Tiger carries an unimaginable banner. The hopes, dreams, and expectations are off the charts.



I think that is what is most amazing about him. Other players that play with him get engulfed and can't handle it. And that is a single round. Tiger has dealt with it since he ripped the Masters in 1997.



He plays in a fishbowl every round he plays. He is critiqued on how he tees his ball, and whether he hits a Driver or an iron off the tee.



The guy can't even take a piss without a camera hovering over him.

What's it been, 10 years since he last won a major?

Did Tiger get his "soul" back yet?.....Think not.

Until he does, not much to talk about IMO.

I'm not on the Tiger train. In fact, as soon as he teed off today I knew NBC was going to get lost in the Woods.

Maybe this is apples and oranges but just because people may of heard of Justify doesn't mean I hope Justify wins every race. In fact, I much prefer to see a field full of colts compete and contend with Justify every time out.


An Italian won a major for the first time ever today. That is a great outcome for professional golf IMO.

I can't disagree, Stinks. Plus he'll be a powerful addition to the Ryder Cup team.

Mr Woods was the best golfer ever by a very wide margin......back in the day.

All of today's elite golfers advantages evaporate at courses less than 7500 yards, then the target golfers usually take control, improvement in today's equipment being the main cause.

Who would you call a target golfer? Dustin Johnson? Justin Thomas? Jason Day? Bubba Watson? Patrick Reed? Rory McIlroy? Jon Rahm? Brooks Koepka? Jordan Spieth? Rickie Fowler?

Are you suggesting that Molinari is a target golfer? If so, wouldn't you have expected that he be near the top in hitting fairways? He was only able to hit 26 of 60 fairways good for 127th in the field.

I would put both Spieth and Fowler in the 'target' group and give them the advantage on shorter courses.

Yes, Molinari is certainly a target golfer. I think at Carnoustie just off of the fairway the rough was not that bad and in most cases you would have a short club in your hands. Being on the proper side of the fairway was more important than being in the fairway.

My definition of a target golfer...... Tee2green and approach stats would be a little sharper.

That was the first golf match I've watched in years and it was because of Woods. It was interesting learning about and watching the other big name golfers, but if not for Woods, I would have been watching more of the NASCAR broadcast.

I have to admit to doing the same as above. Never considered myself a fan of Woods, but my Dad was a huge fan of Tiger and Sam Snead. Talk about different generations. I have probably rooted against him prior to his "accident" and physical problems. Now I find myself rooting for him to win again as a comeback story. I went into Sunday hoping Molinari would win(new guy to a major) and was glad it turned out that way.

Mr Woods, personally, picked golf up and easily quadrupled the interest in golf in his hay days. At the golf club that I frequently played at back in the day golf lessons attendance exploded, especially kids. Golf owes Mr Woods tons.

Just look at all of the young talent that now occupies the PGA, these are all Tiger Woods prodigies. :popcorn::popcorn:

Grazing in the grass
 

Tiger used to be a vegetarian?

Well, I'll make a bold prediction.

Tiger is at his beloved Firestone without back pain, and the swing is good. This is the week Tiger Woods WINS.

If he doesn't win here at a course he loves, I doubt he will do it in the remaining 2018 events.

You mean....you didn't know :)

already 4 strokes back....and 20 very good player between him and the lead.....I wish him well :ThmbUp::ThmbUp:

It's hard to have 20 players between him and the lead when he ended the day in 14th place.
