Will Tiger play at Riviera? Tiger Withdraws From Genesis And Honda (merged)

[gretch]

Not on the weekend, that I can guarantee.

 

 

 

I know where a confident, knowing guy like yourself could make a bunch of cash if he were to back up his words with action.

 

With such confidence you would kinda sound like a pathetic blowhard if you didn't place a simple (large) Missed Cut bet..

[KYMAR]

Bro! SO mad!

[bullie76]

My guess..........who knows. And why would anyone care what my guess is?

[SilverBullets]

Has anyone else seen the video of Tiger walking off the putting green on Wednesday in dubai? I saw it somewhere on Instagram with a long description about it. He could barely walk. He was clearly uncomfortable, tight and in a bunch of pain. I believe the back spasm excuse. We'll see what transpires from here. Based on what we have seen and in his interviews, he's never going to be healthy. He will never be more than simply 'comfortable'. We will see if comfortable can ever be competitive again.

[PowderedToastMan]

He's had a week to rest and rehab. He should be good to tee it up. If he hits primarily that new 3 wood and gets back to hitting solid irons, making the cut shouldn't be out of the question at Riviera.

In other equally "doesn't matter either way" news.....

 

Who will sign Johnny Manziel this off season?!?!

[Milkers]

Here's the man in his own words talking about his comeback ... some very interestng stuff in this!

 

 

Go to 2:40 and you won't be so optimistic about TIger teeing it up too often this year. Pretty sad.

Honestly I wasn't really prepared for that. Sounded like he's already decided.

He limits his recovery team too much.

 

Physio, trainer, neurosurgeon and that's it ? ahah never going to make it 100% with that team.

[Trap Junior]

I dunno. If he does he will pull out when he is +4 after 12 holes. Tiger is not a grinder.

[manku]

If Tiger spends a few days in the Chatsworth area of LA next week, I predict he not only will make the cut but may even win :taunt:

 

FWIW, odds were 3:2 on him teeing off at Riviera a couple days ago.

[DavePelz4]

Langer has a better chance of winning the Masters...

[bscinstnct]

If he does, he need to reassess his

 

"Im here to win" mantra

 

To

 

Hit some fairways, shoot par for 4 rounds, and make a cut

 

Make a $@ cut.

 

Bunt it out there off the tee. Carry 270, forget about 290. Dont hunt pins so much.

 

Get in a groove, amp up your swing as you gain some tempo.

 

He'll feel a hell of a lot better with a T50 on Sunday than eating popsicles and playing GOW 9 on his couch.

Tiger isn't trying to make tour status like a guy from the web.com. The only reason he's still actually playing would be to get the wins and/or major record. If he isn't trying to do those things, he probably figures there is no reason for him even be out there. While I agree he has to temper expectations as he works his way back, I doubt he thinks that way.

Exactly. He isnt worried about getting his card.

 

He has the luxury of using a pga tour event to practice.

 

Forget about winning. Just hit the fairway, hit the green, make par,

 

Make the cut. Hey! You have 2 more rounds to play. Maybe now he is in a groove and can make a move and hit some shots.

 

I understand its not just that easy but he needs to shut out expectations of being Tiger and winning, and work on his game.

Here is the video I think you're speaking of:

 

 

He does seem to be walking pretty gingerly.

 

On a side note, based on how interested he was talking about course design in that Peter Dawson interview, I wonder that mentally he might have already begun to move on from his playing days. If he is in that much pain still, why not move on.

[ccheezy]

You can't MC if you WD. That is a mathematical fact.

[McCann1]

Well title says it all. This sucks.

[pmadden86]

Really looking forward to seeing everyone @genesisopen open next week, unfortunately I won't be able to play. https://t.co/DSGq6okmhu

With no malice intended, is anyone really surprised?

[Heelgrad]

This stinks. Was really hoping he'd be able to make it back sooner than later. Not looking good for him to be prepared for the Masters. Damn.

I don't know that he's going to be playing the Masters. It doesn't look good.

 

Edit - And this is further proof that Tiger/Steiny are a couple of liars. "It's just back spasms" they say when Tiger WD's from Dubai. "It came out of nowhere."

 

B******t.

Thanks! I didn't see anything about the Honda in that title.

I don't know if I'm ready for another 15 month tiger hiatus...or even worse retirement

[jeepman]

No real surprise. Unfortunately at this point the surprise will be when (or if) he actually plays 72 holes andcontends.

[etarv13]

Not surprised but this is just agitating for tiger fans. They described the "back spasms" in dubai like he could play in a couple days.

[cagecitizen]

It's been over for a long time now. It's just a bad case of Stockholm Syndrome.

[MattyO1984]

Anyone surprised?
