True, but it will be on TMZ and TruTV from here on out. I’m betting he’ll go ballistic on somebody and get arrested in the near future (or get picked up for DUI).

I might could have dredged up a little compassion for Tiger had he not been such an arrogant POS....

How does a person blow out their knee and hurt their back playing golf? That’s like spraining your ankle while eating at McDonald’s.

I had the same premonition. But i think if he got a harem he could pull it together again.

I don’t think there’s much doubt Tiger used enhancers. Some say it messed him up physically because of the added strain on knee and possibly spine, I honestly don’t know but if he did use them it was not ethical.

Never seen anybody create his kind of clubhead speed against such a firm left side. His swing put too much pressure on his knee (even before the roids). There was no way his body was ever going to hold up over the long haul.

Jack Nicklaus is smiling somewhere.

What looked like a foregone conclusion just 2 years ago (breaking Jack’s major record) is now a longshot!

Yo Tiger . . . screw everything else.

That's how he got himself into trouble in the first place.

How would steroids help your golf game?

If I had to bet money on it I’d bet you’re right. The mess he got himself into and finally got caught at brought the whole thing to a head, I’ve no sympathy for him.

Repetitive stress injury. Snapping the knee shut for 25 years to gain a 10 yard advantage. I screwed up my rotator cuff for life in just one weekend, letting the club head , flying at 120 mph, snap my shoulder at impact. I can still bench 200 lbs, but lifting my arm above my shoulder does not always work.

I remember back when Woods was in the early years of his phenomenal success, a writer said, “The only thing that will stop him is a bad injury or a bad marriage.” I don’t think the actual outcome has been what anyone would have predicted!

When one is talking about the degree to which Woods would have to change his swing I don't think its possible. Everytime he gets into a tight he will instinctively go back to what he grew up with.

Agree no sympathy from me either

but is this performance drop off possibly due to the PGA starting to test their players for steriod/other drug usage?

Except for the couple of usual suspects (one who is sadly gone) here claiming steroid use, they could never explain how being "pumped up" could equate to straighter drives and pinpoint accuracy on iron shots to the greens........

Muscle bulk, the primary result of steroid use, does not enhance one's golfing ability..........

I'm sad to see Woods in this slump, he was the sole reason I watch golf on TV.....Like him or not, he's definitely the most exciting player on the tour.....
