Tiger Woods Career From Here (LOL EL RATA YOU FRAUD)
Yes, his performance in majors of T4, T4 and T23 is far from embarrassing. Yes, he's still likely recovering somewhat from his injuries of the past few years. Yes, he's distracted by the scrutiny related to his philandering. He's Tiger Woods - lots of reasons to think that in a year from now we'll have forgotten about his 2010 performances on the course.
But he's 34 and one major away from being 35. He needs 5 more professional majors to pass Jack. 5 Majors from age 35 on is far from a lock the way he looks right now. I'm too lazy to look it up, but 5 majors won at 35 or older has got to be something only Jack accomplished (he won 6). I'm sure BO can come here and tell me I'm not a true fan for not knowing that one off the top of my head - maybe someone else won 5 from that age, I don't know.
He just shot 2 over par 74 at Firestone, a course he loves. Looks like he may not qualify for the Ryder Cup (!) and seems almost certain to lose the world #1 spot to Phil in the next few weeks. No swing coach in place. Personal life still in flux. Doesn't look good.
For the first time in a long time I think it really is fair to ask "does he get there".
If he doesn't, the whole GOAT discussion will get a lot more interesting.

Change the damn 5 year old threat title. The real fraud just dropped out with flu-like symptoms lmao
El rata was right. EL RATA WAS RIGHT
el rata was WRONG
THE TITLE STAYS
a 50 year old man can no longer compete with golfers half his age, change the title
will he be too proud for the tour champions
probably depends on his merch contract appearance requirements
Has he got 1 more major in him?
We had a father/son duo at the poker game, the father a bit of a legend, and the son imitated everything about his dad while playing. Like a carbon copy, the mannerisms. I saw it as cringe. It's lack of individuation at some point, but also age dependent. Also extremeness of stimulus dependent.
24 consecutive Masters cuts made
Amazing
Charlie with the ACE!
what a day for the fathers of sons
Paddy Harrington had one as well
love the commentary:
...and Paddy
he's legal
he's going to lose some cash
and he's from ireland!
This will probably be the last year team Woods doesn't win this tournament for a while.
What a joke, Bernhard Langer teeing off closer than the 15-year-olds.
Langer averages 275 off the tee, he could use a little boost.
as for this guy, he should be playing back a box.
