Anyone else watch golf for the first time in a long time today? He seems to be getting back to form. He was right in it today, next week is Bay Hill, that dude lived on the course for a LONG time. [Reply]
I’ve never really been a fan of Tiger and used to get a bit annoyed when the coverage on a final Sunday would cut to him out of contention. Easy to forget that overkill by the media was all driven by just how great he was. Dude was basically the Michael Jordan of golf for a long stretch. Also got a lot of people into the game and watching tournament golf. [Reply]
His media attention was because of his race, let’s face facts. Never before has someone that was his race dominated golf. The media loves that crap. It’s because he is half Asian. If he wasn’t half Asian they would never be so obsessed. [Reply]

Can’t quite tell if you are trying to be sarcastic. [Reply]

I’d say he was far more dominant relative to his competition than MJ. [Reply]
Today will be a great test of what Tiger has left. He starts fairly early. Won't be on tv. But could make a charge to make some money. He won't win unless the rest of the players are killed in a meteor storm. But he is the one (and Speith) that can make a big move. [Reply]

It never rains on the golf course! Some days, there is a rather heavy dew.
As long as there is no lightning, rain doesn't present much of a problem for these guys. Plenty of towels, dry gloves and a caddie carrying an umbrella. [Reply]

Other than Phil, Vijay Singh and Ernie Els, his competition was a joke. I mean, they were hyping up David Duval and Sergio Garcia as competition for Tiger.
He wouldn't be nearly as dominant if he came up in this current era. [Reply]
