Originally posted by sasquatch672Thank you for coming around and proving what I was saying. Tiger "was" great. Notice how you had to go back 6 years to talk about all that really nice stuff he did. Heck ever had to go back 9 years for one of those tournaments. I guess the question is was Tiger better back then or has everyone else gotten better and caught up to and passed him? He'll certianly win more tournaments maybe even some more majors though he'll continue to choke more often than not. Also if you dont count anything he did before 2001, how great are his stats? I assure you that his percentages are only as high as they are because of his awesome start which is also the reason people consider him the best golfer ever when he isnt the best golfer even right now. We all still remember his feats in 97 and all through the beginning of his career and alot of people are still high on that.
Made up stats? You make me smile bro. There's not a damn thing made up about 11-for-39, nor is there anything made up about 11-for-11 with a Sunday lead. You crack me up.
Okay - I'll tell you what. There were times when Tiger wasn't clutch. I remember one specific incident in the 2000 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, where HE LAPPED THE FIELD. He d have seen the first chapter in the most dominant run in golf history this past week.
Edit: Just because I love golf don't assume I am a bro because I am not ;-). I will say one thing about Tiger, while he isn't the hottest golfer I've ever seen in the PGA, he is a cutie. I'd take the spot of his wife anyday.
Originally posted by sasquatch6726 top tens? Your stats for Tiger keep changing. Anyone who has the real stats?
He is not as dominant as he once was. That's true. He's 29 now, not 25 or 26, married, and just lost his father. Might he ever be that dominant again? Don't know. He keeps tearing his swing down and building it back up. How's that for you? The most dominant golfer in the world wins a major, and feels so good about it that he tears his swing down ...[text shortened]... don't have the first clue what you're talking about, doesn't it?
Originally posted by BridgePlayerActually he's right he did finish top ten 6 times this year.
I'm not the one posting incorrect stats. Please tell us all these six top ten finishes this year? lol.
Here are the stats from ESPN.

If you had bothered to research this information yourself first you might not have started this ridiculous yet entertaining thread.
Originally posted by sasquatch672I can do what you did. Lets Look at Phil Mickelson since 2001.
Are you going to continue to argue that someone's better than he is? Or are you going to slink away now, and maybe buy a star?
2006: 8 wins (2 major), 3 2nd, 2 3rd, eight top-10's.
2005: 12 wins (1 majors), 7 seconds (1 major), 2 rds, 22 top 10's, 2nd overall on the money list.
2004: 7 win, 5 2nds, 5 3rds, 18 top 10's, 25 cuts made 0 missed.
2003: WOW - 13 wins, 2 2nds, 14 top 10's, 0 cuts missed.
2002: 6 wins (4 majors), 3 2nds, 5 3rds, 15 top 10's, no cuts missed.
2001: 7 wins (2 majors), 4 3rd, 11 top-10's, no cuts missed.
Originally posted by UllrNo he doesn't actually he just doesnt know how to read stats. He counted his 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishes as top tens which is incorrect.
Actually he's right he did finish top ten 6 times this year.

Edit: I am having fun on this thread. Certainly has helped pass the time here at work.
Originally posted by BridgePlayerRight. 1st place is top ten. At least ESPN thinks so. Tiger had 6 top ten finishes this year of which 3 were 1st place. He leads the wins and money list this year as he did last year. So what's the point of all this other than to pass the time at work (not a bad idea by the way).

Originally posted by Ullr1st place cant count as a win and a top ten. 3rd place is a top 3 finish not a top ten finish and 2nd place is usually part of a top 3 finish as well. Its normally broken up in to wins, top 3 and top 10. nothing counts as both categories or all stats would be inflated. Haha a girl knows more than you both about golf, take that :p

Originally posted by BridgePlayerTell it to ESPN and the PGA Tour. Explain to me why the PGA Tour has Tiger with 6 top 10 finishes this year. Are you saying the PGA is wrong and you're right?

Originally posted by sasquatch672Christ on a cracker. I hope she doesn't have a man. Otherwise I'd say that poor bastard. Can you imagine getting into a routine argument with this woman. You'd never be right. Then again she's a lady golfer so I suppose that means she's a lesbian anyhow so moot point.
The point is that in arguing about Tiger's skills as a golfer, I'm right, and she's so freakin' wrong she ought to just start thinking about what she's going to make her man for dinner tonight. What's for dinner tonight babe? What are you making? Make sure you get out on time - don't keep your guy waiting.
Originally posted by GammastyleWell said. nothing to argue with there. Cant argue with the facts.
Tiger has the record for most consecutive cuts made so your agruement that he plays like crap in most tournaments is worthless since everyone else plays like more crap by your analysis. Tiger has won more tournaments than anyone else on tour today. He has won more Majors than anyone else. He is a clutch golfer. If you won't forget Tiger's poor weeks, ...[text shortened]... Name any golfer out there and I will show how Tiger is a better golfer than them. Bring it!
