I didn't say that so, please, feel free to re-read my post.
Now read the above that has been highlighted in red ......................... do you see where I'm coming from?
That's a lot of TV coverage I won't miss.

So when you said without slow mo's of tiger putting his glove on they'd be able to show some Europeans, you actually meant they'd be showing lots of europeans anyway, thanks for clearing that up

About time, can't understand why he's been with him so long, need to forget his differences and get back with Butch.

My views on Tiger are conflicting. I don't much like him, and it think he's hurting himself in this apparent desire for more speed and explosive distance.
However, I think he's the best player ever to play the game (note: the best, not the greatest) and it's a shame to see him fall so far from where he once was. I don't think he'll ever get back there, and I think that's a fact he's struggling to accept and he's damaging his body in an effort to recapture his old game. He could still be competitive if he throttled it back to 80% off the tee but it seems he won't even countenance that approach. If he doesn't change, then he'll break himself irreparably and he'll be finished.
Whatever he does, he transformed golf and anyone who saw him at the top of his game was privileged to do so. Whether you like the guy or not, or have a problem with TV showing disproportionate amounts of Tiger, nobody can deny his positive affect on the game (not saying there weren't negatives) or his brilliance.

Tiger's caddie was walking the course today, doing his yardages etc. Tiger also due to do a press conference from the course tomorrow morning. Perhaps it was a spasm, and not as bad as first thought.

Of bigger concern than how bad is the injury, will he play the PGA, who will the TV companies show etc...
...He changed his shoes in the car-park for goodness sake!!!
Wake up people its the golfing apocalypse... but thankfully since it was Tiger at least it was televised so at least we know to prepare
Oh, and get well soon Tiger

The original injury was described as a spasm and unless I am mistaken, spasms are usually due to an underlying problem. If it was a spasm, and given his recent history, I would have thought he'd be ill advised to try to compete this week.
Personally I think the he's better calling it a day for this season, giving himself time to recover, giving butch a call and coming back all guns blazing next season.
It seems to me that his pig headed desire to compete and win may be doing him some irreparable damage from which he may never recover. I'm no expert though, and I hope I'm wrong, but things really aren't looking too good for him at the moment.

Ive not read all the posts and TBH don't watch much US golf, but doesn't he withdraw quite often with some sort of injury when he's playing crap?

Only when he's injured
so if he was playing well he would have stuck it out?

It probably is an underlying problem.
However back spasms come and go and you never know when your going to have one.
Some are very small and take a couple of days recovery and the serious ones a few weeks.
To be honest though its totally different to me and him having one.
He has the best treatment available to him 24/7 I would just have to rest and hope
for the best.
He could rest and rehabilitate for months but it could go again at any time.

Totally agree Tony. I have had spasms that have have stopped me playing mid round, but two days later my back is fine again. Last one was so severe I couldn't play for five weeks. Since that one three years ago have not had another. It is swinging a golf club that seems to cause them, so had to change my silky smooth swing, for the current lurch at the ball.
