Masters 2019

[Hobbit]

Well, I said he'd never win another Major. Hands up, totally wrong. Still some way to beat Jack but might still do it.

As for his off-course activities, it was way more than an affair, and he admitted that. Its past history, I hope, and has little relevance to how he plays golf. Would I choose him to play golf with before Jack Nichlaus? No thanks, I just can't warm to the guy. But well played all the same.

 

[Slime]

I'm sorry, as a life time Jack fan who always believed he was the goat, I don't believe he is now. No one has ever played the game at the level Tiger has, EVER. Jack is unquestionably the greatest major player, but Tiger is the greatest player to play the game.

It's Jack for me, all day long.
Oh, and when was the last time Woods caught a 1358lb Black Marlin on rod and line ............................. yeah, thought not!

 

[triple_bogey]

I don't care how good he is. Having him sitting there telling us about his kdis and what it means blah blah, horrible dirty dog, no respect for those he should have until he actually got caught...

 

[User20204]

You have got to respect Tigers hard work, dedication and a brilliant achievement for winning another major .....
But let's not forget........
He will always be the lying, cheating adulterer who got everyone to lie for him to his wife, kids and friends for years while he was giving the 'squeaky clean' to the worlds media.
Great golfer, great golf, great result but still a lying barsteward to everyone and not a patch on Mr Nicklaus.
I don't care how many majors he finally wins, he will never replace Jack as my favourite.

With respect, he (Tiger) never once lied to me, cheated on me and like any other sports star, what goes in in their personal life is nothing to do with me and of no interest to me.

Re: Molinari, if you want to win majors you have to be regularly contending in majors, which means you have to get used to losing majors in such ways. I thought he was fantastic all week. os was Koepke, Finau, Poulter, Schauffele . It will be good for Molinari, and will make him stronger.

It was a really excellent Masters, one of the best I think. Extremely enjoyable

Best comeback since last Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final.

Thanks. I thought that wound had healed. Obviously not

 

[bobmac]

Crazy how people judge everyone even when they dont know the full circumstances, you friends with anybody who may have had an affair and does it change your opinion of them as a golfer ? You might not hold him in as high a regard as Nicklaus as a person but he is every bit the golfer Nicklaus ever was and in my opinion played the game at a level never seen before or since

Not until he wins 19 majors

Oh so you know Jack on a personal level? Family or great friend?? There are stories on how he and the great Arnie were quite the ladies men back in the day. You really think there were no skeletons about if there were the type of media/social media about back in the hey days? C'mon now!

Jack and Barbara were married in 1960 and are still married. According to my arithmetic, that's 59 years

Isn't golf built on honesty, integrity and fairness?

In fairness to Woods he has seemed a bit more “relaxed” and calm person over the last two years , smiled a lot more and just seemed to enjoy life more and be a more likeable person . Yep what he did to his family and wife was imo disgusting along with his issues with the drinking and drugs but as with everyone people are entitled to make mistakes and rehabilitation , maybe Woods is doing that and being the best he can for his kids.

In regards the Greatest Question - if looking at results alone then it’s Jack , but I would always throw in the name - Bobby Jones.

I get you......He definitely was and always will be squeaky clean then........I apologize.

With regards to the personal life issues I'd rather judge a sportsman on his sporting accomplishments, easy for people to slate a man or woman for misdemeanors and saying what it mean to have his kids there, but yes the man had an affair there are many that have done the same that doesn't mean he doesn't love his kids and that he can't be sincere in his emotion having them there. Anyone that thinks otherwise is a little deluded.

Don’t believe his love for his children should be doubted, but were was his love for his children while he messing around? Also at the same time he was making millions through sponsorship as a clean living family man and someone to be respected and looked up to, all while lieing and cheating.
Very easy to separate his personal life from his on course abilities except you can’t as they are entwined.
His behaviour lost endorsements from Gatorade, AT&T etc to the tune of over $20 million.
Obviously some Companies decided they didn’t agree his personal life was seperate.

So pleased for TW. Been such a rollercoaster the last few years and he's proven so many people wrong with that win. Also won me £50 as well, so been a good day all round. Come on Tiger!

Whilst some companies dropped him due to the negative headlines. Do we really think tiger woods was sponsored because of his family image?

He was sponsored as his was arguably the most recognisable sportsperson on the planet.

 

[DeanoMK]

Was a wonderful tournament and a brilliant Sunday.

Was gutted personally as had a decent wedge on Molinari but, to see Tiger be Tiger again, in a major, was something else

But marketed as a role model, someone children should aspire to be!

I’m a fan of his on the golf course, but you can’t simply ignore his off course antics.

Both are part of him as a person.

Great win for both but imagine being that fella that put down $85k for TW to win. think it was a return of $1.2mil.

 

[pokerjoke]

For me this was the greatest comeback of all time.

We all know how tough it’s been for him,I believe it was his best victory,the strength and depth of the men’s game now is so much stronger than his past Masters victories.

He looked so calm,and I’m pleased for him.

We also know about his previous antics,and whilst wrong I certainly don’t know the whole story so I’m not going to condemn the man.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Has the interweb thingy imploded yet?

Fair play to Woods, thats one hell of a comeback, feel for FMol though, its a tough one for sure

 

[User62651]

Great Masters, wanted Poulter to win but he didnt quite get into the mix, happy enough TW won, rolled back the years. Glad to see he didnt blub, that Jim guy in the cabin wanted him to.

It’s been sometime since I’ve paid attention to tv adverts. But I can’t recall any that displayed anything other than his golf ability.

For me, I want my children to have me as a role model. They shouldn’t look to sports stars for ideas of how to behave, far more of them are far from perfect in regards to morals.

I rate the top sports stars on their ability, nit their behave. I accept that not everyone does.

 

[Whydowedoit]

I reckon he’d be a really interesting guy to have a few beers with actually! Not sure I wanted him to win it, but the way he went about it was so different & he won me over. His greatest ever victory I’d say. Really good Masters as usual. Thought the changes to the 5th were good, & it’ll be very interesting to see if they lengthen 13 & how that will play. Strong performance from Ian Poulter deserves credit too.
