Better investment was to have taken the that 88k and bet on tiger ~ $1mm

It was as if time stood still for what felt like an eternity hoping that putt would fall. Said to a few friends after I left that was probably the best shot I’ve ever seen in person.

I know it ended up just off the left side, but my god he crushed that thing, might still be in orbit. Breathtaking. I didn’t notice it as I was focused on Tiger teeing off, and when his ball took a hard left turn into the trees I was hoping I’d here an f bomb or two lol but apparently some moron yelled get in the hole and security was quick to find out who it was. I can only imagine what he’s thinking today if he ended up getting the boot.

In the past I had always been somewhat indifferent on Tiger (I mean look at my profile pic here lol), didn’t root against him or worship him like a god, but never denied he makes the game more exciting when he’s contending. So I was pulling hard for him to win. I live in the Atlanta area so went to the Tour Championship last year on Sunday and obviously that was an insane experience. Doesn’t even come close to the excitement of being there yesterday.

I have no doubt that you could start a go fund me page and get the trip covered. Lol.

Not that he likes breaking hearts IMO. I think he just gets mad when the world puts too much pressure on him. But not vengeful-mad like "I'll show them!" More indignant-mad, like, "I don't need golf to be happy anyways" etc.

Gambler who won $1.2 million on Tiger Woods' 2019 Masters victory: "I had never placed a bet on sports in my life"

 

The younger Adducci, a 39-year-old self-employed daytrader, was a nervous wreck. He flew from Wisconsin to Las Vegas earlier in the week to place the wager, which he claims to be his first-ever bet on sports in his life. A man with a mortgage on his house, two student loans and two car loans decided he would take $85,000, which he said was "everything I had that I could afford to lose," and place it on Tiger. Why? "I just thought it was pre-destined for him to win," Adducci explained when reached on the phone on Monday afternoon.

There will be a movie made about this guys story.. the "feels"..

[DavePelz4]

Joe LaCava was on the ESPN affiliate in Chicago yesterday and was very open, candid and hilarious. He had to be bleeped out a couple of times. His best comment was when they got to 5, he told TW to hit 3 wood instead of driver because he had put his tee shot in the bunker each of the first 3 rounds and made bogey.

 

Woods obviously hit a great tee shot but still made bogey.

 

As they were walking to the 6th tee, LaCava said to TW, "you might as well have hit driver as you really f'd that hole up again." He said they got a huge laugh from it.

This guy has to be a beard for a big time sports bettor. I’d be shocked if there isn’t more behind the story.

Wow, so it is true. GatorMD did get banned. I suppose, as they say, some fly too close to the sun.

 

Hang in there, gator. Hang in there.

[dciccoritti]

Now if only Tiger would stop being friendly, receptive and engaging so he can get back to wiping the floor with everyone instead of pretending to beat them by one stroke so they don't all go home deflated with tears in their eyes.

 

Tiger 1.0 was like this guy....

 

[media=]

[TheMoneyShot]

When is TW playing again? PGA?

Ha!

 

TW can be friendly outside the ropes and in his zone when playing. Its seems to work better at this point.

 

He should do some talk shows. Go on Rachel Ray and cook something. Cameo on SNL!

[bbr16]

> @TheMoneyShot said:

Some are speculating he could play Wells Fargo first, would make sense that he would want to get another rep in before the next major to knock off any rust.

Yes, you always get back your initial wager if you win. :)

Several posters have made this point about Tiger's win bringing new players to the game. But will it, in the same way Tiger did for a decade starting in 1997? I mean are young kids now going to take up golf because a 43 year old man won the Masters? Are 20 somethings who are ignoring golf in droves going to be showing up at your course? Some, sure. But I'm not yet convinced about large numbers.

Totally agree, but I would imagine it will have a little impact. I highly doubt that he will reach that level on the course, but he has a fantastic opportunity to have a different impact with JR's, er all golfers off the course through his programs and charities.

Perhaps it will get some people who have played to go out and play more, or get better. But the young kids referenced are probably already into golf because their parents grew up on Tiger. Also, I think young kids who are into golf are more into Rickie, JT, YJS, Rory...younger guys that are relate-able to them, not a 43-yr old that has been thru what he has been through. Part of what made this Master's victory so great, was how much of a human Tiger was made out to be over the last decade. And you have to be old enough to understand that, not a 16yd old kid who hasn't experienced life yet.

 

Tiger made golf cool to play, cool to watch, he paved the way for the younger guys I mentioned. Maybe golf wasn't as fun to watch without him. But the path he paved in terms of playing golf has been constant. I think it has been in a great place long before his comeback. I don't expect the casuals to go out and take over your local course. Now if he takes home the Grand Slam this year....that'll be a different story.
