Did he give a reason he’s not playing?

 

And what  does carrying or playing a pro am have to do with the players?

 

TW can carry and play pro ams, but know his golf game sucks too much to be playing competitively in tour events. Especially this field. 

I think he's not playing because he knows he can't plausibly pull out the injury card again if he WDs. And it's true, tpc and even bay hill are very difficult, very penal golf courses. I'm not that surprised he isn't playing. 

 

But come the Masters,  he can't get away as easily with being tight lipped Tiger. He'll have to offer some excuse as to why he's not playing if he doesn't show up.

Really? 

 

We will have to let TW know this 🤣

 

Cmon, TW drove himself into the ground in 2018-2019, pushing his back fused, no knees, destroyed body through the limit because, as you put it,

 

“Tournament play is the way to bring your game back to snuff”

 

Took him 2 years of getting up at 3am to just be able to walk and hit the range, day in and day out, to play regularly, grind to #5 owgr

 

And score number 15

 

But you’re right, he should just do this all again 🤣. 

 

TW is going to do as he pleases, no need to explain what or why he does it.

his last wd wasnt the injury card so he could always claim food poisoning ;}

TW be like

 

Yeah, was gonna play Players but I loaded up to much on the wagyu sliders and fried oysters at the Seminole buffet. Was in food coma for like 2 days. 

 

Then I pulled my hammy diving for a shot playing Pickle Ball with Snoop Dog
 

But here’s a vid for ya 

 

🤣

 

 

 

[Maine Golfer]

Whatever happens, happens. He doesn't owe me or you a long rant on why he will or will not play. Our best hope is he has some juice at 50 and can with the US Senior open and such.

Just wanted to say.. this made me laugh. As if Tiger’s MO had ever been to just show up and win. His very existence on Tour is owed to his prep. He, is a grinder. An extremely talented, ULTRA hard worker. The things he’d do to get three US Amateurs, five Masters, four PGAs, three US Opens, three Opens, Two Players, 82 PGAT wins, and pro wins all over the globe.. One little nugget still out there that reminds me of his dominance is when Rory gets told he’s the only 3x FedEx guy. Rory obviously knows better than anyone.. if that stupid Cup were around for Tiger’s run, he’d have ten, easily. If would’ve been quite literally a $10m afterthought. The FedEx Cup was invented to create some cash for players (and the commissioner) OTHER than Tiger Woods.. after first place paid pretty well. 
 

The ONLY thing left for Tiger is win #83. He knows there’s no way in hell he’s winning another major. I of course would let him slide if he wanted to chase that last win anywhere..  in any field, but he probably won’t do that. And I’ll end up with a little more respect for the guy’s game and accomplishments, and I’d rather talk about how he’s tied with Snead at 82, instead the all time winner. Amazingly, Tiger’s legend is not defined by numbers. I never would’ve thought that in 1996. Back then, the guy was as dry as could be and seemed destined to be a golfing machine ready to rewrite the record books,,, and not leave so many “what-ifs” on his trail. But, such is life. Carry on, Tiger thread.

Breaking news - BSC, the ultimate TW fanboi (Sahith still playing for second place) prob thinks Tiger will still win this April at Augusta. 
 

But then our fav NYC-er likely also still believes in the Easter 🐰 bunny.

Good stuff OB5

Yeah 83 not looking good. The numbers TW put up are beyond comprehension much less the reach of any player these days. 
 

For guys who played the bulk of their careers after 2000 you got

 

Phil 45

 

Rory and DJ with 24

Then?

 

There should be some type of “generational” player coming down the pike. Jack was born in 1940, TW in 1975. So “next TW” should be coming through the junior ranks right about now.

The 82 number doesn't mean much to me. I think highly of Snead but that number is just something they came to.

Oh I don’t disagree with you.. I mean, Jesus.. we are all gonna see. He’s entered your subconscious and he hasn’t even attended his first Sadie Hawkins Dance. He will absolutely, positively, f*** s*** up on Tour. I hope. 
 

“generational (wealth)” seemed to be the unofficial word/phase of 2023 (….or was it 2022..? I can’t remember these things anymore, the years are passing by quickly, my friend)….

Only thing I'm going to disagree with is him thinking he can win another Major. He absolutely believes he can. He wouldn't be showing up at them if he didn't. He could easily choose the easiest courses for his body, all of which would have easier fields to play against, if 83 were all that matters to him. Short of the words coming out of his mouth I won't believe that because everything about him, including his own words, says he continues to only show up when he believes he has a chance to get it done.

 

Is it realistic? Probably not, but if anyone ever to play the game is a Han Solo, never tell me the odds kind of golfer it's Tiger.

I hear you. The psychology of the man. But really, Tiger isn’t delusional. He knows he’s lucky if he makes the cut at any of the majors (which he won’t) except Augusta. 
 

In their minds they think they can win. And they love hearing themselves say it out loud. It’s called bravado. But Tiger knows. As cerebral as he is, he knows. 
 

As Woods was making his comeback, the Mercedes-Benz nap made me question his intentions for continuing to play golf. His brand needed him on the course in a Tiger Woods capacity. I was very surprised to see him compete and then win in that short window of late 2018 to early 2019, then he squirts another out in October 2019 in a weird event. 
 

But now, things are significantly different, Father Time, health, Charlie Axel, no Nike,

 

I’ll be interested to read another book on TW about the time period after Masters win, up to the present time. Isn’t one due to come up out soon ☺️

As was the case for 2019 masters, he’d need 2 years of being healthy enough to play a large number of events leading up to it

 

As we know, TW didn’t just show up at the 2019 masters and catch a lightning and a bottle. 
 

He played 18 times in the 2018 season. And a number of events before Augusta 

 

He drove himself into the ground, got to #5 owgr, crazy stuff!

 

I doubt he wants to take something like that on again…or he just can’t. 
 

Best bet is for him to play as much as non tournament golf as he can, try to walk-play 2 maybe 3 days in a row, see how much he can rehab the leg, then play Augusta and the Open if possible.

 

I don’t see any reason to even try the US Open or PGA Champ, zero chance he can win those

The sooner the Tour and the sycophants understand that the Tiger era is over and he is now just a ceremonial golfer or a person who is angling to become the next Tour commissioner, the sooner the Tour can move on to resolving its other issues.

We psychofans (ha! See what I did there?) have acknowledged the TW era has been over for years

 

And the “tours issues” have become a mountain of mediocrity amplified by the talent being further watered down by the events of the past 3 years.

 

So, don’t blame us
