The Secret History of Tiger Woods -

[Forged4ever]

Absolutely they were-

 

14 of em-

 

2008?

 

That was #14-

 

It was vitally important to Tiger

 

I just happen to believe that it was so important to him because his father called it 12 years before and not because it moved him one closer to Jack.

 

I'd be curious if there is ever even a quote FROM Tiger regarding either 18 or 19 majors-

 

Not a response to a question, him initiating the discussion, as Hogan and Jack did countless times.

 

Majors were definitely important to him in so far as they were important to Earl-

 

Earl called 14-

 

Tiger chased and got 14

 

Just my .01 :)

 

Have a great week Bro

 

Fairways & Greens My Friend,

RP

 

Did he ever mentioned he accomplished a goal of 14 after winning in 2008? I'm not sure if he did or not - I certainly don't remember it.

 

He continued to build his schedule around the majors after that. He was clearly beyond angry he lost the PGA to Yang in 2009.

 

Even in 2014 after his back went the week before, he tried to have a go at it for the PGA because it was at Valhalla and he thought he had a chance.

 

I don't believe for one second he never had Jack's 18 in mind, or that part of him feels empty for not having caught him. He's one of the most competitive people ever - yet he wouldn't want arguably the greatest title in golf (most majors)?

 

In 2015, even though he was banged up, he made sure he played in every major. Literally if the man could get out there and play, he tried to get into the majors even after 2008. His comeback in 2010 was at the Masters.

 

Revisionist history and him saying "oh I was never after Jack's record" does not reconcile in any way, shape, or form with how he built his schedule in his entire career.

I don't disagree with anything that you've posted, and absolutely he'd love to get to 18 or even better, 19-

 

I just think that inside, he's at peace with 14-

 

That was my only point with all my rambling, lol

 

Stay Well My Friend :)

 

All the Best,

Richard

I do agree that the older he gets, the more he'll realize how great he was and how hard it was to win 14 majors, as weird as that sounds. So yes, I'd say if you told Tiger 10 years ago he'd be stuck at 14 he would have been irate, now, he's probably more at peace with that, and when he's 50 he'll be even more okay, though I'm sure part of him will look back and wonder "what if".

 

He was such a freight train that I thought he'd get to 20.

 

I actually told people who didn't follow golf much that he was underrated in his prime.

 

What struck me about 2013, even though he had a great year, was that in a few majors (particularly the Open), he really did a 180. He'd be a few back on a Friday, and in the early/mid 2000's, that was PRIME Tiger striking territory. You KNEW he would go for a 67 or 68 on Saturday and win the tournament 9 times out of 10. Suddenly, in 2013, at the majors, he was lackluster on the weekends. Big turning point.

 

I have no idea what his career holds from this point forward. If he didn't have his short game issues, I'd feel a bit more confident in him getting another major, maybe 2. But he's got a long road ahead. However, as much as he struggled last year, he'd have stretches of holes where he was all over the pins. He's just got to keep his floor from being so low, if that makes sense. Keep his 74s from being 74s, and turn them back into 71s.

[tsecor]

politics? really?

 

 

Jack, with a little luck could have won 30 majors.....the competition was so much greater during his time as well. I think Tiger is satisfied with 14 majors and being a top 5 golfer of all time....most people would be happy with that......

 

Jack stands alone, high above the rest.

He made it look so easy, I guess we thought it WAS easy. To think of all he has accomplished in golf, and all of the money he has, the guy can't get a good night's sleep.

 

That kind of sucks.

[Forged4ever]

Apologies, I should not have been on the board~

 

Have a good day :)

Tiger was never "all in" because he wasn't doing it for himself or his own legacy, he was doing it for daddy. I don't doubt that he worked hard and was very motivated to win. Same with great football players. Some guys work hard till they get that big pay day and then they take their foot off the gas. Some musicians get a couple hit records take some time off and you never hear from them again.

 

When you do something to please someone else the passion can only last until that person is there to be satisfied. Daddy, the fans, whatever.

 

Once Earl was gone Tiger finally had a reason to do something else. Anything else other than golf. Tiger has never been cool, he's always been awkward and weird, he is an introvert, he would disappear into obscurity if he could.

 

Maybe, he can find the motivation to do it for his own legacy, kids, friends, family but I doubt it.

 

"Once you're gone, you can't come back. When you're out of the blue and into the black"

 

Again. you have no idea what Tiger's motivations are. Neither do I or the next guy. If someone on the internet said "you're not motivated at your desk job because of your daddy issues" how pissed would you be?

 

I don't think that would anger me especially if there was some truth to it. There are worse implications than that. And I do know what Tigers motivations are I think his motivation is alluded to in the article. He is motivated to fill the loss of his father and he is motivated by the actions of his father. Womanizing and being the cool guy, that was Earls thing, not Tigers but he still feels the need to try his hand at it. As a son and a father, I get it. I've seen myself do it and I can already see my son doing it. As a son the first person you yearn to compete against is your father. You wrestle, you race, you fish, you play golf - whatever. If you don't get that out of your system by the time pops is gone then you end up working it out afterward. Tiger as we know is not socially mature and he wasn't done working out things with Earl. Earl made Tiger, Tiger never had a chance to mold himself. Once he had that opportunity he took it out on himself physically and ended up destroying the only life skill he has, playing golf.

 

As many virtuoso's before him he flamed out too soon. It is what it is.

 

You got all of that from an article about his doing some crossfit w navy seals?

 

Crossfit doesn't involve shooting Sigs, kill houses, skydiving or running for miles in combat boots.

Would have activated his glutes though. Crossfitting is a cult (:)), but it's a glute-activating machine!

