Big mistake to write Tiger off. Big mistake. OK, he's lost the swing of old, been tweaking too much, doesn't exude that aura of total confidence. But he's still young, hungry and greatly gifted. The tiger will return. Of course he can beat Bubba Watson. When he gets his swing back.
Originally posted by shortcircuit Wow, do you think Arnold is Tiger's equal??
Arnold is a better ambassador of the game than Tiger, but the rest isn't really close.
I think Mickelson compares decently to Arnold.
Agree. How courteous of Phil Mickelson to be present at the inaugural teeing off of the three grand old masters of the game: Nicklaus, Player and Palmer.

You're probably right, but I doubt Tiger will ever be the force of old. Wasted too much energy whoring around!

I have strong doubts. Every major he flops like the Masters he'll question himself more and more. Shots he would make blindfolded in the past he can't make anymore. Now he's up against those he inspired into becoming golf freaks. Has become too cautious. Now the McIlroys, Watsons and others try the Tiger shots of old and make these whereas Tiger is always a "choke" away from blandness!

If he can't win then he will come to accept this. When he accepts that he can't control winning and losing he will then be able to compete again.

Oh, because Tiger Woods won the tournament this weekend at Bay Hill.
I'm sure he can come up with something damning or demeaning.
Tiger is lurking again, and the Masters is two weeks away.
And now the Masters is one week in the rear view window....+3 weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Kick that club Eldrick, thats the spirit! Jacks lookin better at 18 all the time.....tick, tock, tick, tock
