Golf thread

Re: Golf thread

Interesting. That prior iconic photo was just him and his father. In this one he's surrounded by loved ones.

Melodrama done right is very powerful. Nice redemption story, Tiger.
 
Re: Golf thread

Unreal day. First major he has won from behind on final day. Wasted most of a nice spring day watching Tiger. Koepka missed that putt and Tiger shanked that 2 shot.

Re: Golf thread

I find this dynamic interesting between team and individual sports.

Team:
Golden State is bad for basketball because they're too dominant.
UConn women are bad for basketball because they're too dominant.
Alabama is bad for football because they're too dominant.
(To a lesser extent this is heard) The Patriots are bad for football because they're too dominant.

Yet, in individual sports:
In men's tennis, the Big Four are worshiped. I'm not sure if they've ever all been together in the same semi-final, but whenever they meet in a final it's always billed as another all-timer. Especially when Federer went on his run, there was no talk of tennis being boring.
Serena Williams is women's tennis.
Jimmie Johnson won six straight NASCAR titles, and not only was it not bad for NASCAR, he would never even be considered the most popular driver during that stretch.
Don't pay too much attention to F1, but it doesn't appear that Lewis Hamilton winning every week by 30 seconds is ruining that sport.
And then you have Tiger Woods and golf. Guy mowed down competition for 15 years and throws it all away with addiction and infidelity. What happens in the interim between his downfall and his return? Despite the playing field being blown wide open, where you can, for the first time since the mid 90s, expect someone other than the guy wearing red on Sunday to win, golf is considered ruined.
 
Re: Golf thread

I come here to chat about Tiger, and a historical victory and the golf thread is packed with political bull****. Seriously, get help.

That is interesting.

I think there's a tacit assumption that if a team becomes dominant it's because they've cheated in some way, either because of the system or because of money or just because they flat out cheat.

This thing was Molinari's until he went swimming on 12. He was never the same after that.

I’ll tell you what, I hated it more in F1 than almost every other sport. Ruined it for me for a while. But I always did respect the hell of out the Mercedes team. Those engineers did magical things with those cars and put them light years ahead of the competition.

He needs 3 more majors to tie Nicklaus. Not sure that's realistic at 43, but he has changed his style of play quite a bit to account for his age, and if anyone can do it, it's Tiger.
