For the 3 time in his last 8 events he has withdrawn from a tournament bc of injury. I hate watching one the GOAT's struggle like this. At times he looks like an amateur. Some will say it's deserved and that's their right, but I grew up learning to play from this guy.

- Thread starter Desoto
- Start date
Yep I agree Desoto really sucks to watch him.. I remember being absolutely glued to the TV. Just to see what kind of magic he was going to produce.. Now it's almost to unbearable to watch..
If you haven't read The Big Miss by Hank Haney give it a look. It was written a couple of years ago but a lot of things he said would hinder Tiger have held up.
I thought it would just be a hit piece by a disgruntled former member of the Tiger entourage but that's not how it came across.

Elin stuck ANOTHER needle in his voodoo doll ***, she owns his head and body since the 9 iron episode. He gets his head right and the strokes don't fall, he gets the strokes back and his head isn't in the game. I really believe once his dad died and wasn't there to keep his mind on it he was toast from that point on.
I'll just go with Elin stuck a(nother )pin in the Doll
Sad to see. Hope he gets his stuff together.

I think he somewhat plays up his injuries when he is playing bad golf. I think the guy is a unapologetic P.O.S. but golf is better when he is in the picture
Tiger`s last major June,2008. PGA drug testing stated 7-1-2008. The guy is/was as dirty as Armstrong, Bond etc etc......let the excuses begin !
I think you guys have all hit on factors in his demise but I would add he swung
way too hard and demanded way too much out of his body to sustain a long career. He was brilliant while he was on top physically and mentally. I would also add that the money he made is tough for a young man to deal with and to keep his motivation, lot's of distractions.

In the almost 9 years since his dad died, Woods has won 4 majors, tied for 2nd in 4 majors, had an additional top5 showing in 4 other majors, won 6 WGC tournaments, and won at least 25 times.
That's him being toast?
Since the 2009 season, Woods has 14 wins total, 3 WGC wins, has tied for 2nd 4 times, and finished in the top 10 35 times.
Its not like he disappeared. The stats above also dont includethe 2nd half of the '08 season.
Your conclusion is based on a single statistic- that he hasn't won a major- while ignoring all that he has accomplished in that same timeframe. As if its some easy simple thing to do- win a major- especially in the last 10 years of excellent top level parity in pro golf.
Absolutely.
The amount of torque and competing angle changes he demanded his body comply to for years is simply stunning to think about. Its not like he has been using Steve Stricker's swing out there for a couple decades now- Tiger puts a ton of stress on his body with how he swings- all 4 of his swing motions now...or however many he is up to now.
Whether he did steroids or not, and i have no clue or proof, shots like this aren't effected by it.

In my opinion, golf is better and more entertaining when he's in the field.

Just stop it, stop, stop, stop.
You and your rational real world talk. Don' t you know that Tiger: cheats, uses/used steroids, owes Elin money, is washed up, spits on babies, loves Ole Miss, etc, etc.....
There is never any room in a Tiger Woods discussion for reality sir, so please don't bring facts to this discussion.

I think that if you go back to when he started having back problems, you would see that it correlates with the terrible way he drops his head and compresses his body on the downswing. I can't say that to be 100% true, but I'd wager it's pretty damn close time line.
He's always dipped his head slightly, but it has gotten much worse in the past few years. I think it's causing a tremendous amount of torque on his back.

Absolutely agree with this. His act with the injuries is what gets old to me. I was a fan of Tiger but got tired of him. Almost every golfer alive has gone through back injuries, until this week, I have never heard one blame it on 'unloosened glutes'. he is just such a tool.
Uncle verne approved: "in your life have you ever seen anything like that." Seems weird without Gary d. there to say smn stupid, or just relate it to saban somehow.
Maybe, maybe not....steroids and peds do have a mental impact as far as focus and concentration goes, steroids aren't strictly a physical enhancer
There is a mountain of evidence confirming this
On opening day, when the player walks to home plate, he has a new build and a fresh outlook. According to Dr. Harrison Pope, director of the biological psychiatry laboratory at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical Center, the player will have become more muscular in the shoulders, neck and upper arms. ''He starts to look more male than male,'' Pope said.
During 20 years of researching anabolic steroids, Pope has had countless athletes tell him they feel invincible when performing with steroids, providing a psychological edge on par with the physical advantage.

Never understood the Tiger hate or steroid accusations. Anyone who actually was watching him during his peak would remember it was his putter more than his driver that helped him put up the big scores.
One of the biggest benefits of steroid use is faster recovery from injuries. It works. Less time feeling sore after workouts, faster gains, and the feeling of invincibility...all true.
I hope Tiger never wins another tournament. Jack doesn't deserve to lose his majors record to this *******.
Tiger is done and I love it.
