Before this week I was thinking his beat was at Pebble Beach cause the greens are tiny there and his iron game is still the best on tour. Then maybe The Open because he is so smart and has so many different shots in his bag which is perfect for links golf. I had The Masters 3rd and Bethpage for the PGA 3rd and 4th because I didn't think he was still had enough accuracy to his length. Boy was I wrong, he only missed a few times off the tee. He should definitely be the favorite at the US Open.
His agent was as excited as he was. I'm sure he already realized that win just took Tiger's earning potential from the stratosphere to outer space. I would say Tiger was going to make another $200-$300 million the rest of his life if he never won another major. Now that number might be closer to $1 billion.
Great article by Golf Digest on it. I didn’t know this till I read the article.

YW. I wasn’t just pulling it out of nowhere. I had no idea till I read it. Think Tiger makes it moot anyway.
Once again, iron play was a massive indicator of success at Augusta National. Tiger led the field in strokes gained approach – over the last five years, players to lead the field in that statistic have finished 1st, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 1st in the Tournament.
For the 24th time in the last 29 years, the Masters winner came from the final grouping on Sunday. Chasing at The Masters continues to be an immensely difficult task on a Sunday – 94 percent of Masters winners have been in the top-five entering the final round.

I vehemently disagree. Tiger winning will bring a resurgence to the game that is sorely needed on the local level.
For some reason when Molinari hit in the water on 12, i yelled "The Gold jacket is your Tiger, Molinari is going to choke." Then i realized is was not watching Happy Gilmore.
Do not know wtf that movie came to mind when he finally choked. Even said gold jacket instead of green.

Great! Lengthy interview with Joey LaCava. Well worth the listen.
