Tiger injured again!?

Surprising the lack of empathy THE greatest golfer ever (IMO) and the number 1 attraction golf is receiving.

i know it's been a long drawn out affair, and because he hasn't won a major for a while people get bored with him but, in 10, 20, 50 years time the man will be revered with the likes of Jordan, Ali, Ruth and Eric Meijer

go team woods:thup:
 
I, for one, hopes that whatever he suffers from that he returns ASAP . He is the reason that loads of players took up the game, in fact, one of my FC's said that he took up the game after watching Tiger

I have empathy for him if he is genuinely injured but he said he did it on his 2nd shot on the 2nd hole.

The replays show him running backwards into the bunker and back out with no sign of a injury.

I think the swing is more broken than his body.

He wouldn't bother withdrawing playing badly with 9 holes to go of a 72 hole tournament!

A sad sight to see for golf and I hope he can make a swift recovery (and take on a better swing coach).
 
I'll be happy if he doesn't come back as that means I win my bet with RickG that he will never win another major! :thup:
 
Sad to see but I can honestly see the retirement announcement coming sooner rather than later. He will not hang around for top 10 finishes and I think his body is not up to much more.

Not really, the sport moves on and the next legend will emerge, maybe he's already here, maybe he'll emerge in 10 years time.
Legends come and go ...................... and I think now is Woods' time to go.

Sad to hear, but does solve a couple of problems! :rolleyes:

Nothing wrong with Foley as a swing coach! I think Tiger returned too early from the surgery! As others have said, his body is pretty crocked! Finding a swing that allows him to compete, without risking further damage to knee and back, was always a huge ask! It has never been a Freddy Couples style one! I see the same thing - stress on his back - as the greatest challenge to Rory's career!

Who the heck is Eric Meijer?
 
He is a great player, no doubt one of, if not the best to ever walk the fairways.

But his greatness for me has been tainted by the lack of respect for the game.. spitting, swearing, club throwing and poor attitude are not the hallmarks of a truly great champion.

I hope he comes back after injury though, he will always bring in the crowds.

I suggest that the man has the best doctors/surgeon/physio that money can buy. You think he came back too early, Tiger obs needs a life coach, send him your number, who knows...
 
Genuinely sorry to read about this. Firstly, I hope it's just a twinge rather than a recurrence of his injury. If it is more serious I hope he takes as long as he needs this time, even it means a year off or whatever. Sort it out and only come back when there's no doubt about it.

If there is an upside it might mean Tom Watson doesn't have to face the Hobson's choice over whether to pick him or not.
 
Maybe his pride is hurting more then his back , but they did say years ago his golf swing would take its toll on his body and it has , they say the same about Rory . I just dont know why he came back so early and played so little golf and expect to do well in the big comps with so many young hungary guys around . should take a break now and sort himself out and give it a go early next year to build up to the masters , if its still bad then time to quit
 
Not gonna trawl through what will most likely have been the same stuff that's always trotted out on here. But if his backs gone again I hope he calls it a day for his long term health. The man has changed the way golf is viewed today. If he hadmt shown up, maybe someone else would have although I don't think anyone in close to. 20 years has been anywhere near him.

The he fact tht more youngsters watch the game is in part down to him and the massive audiences that he has drawn into the game. He'll probably end up not being known as the greatest of all time as he's not as nice as Jack. But he's the greatest I've ever seen and my immeasurable distance too. He's record is comparable to anyone's. They fact he's won a quarter of events he's entered speaks enough for me.

Shant post on here again as tends to go tit for tat. But if he is done, for me it's been a privelage watching one of the greats of the games career from start to unfortunate finish.

Or maybe it's because he's not won as many majors?

You're damned right it's been a privilege, especially the U.S.Open in 2000, unbelievable player.

Why wouldn't he? Did you see some of the shots he he hit? Nearly 100 yards short on a 200 yard par 3.

He showed no signs of the injury before the 9th, which happens to be right near the clubhouse, slight coincidence!?
