Tiger injured again!?

[Mastercracker]

He might not be the warmest, friendliest of characters and has a hell of a lot of baggage these days, but I for one find it sad to see him decline like this. I'm almost certain that if Tiger Woods had not come along and broken down a fair few barriers there is no way a working class Painter and Decorator from Yorkshire and his son with only a passing interest in Golf beforehand would have taken up and ultimately joined a golf club in 1997, and for that reason I'll always be a fan.

Me too, he certainly fuelled my desire to play golf - I sincerely hope he's not got to quit through injury, it would be nice to see him bow out gracefully at a time of his own choosing. I'm still a big fan.

Is this a recurrence of the last injury or a different one..?
Not that it makes much difference, once your back is dodgy, it's dodgy and you're on a slippery slope.
Almost everyone was amazed he came back as soon as he did from the last one....too soon obviously.
If he's got any sense he will rest up for the remainder of the year and into March next.....
IF he comes back at all......wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't.
Having had so many back problems now, every time he swings a club it's going to be in the back of his kind that it's going to go again.
Another swing thought he doesn't need.

After all the negative press about golf viewing figures in the US due to the lack of Tiger it must have been suggested that he play sooner rather than later. He certainly wasn't physically ready for it so why else would he do it ?

Nah, Woods came back to have a crack at 2 majors within a few weeks of each other.

You really think he's bothered by the drop in viewing figures?!

erm because he wants to and he's very competitive............just a wild guess but nearer the mark I reckon than your nonsense about being railroaded!

 

[cookelad]

Said it before and will probably say it again and again he need to learn to swing the club rather than hit the ball, heard a number of club pros say when he first burst on the scene that his back would never survive a career unless he changed.

Says it's a difference injury to the one he's just had surgery on, is it good that it's a new piece falling off or would you prefer to know the piece they've already reattached once might need doing again?

Nah, think this is the reason why he withdrew and nearer the truth.

Might get to see some other players during the coverage of the PGA this week rather than Tigger shooting 76

I was thinking the same. Was getting fed up of. Watching tiger duff a drive again tiger in the rough again tiger in a bunker again tiger misses a put again etc. Perhaps we will see some descent golf at Valhalla.

Tiger will be replaced by the next ranking player on the us money list ranked outside the top 70 on the list. So instead of watching tiger struggle you can watch someone you've probably never heard of struggle, sounds like great TV !

Err, no, they'll concentrate on the leaders and the guys who are playing well.

That's all they show ? Let's have a wager then, for every shot they show from someone who isn't in the leading group or playing well you give £10 to h4h. If they don't show anything other that the leaders or people playing well I'll give £250 to h4h.

There's more to TV golf than Tiger Woods!
Maybe we'll see a few Europeans playing instead of a super slow motion replay of Woods putting his glove on.

So with Tiger playing they wouldn't have showed anything of Rory, Rose, Sergio etc etc ? Don't think I said there wasn't anything more than Tiger to good TV, feel free to make stuff up, might be better to reread what I posted though

Just seen the images of him after the swing on the. 9th - looked like he could hardly walk but looked ok,before - certainly looked in a lot of pain - think it's clear he was never ready to play again.

At least he got he final good old spit on camera as he was getting in his car !!

I love all the advice all the hackers on here give to 18-major winning Tiger Woods.

I'd take tiger on in his current form


I bet tom watson is thinking "phew, thats one phone call i wasn't looking forward to make"

 

[Joff]

I'd back Eldrick against you with your handicap in his current condition with a 7 iron and a lob wedge.

If you read what I initially wrote I said "concentrate" on the leaders, this doesn't mean they will be covered exclusively. TV has marquee groups to follow on Thurs & Fri to fit with their broadcast times. I get sick of watching Tiger at the weekend when he is way out of contention yet we see every shot, then a replay, then talking about why it went wrong, then have to watch him scowling, spitting and cussing his way round the course.

Yep I agree. In the past few weeks it's been great seeing Rory Sergio and Ricky fighting it out, but must admit seeing the 'supposedly' greatest (although 5 short of the all time claim) dogging it around BEFORE his back went on the 9th, was............ Enjoyably Different!
