The mullet and tash help as well , straight out of an Aussie soap - just a superb player , stunning putter - game seems perfectly suited for links golf - will be winning a major at some point soon ( prob the Masters )

Shame Woods is going out today, watched his interview last night and his face was lit up as he talked about The Open and St Andrews. We will see him again, he still has too much enthusiasm for the game, but I fear his days of challenging are over.

Agreed, I could only feel for him today, watching him struggling out there.

Looks like a speedo, scale of 0-100 (100 being the best) where the best golfers and purest strikers of the ball only seem to get a result somewhere between 50 and 79. Not sure what the metrics or algorithm suggests but duck hooks and flushed shots basically return the same score. Used more sparingly today thankfully.... however, instead of that this morning we were treated to what seemed like a 10 minute miniseries to do with a lost teddy bear the wrong side of the ropes!

Was it developed by the same people who developed the PCC calculation for handicaps?

Although over 60 he was given a special invite as it is the 150th
You know, the irony is that we really shouldn’t have to. I know he’s still Box Office to some, but with some really good golf being played out there I just find the continuing obsession with Tiger, especially given his very obvious struggles, just a little distasteful.
He’ll never get close to what he was, and it’s a real shame having his travails rammed down our throats.

Think he was stupid for coming back so early should have wrote the year off or just played St Andrews ... his right leg looks like a twig

I find myself getting rather sad watching Tiger like this. It’s always been difficult to watch him when he’s struggling as his face carries all the anguish he is facing, but it really does seem like a case of “the spirit is willing but the body is weak” sort of thing.
The level of determination to even be there, to fight for every last shot, is really admirable.. but for him physically to be struggling so much is just really sad.

It is sad seeing Tiger joint 150th. The coverage does not help. It is not as if he can work on his game and fitness in a low key way at some smaller events. As soon as he picks up a club it is world news but there is noboday around to fill that media spotlight and unlikely to be another for some considerable time. Is it a case of, so far as mainstream media is concerned, golf still needs Tiger to get the coverage.

The Open website had him for the featured group today. I can sort of understand why they picked his group yesterday. However, given he was well out of contention after Day 1, it would have been nice if they could have selected a different group for this mornings play. Not sure if it was simply a case that they were committed to showing his group for the 1st 2 days, and could make no change after Day 1.

And that’s why Woods was there this week - for that , no other golfer gets that and it’s fully deserved , amazing reception full of emotion

Yea, enjoyed watching that. You can tell it was an occasion that the other golfers respected as well. Rory's group stopped to applaud him up the 18th. Out of contention or not - what he's done for golf in the past 25 years cannot be understated.

Fantastic send off for Tiger and richly deserved. Yes he's struggling now and nowhere near what he was but it will be a long time until we see his like again.
Was great to see him in person yesterday when I was there even tho' he was struggling.
And moving on to the tournament, I really hope Rory can find his very best golf and win this week. So many amazingly talented guys playing, no wonder it's so hard to win any tournamnet these days. He'll need to play his very best to win but he's deffo in with a shout.
