Masters 2019

[Blue in Munich]

Absolutely fantastic. Recorded it earlier today and just watched it. That lag putt on 9 was sensational.

Just for the people questioning his integrity and morals. I think the statistic is that 50% of the people you know cheat on their partners.

I remember tiger talking to the media when he was just breaking through and he was so enthusiastic and engaging. I think the media broke him over the years. Latterly he has become more balanced and is now as happy as he was back then. I think there's more to come.

The fact that he cheats on his partner is between him & his partner, it's none of my business; that is, until they start promoting stuff based on a squeaky clean image that they don't actually have. The percentage of people doing it is neither here nor there.

Im absolutely delighted for Tiger, ive lost £500 on Molinari but this is a massive victory for Tiger, probably his greatest acheivement after his injuries.

👍 Every sportsman who is endorsed is 'squeaky clean'. Only 50% of them are humping someone that isn't their partner.

Let’s use Gatorade as an example, have a look at this advert and you tell me what market it was aimed at.

Oh bore off, one of the greatest sporting comebacks of all time and you bring up an advert and his endorsements from a decade ago 😴😴😴

Pretty poor show attacking his personal life now that they can't question his golfing ability.

I think this years Masters has been a phenomenal spectacle and really throws golf back into the limelight. The Tiger factor really enhances viewing and interest. Absolutely delighted for him. I also believe it showed that despite how good some golfers are they are simply not Tiger class when the heat is on.

Jealousy.

Can anyone find/show any of these ads or promotions that supposedly highlights TW as a squeaky clean wholesome family man?
Most of the things I see Tiger promoting heavily revolves around his job. Doing golf things. Unless I'm missing the wholesome message the companies are trying to get across.

I certainly think that he was prepared to win thise one. Carnoustie he had a chance but it almost came as a shock to him.

On the 12th tee he backed his putting and from then.on seemed.to be back to the zoned in tiger we've all seen for years. Certainly a calmness that not many else had.

Having watched pretty much every shot of his as well as the playing partners of his, he could easily have shot lower on the first day, where as others have scrambled and got the most out of their rounds..

Before the masters it was all that tiger hasn’t got it anymore

Now he’s won they switch to picking his personal life apart instead

Class

His personal life is not being picked apart, it's been well documented. It's come up because of the debate about whether or not he is the greatest golfer of all time. Some people are prepared to overlook the indiscretions and judge him purely on his golfing ability, others among us consider that there is more to golf and life, and therefore aren't prepared to overlook the indiscretions when making their judgement on who they consider to be the greatest.

I don't think anyone has suggested he can't play the game & to suggest otherwise is a little disingenuous.

As an old'n who's played through injury I was just delighted to see Tiger show that he is possibly the GOAT, and when you consider the quality of golfers around today I thought it's amazing that he could not only play golf again but to win st the highest level. I dont care what he does in his other life, there are plenty of sports people who aren't life role models but to win the Masters after all he's been through is utterly amazing 😁

It was pretty exciting TV viewing for a round of golf. Never been a Tiger fan, certainly not a fan of the man, but you have to admire his ability on a golfing front. After the back and health issues he has been through, the comeback is a pretty amazing story. Still won't make me like him as a person, but I have to respect the determination and the way he put his game back together in order to win another major.

Brilliant viewing and some in the media calling it the greatest comeback since Muhammed Ali. I really don't care about what he did off the course and who he lied to. How many guys at your club do you think have or are doing the dirty, or have taken drugs/are drinking too much and does it really make a difference to them rocking up in the roll up, playing and having a laugh?

It was great to watch and the early start and three balls worked although unless the weather intervenes we won't see it again next year as I can't see it appealing to the domestic TV market being shown that early. Great for the game also as there will be a host of juniors that will only have heard of Woods, perhaps seen the re-runs and only really know about the injuries and bad stuff and can now see him back to his best. That has to be inspirational and I hope we can see a pick up at junior level on the back of this

The time was perfect for youngsters both sides of the pond to view the round

Maybe it’s something they should consider for all events!

Not a Tiger fan, wasn't really when he was at his peak, but have to say he played some wonderful golf. When he did miss, it was always in the right areas.

 

[MegaSteve]

One of the greatest sporting spectacles of recent times... Tough to watch Frankie fall apart and not go on to secure another major... Great to see so many others putting up a serious challenge to take the win... Pleasing to see an 'old stager' hang on in there long enough for a another Master's win that many believed was no longer in him...

Great afternoon...

 

[Bxm Foxy]

Pretty poor coverage on the whole. The music absolutely cringeworthy!!!

I take it you have a difficulty following conversations!
Feel free to post anywhere were people have denied his golfing ability or his victory yesterday.

I dont see it like that, he fininshed -11 and was +2 on the day, played the first 11 very well. Tiger had very lucky breaks at 13 and 10 or 11 getting lines of sight after poor tee shots.
Molinari should have played for the bunkers on 12, that was his one mistake, he didn't mishit it, the wind swirls, he went for the flag and he was a few feet short due to wind. He birdied 13 I think straight after so the head hadn't gone. No way did the wheels come off like Rory in 2010 was it?
With 15 he looked like a safe 5 but caught a branch, not a mishit or chunk, bit of bad luck after getting out of position from tee and slightly overhitting the shot back into play. Hadn't clipped the branch he could easily have forced the play off.

Ifs buts and maybes now but not a choke imo.

 

[Deleted member 21258]

The game was way more dead and buried till Arnie blitzed it. Can't deny Tiger is the man of his time but he's no better than any number of number 1's of their time too.

Do you really believe that ?