Many have been lured by the temptress of glute activation.

[halcyan]

How do we know that Tiger didn't pay for meals, experiences, gifts, etc for the Seals on other occasions? Maybe it was a one time deal....not making excuses but like with most other celebrities, we only hear about the bad/negative stuff.

 

Maybe he just wanted to be one of the guys. Maybe he thought paying for everything would highlight the fact that he was so much wealthier. Maybe the guy that brought it up shouldn't have.

[Hawkeye77]

As long as you don't ask him to finish a sentence...

 

That's not fair, he does, they just happen to rhyme. I heard he said this:

 

""Sad man, get off my case, just 'cause I wasn't on no Army base!"

[Forged4ever]

I was just looking at that pic from Tiger Jam with Prince-

 

Damn, would that have been a great time, lmao

None of the guys that I met did cross fit, LMAO

 

Damn, think how bad they'd be if they could go through the kill house with activated glutes!!!

 

Seriously, that would make them even more deadly, right??

 

I do believe that the two guys that Charged into Osama's bedroom were on full gluteral activation and the pucker factor was through the roof-

 

Don't quote me, I'm goin all WRX here, where my tone of certainty exceeds my actual knowledge-

 

Come to think of it, WTF do activated glutes even feel like?

 

I asked Maddie and I can count on like two fingers the times she's said this though she just chirped "STFU and go to sleep" and she walked outa the room~

Anyone else reminded of Hogan when reading this? Loner, focused, and maybe in the future a recluse?

 

Well, Ben Hogan actually served in the miltary, so there's one difference.

 

Frankly, I have less interrest than most. I kinda blew through the thread (I read Richard's posts, because I never ever miss those)...

 

Not sure anyone should be a miliatary diltante as described in the story. Certainly, it's quite arrogant for him to assume he'd make it through BUD/S if it wasn't for the golf thing. He might or might not have made it, but we'll never know.

 

And, as a proud father of a combat veteran I can say that anyone who truly has been there, done that certainly has a level of mental discipline and fortitude that most folks simoply can't comprehend. Which is why I cringe every time some sprts hack calls a competitor a "warrior." Not even close.

Two great "Pearls" that I was told when I was 14yo and met one of my father's teammates and he told me these and I've lived by them-

 

~ When you're at the end, and ready to quit, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and just focus on putting one foot in front of the other.

 

I cannot tell you how many times that I have done this in the last 42 years. Too many to count.

 

~ Sometimes in life you're going to have to fight. Fight like a rabid dog and when your done, Leave the scene as quickly as you can.. Do not stick around and take bows or gloat.

 

Unfortunately(or fortunately) I've had to follow his advice here also

Jack, with a little luck could have won 30 majors.....the competition was so much greater during his time as well. I think Tiger is satisfied with 14 majors and being a top 5 golfer of all time....most people would be happy with that......

 

Jack stands alone, high above the rest.

Top 5? Haha.

 

I guess #2 is considered the top 5....

 

historians of the game don't put tiger over guys like bobby jones or Varden......some of the real old skool guys...

 

top 5 is great...its up for debate where he falls within the top 5.

Tiger needs a security detail just to go play golf.

He's a pretty serious free-diver and loves spear fishing. According to instructors, he can hold his breath > 4 minutes underwater. At least a decent swimmer I'd say!

 

Honestly I think Tiger had the mental strength to be a SEAL. I don't know that his body would have held up though, as he's obviously pretty injury prone. I would predict a medical washout. The other issue I would question would be his ability to play well with others. There's a reason they have Teams in the SEALs, and given the social issues Tiger has exhibited, it's tough to know how he would respond in a situation where he couldn't be a lone wolf.

"Pain is weakness leaving your body." That is AWESOME!!! Those guys are definitely cut out of a different cloth - that is discipline that most of us could never comprehend, and the fact that they make it through BUDS is proof that it is more than just talk and bravado. I am thankful every day for the protection they (and other servicemen and women) provide and the freedoms they preserve.

Anyone who doesn't have Jack and Tiger (in either order) as #1 and #2 is not much of a historian. The debate between which of them was better is one that will rage on forever, unless someone comes along and raises the bar above both of them, but I don't think that's very likely. There are great arguments on both sides that Jack was the greatest or Tiger was the greatest (I'm with Richard that Jack was the greatest champion, Tiger the greatest to ever play), but to argue that anyone else could be in that #1-2 spot.....sorry. Ignorant at best.

THIS is SEAL Training.......

 

Oh yea, does anyone know if Tiger can even swim?????

 

Seriously......

 

Like can he swim as well as he hit a golf ball????

He's a pretty serious free-diver and loves spear fishing. According to instructors, he can hold his breath > 4 minutes underwater. At least a decent swimmer I'd say!

 

Honestly I think Tiger had the mental strength to be a SEAL. I don't know that his body would have held up though, as he's obviously pretty injury prone. I would predict a medical washout. The other issue I would question would be his ability to play well with others. There's a reason they have Teams in the SEALs, and given the social issues Tiger has exhibited, it's tough to know how he would respond in a situation where he couldn't be a lone wolf.

He doesn't know the meaning of TEAMMATE-

 

He'd be lucky to get through the psych evals

 

Bear in mind that every single instructor would make it his job to crack Tiger Effin Woods??

 

He'd need more than his daddy's genes, LMAO

Haha, oh you know the instructors would be kicking his a** every chance they got! I think he's stubborn enough that he would like that though and thrive on it a bit, I just don't think his body could handle it. I think the body would break before the mind in his case.

 

The more I think about the Team situation though, the more I agree with you - he'd be WAY out of his depth there.
