I thought I'd invite all the Tiger fans to come out and comment.

Thanks! Been watching the Masters coverage - Tiger looks like he’s having fun - loose and relaxed.

Never. Gonna. Happen.

He may, at some point down the road, win another tournament. But he'll never win another major. He's done.

He was a good guy, until he screwed up and it was made public. I admired the way he politely refused Clintbilly many opportunities for photo ops in the early years. Few celebrities did so at that time.

Bubba Watson, Kuchar, Woods or Adam Scott. Phil Mickelson is always formidable, but I don’t know his health status at the moment.

I doubt he’ll be top 10.

Not necessarily a Tiger fan but a keen observer of the game.

If you chose one single golf course on Planet Earth that is a horrible mismatch for a player with a dodgy short game, it would be Augusta National GC.

Everything about the course is steep or on a hillside. The greens were never designed to be rolling 14 on the Stimpmeter given their contours and inclines but with the modern power game it’s the course’s only defense. The greens committee struggle every year to find a mere four hole locations on (mostly) large greens where the ball won’t roll away due to gravity.

Combine that with tightly-mown areas everywhere around the greens and you have a nightmare scenario for someone who isn’t chipping and putting with a deft touch.

He may win one or more tournaments. He may even win another major despite the mountain evidence to the contrary. But it’s difficult to see him even competing at this venue.

Most of his limitations are physical. He began playing golf at age 3. He is an old 39, and we will continuing seeing this over and over with each successive tournament. The younger players are incredibly gifted and athletic, and he will not be able to compete with them.

If he’s in the running on Sunday, the coverage will suck all the air out of the room. I don’t see him winning, one of the young players will peak.

He’s been so bad this year, I doubt he makes the cut.

The fans? Please, what you did was like throwing chicken into a gator pit and for the same reason.

not a chance. he played 3 tournaments this year and made one cut. his last 2 competitive rounds were an 82 and a WD due to injury.

watching practice rounds is BS, everyone on tour looks like a grand slam winner in practice rounds.

his confidence is shot. he keeps changing his swing and hiring new “gurus” to find the secret. he’s now got the yips. he’s done.
