The day Tiger lost all claim to being the GOAT: The 2009 PGA Championship choke

[Valtiel]

It will always be fascinating and depressing how small men feel the need to denigrate big men.

He was far too conservative on Saturday. He was laying up from 240 yards on par 5s, lagging every putt that wasn't 5 feet. He never shot at a pin. And then on Sunday he put up a 75 to lose a chance at the 15th major. 

 

How’s the weather in Greece?

So Tiger lost all claim by letting one slip away so that makes Jack the GOAT........wait Jack let 19 slip away....well who would be next in line for the GOAT then?

I'd like to throw my hat in the ring ... I've never lost the 3rd round lead in a major.

You're right.   I confuse her with Sofa Veraga.

I wonder what other golf world incidents we could re-litigate 🤔

 

The Open 2009 - Stewart Cink the major winner that made us all smile?

US Open 2009 - Lucas Glover is a better all round player than Mickelson/

The Masters 2009 - Cabrera, Campbell and Perry - the most exciting major finish...EVER!

 

In typing that, how bad was 2009? Cabrera, Glover, Cink and Yang as major winners. That is brutal!

A Tiger (Woods) in the wild will sometimes play with their food (Yang) and sometimes the food (Yang) gets away. It happens.

Ye Yang looked like the Tiger woods of the mid 200s when he hooked his hybrid to 4 feet on 18th. 

 

When you don't know, you play like you don't know.

 

This is why seasoned poker players hate when new players are at the table.  They don't play by the norms and "rules" and you can't get a read on what they ae going to do.

 

A rookie race car driver races on the first lap like it is the last lap of the race and puts people into the wall.

This is the day Tiger lost all claim to being the GOAT. He folded like a cheap lawn chair. Ye Yang looked like the Tiger woods of the mid 200s when he hooked his hybrid to 4 feet on 18th. 

 

Here is a recap of the chokejob Tiger had

 

Give credit where its due, AcesAZ called this immediately after the fact

 

 

Tiger Woods was never the same after that. He was embarrassed on the national stage. Exposed as no longer unbeatable after 54 holes.

That Sunday in August of 2009 showed why Tiger is not, and never will be the GOAT

Tiger was just destined to be 2nd at Hazeltine.

 

He did however hit one of the greatest golf shots of all time there:

The day Sauron lost all claim…

 

 

 

 

[Shilgy]

Must be one of the guys that claims Jack finishing second 19 times is a positive. Anyone else there talk would be couldn’t close the deal 19 times.

 One example is the 64 Masters. Neck and neck with Arnie and Jack shanked his tee shot SHORT of the creek on 12.

Wow. The longest 8 ft. birdie putt in history. The legend grows. 

 

Seriously... Tiger has authored 15-20 of the most memorable golf shots in my 50+ years of watching golf.

The fact you think she’d be cooking ANYTHING is funny!  Haha

[nosedive32]

What was Jacks record with a 54 hole lead in a major? I'm just gonna assume his closing rate was a decent bit worse than 14 out of 15

Nice try Logan Paul, you came out swinging but you didn't connect.

Big difference here is Paul came out swinging, didn’t connect and “hugged” Floyd for the rest of the “fight” and took home an estimated $20 million! 😱 The guy that paid $50 to watch that is the same guy yelling “mashed potatoes” at PGA events! 😂

Damn spell check.. Salma! Yikes. I hope she can forgive me 🙂

Don’t sweat it. I’ve been called out for spelling errors, being redundant and using “ur” instead of your too often! It happens and thankfully it’s only an online golf forum! 😂
