Tiger will win 2014 Open

[Val]

Tiger has no chance, I'd put my house on it.

He hasn't had 4 competitive rounds since March.

I'll go as far to say he'll be lucky to make the cut

Bookies don't know what to expect that's why he is 20/1 , the might not make much on him but wont get fleeced if he finds form ..

IMO its not a price to make you dash out to get on it ,

but anyone who says Tiger has NO chance , have short memory's



EDIT ... Sorry Martin , was posting at same time as you , just my thoughts on it mate

 

[Birchy]

How many places you paying for EW?

If I had the money I would lay the knackers off him

Its like people backing England to win the world cup, living in cloud cuckoo land :rofl:

Has something happened in recent memory though or back to when he won at Hoylake the last time ?

No probs Bill, dhort memory's maybe, there are a few in better form who have majors that people would shoot down with no chance. Rory for example.

Open a new account with Paddy Power over the phone and get triple the odds!

Rose 40/1
Rory 45/1
Tiger 66/1

Short memory of Tiger , IF and i say IF he is fully fit , IMO he is always in with a chance of winning in every comp he tees it up in ,

 

[shewy]

Very weather dependant, if it blows then Rory has no chance, can't see tiger doing much either, smart money would be a top 5 for rose, Donald, Kutcher, right where's my skybet app

Yes IF but it's 4 bruising rounds with punishing rough and tough weather and he hasn't been able to do it over 4 rounds in the majors since 2008 - he still,has knee issues even without the back issues. Before 2008 and he is up there every time and he would be around on the 4th day - now I think it's mainly in the masters as that's the less punishing course physically for him

Whilst i wouldnt back Tiger at 20/1...i wouldnt personally lay him off at 20/1

I would, however, love to have a bit of 30/1 for him missing the cut. Bet365 have him at 11/4 to do so!!

It's the odds that make it attractive, but he's played no competitive golf and will his back stand 4 rounds.

If he does pull it off, is it a bigger story than Jack winning the masters at 46?

IMO yes

If the weather is right he's got a chance, definitely of top 6 which is why I've backed him e/w

To be honest you could say that for at least 50 players in the field.

Only way Tiger wins if he chip and putts like the good old days. The driving is less of an issue for me.

My three tips: Dubuisson, Gallacher and Fowler.

Any odds on him NOT to win a Major again? I'll take it! :thup:

Lots have chance, but not many have Tigers experience of handling the pressure in the final few holes. I think the fact that he probably won't use the driver all week helps as well

Will he be able to leave the driver in the bag?
I know it's not been bad weather but Hoylake in 06 was parched and solid - will he get the run he needs taking irons off the tee..?

 

[JCW]

Great to hear his practice is going well and I look forward to seeing him play in the flesh on Friday :thup:

Anyone who believes Tiger has no chance is obviously a bit stupid!!!

Ok then , name your price , too many good players in form for him to beat , he has a chance coz he bought a ticket just like the lottery .....................EYG

IMO no.
He's what? 10 years younger and won one major with a broken(ish) leg.
I don't think he will win though.
