won't win a major wearing those god-awful shoes. He looks more like he's entering a senior citizen's walk/run than a golf tournament. Seriously, those are a fugly way for him to join the white shoes movement (3 years late, no less).

Don't tell Stuart Scott that. His intro into the golf highlights tonight on SC Was all about how Tiger has won 25% of his PGA starts over the last 2.5 years, to only 9% for Phil. Considering Phil has 3 Official PGA Tour victories (including a major) to none for Tiger, i'm not sure where those stats are coming from (though I'm sure it includes that lame Shell event with 12 participants that Tiger won).

Stuart Scott is racist. I'm not sure why ESPN keeps him around.

I would take it if the "2012" weren't there. I think Tiger will likely win another major at some point, just because he still has plenty of talent. But I don't have a lot of confidence that it will happen this year. He's just not the same golfer right now. 2005 Tiger doesn't get paired with Lefty in the final round and lose to him head to head by 11 strokes.

I'll take that if it is an actual bet.

I think he can win at Augusta this year. What's the bet?

Tiger hit a ton of greens during these four days, the difference is he doesn't putt like he use to. On the fast greens at Augusta he won't win. You take Tiger and I'll take McIllroy.

I'm in. How about lunch at someplace nice in downtown SLC or something?

EDIT: Or $100?

[TripletDaddy]

I think he can win at Augusta this year. What's the bet?

I'm open to whatever. Doesn't have to be super expensive. How much would be good?

I do not think Tiger will win a major this year and I'm actually not against the notion that he will not win another major at all (although I still think he might at some point in the future.)

I would prefer Tiger to be winning. It is fun to watch him dominate. But he isn't the same anymore.

I'm just not sure Tiger is a finisher anymore. I love watching Tiger play, I am a Tiger fan. I would take the other side of that bet.
