Resurrecting Tiger

[byu71]

He didn't look hurt after that shot on two

That's what Faldo said after the replay. Maybe it tightened up as he walked down the fairway and he figured the swing was what did it.

I am thinking the wise thing to do would be take the rest of the year off. Don't put Watson in the position of having to leave him off the Ryder Cup team.

Listening to PGA radio this morning, Tom Watson said he could tell something wasn't right with Tiger on hole 5 when he hit that pathetic tee shot because "nobody hits a shot like that." Other guests of the show said basically the same thing. You could see him walking with a slight limp a few holes before he withdrew, but who knows. His caddy still went to Valhalla today to walk the course, but my guess is he wont play.

He didn't look hurt after that shot on two but it sounds like he was. Next to a shank by Nick Watney I think that shot on five may have been the worst shot I have ever seen a pro make. I would be very surprised to see him play next week.

I wonder if he really did hurt his back or if he just sucks.

Tiger isn't going to win another major. I know people here still get excited about the guy but he has lost all of his mojo. He seems more pathetic now than anything else when compared to pre-orgy tiger

bump.

Looks like Tiger will be coming back next week!

"After a lot of therapy I have recovered well and will be supporting my foundation next week at the Quicken Loans National. I've just started to hit full shots but it's time to take the next step. I will be a bit rusty but I want to play myself back into competitive shape. Excited for the challenge ahead."

Don't you mean orgy tiger, not pre-orgy tiger? Clearly having numerous casual sexual partners is wherein his great strength lieth.

Playing poorly, claim you have an injury and quit. This is becoming par for the course with Tiger - that is, if he would finish the course.

He could easily catch lightening in a bottle and win one. But his days of contending every time are over.

If you've ever wanted to play golf like Tiger, today may have been your chance.

Sadly, even today Tiger played far better than I ever have (or will).

The only thing I hate more than how I crappy I play whenever donut is in the same area code, is how blowhardy so many people are about golf. Brandel Chamblee sounds like he could have been Judge Smails other booger-eating nephew.

Of Tiger's 3 offenses, my take is:
1) The drop at the Masters was a dumb error by TW and his caddy. Considering he had hit a perfect shot that ricocheted into the water off the stick, I'm shocked he didn't break his club over his knee. He took his drop about a yard further away than he should have. It was unfortunate, but he deserved the penalty.
2) At the TPC, he went to where he thought he should drop, consulted with his playing partner and caddy, and played without the help of video evidence.
3) The moving ball at the BMW. Tough to tell the difference between an oscillation and the ball returning to its resting position, versus 1mm of movement.

Now if the article was about Wood's choice in off the course playing partners, that is fair game and deserved. This however, is why I will never play on the PGA....there may be a few other reasons too.

Tiger is up 2 with 3 holes to play. 17 and 18 have given him a lot of trouble this week. Though I imagine playing for pars, instead of birdies, will make a big difference down the stretch

We do have a PGA thread!

I'm glad yesterday was rained out -- got to stay home and watch the final round today. Great how Tiger almost holed that putt on 18. His putting was ridiculous this week.

Tiger's back.
