His father set the R&R in Bangkok,which I took advantage of in 69’.
I wish him well .... but I’ll feel better if they check him for PEDs.
My thread link to MSN has gone nutso.
First, it takes you to the scores for the 2017 U.S. Open.
Then, when you click on Valspar, it takes you to the MSN home page.
I grew up watching golf. My dad loved the game and won many trophies locally. I recall people like Fuzzy Zoeller and the guy who wore plaid and was killed in a plane crash( his name escapes me). I guess I like characters. I like Tigers attitude about race(Cablanasian) and the uncanny talent to pull off the impossible. Child prodigys have to burn out sometime, and Tiger had a historic run, but I’d like to see him smoke everyone off the course once more.
His dad was a bit of a dirtbag. Tiger’s parents were actually separated when he won the Masters in 1997, but kept it a secret.
Almost all the PGA golfers are Conservative straight shooters. I like the good guys. New stars like Jordan Spieth and his friend Justin Thomas are my favorites.
After almost 10 lost years, he could be on the verge of a comeback for the ages.
...
Not bad after he almost killed himself with painkillers and Xanax about a year ago (the traffic stop). It wasn’t the first time either.
Re: Plane crash
Payne Stewart.
He won three majors - the U.S. Open twice.
Funny you mention Fuzzy. It was the first time I had to wonder about Tiger when Fuzzy made a joke about Tiger having a Black ethnic type of dinner after he won the Masters and as custom would host the following year’s champions dinner. The media got all over Fuzzy for being racist and Tiger let him twist in the wind. As an outcome Fuzzy lost $$$ in endorsements. I thought that was rather cruel on Tiger’s part as he easily could have stood with Fuzzy, but didn’t.
Tiger himself is a dirtbag
He has faded over 4 days time & again in the last 10 years. A bad back & bad knees don’t go away, so I’m not expecting much, but he’s due.
He can certainly behave like a dirtbag, but I don’t think he’s totally bad based on some things I’ve read. He’s like a nerd who grew up to be a sports superstar. He’s still a nerd at heart.
We were scheduled for a visit but they canceled it for reasons unknown to us men. The ossifers probably knew.

He sets a terrible example for what a golf pro should be...cursing, throwing clubs, etc. I root against him every chance I get.
Maybe having his woman out of town for a couple of weeks helped his game. It certainly didn’t help hers.
Oh, well. Sill hoping he chokes.
Nope, there are 35:
Rule 35. Don't let your wife swing a 9 iron after she catches you being unfaithful.
Ask Tiger what the penalty is for that.
Yes, that was when Tiger showed his true character. He hasn’t done anything since then to change that first impression; in fact, he’s reinforced it over the years.
Agreed. Tiger IS golf. We all screw up. Some of of us bigger than others. I do not judge, but I damn sure will watch the best golfer who ever lived. Just follow the money... numbers don’t lie.
Eldrick is a disgrace to his family and himself.
I will pull for him to miss every cut.
