    Tiger was the Beatles. He came along and changed the the way golf was played. But like the Beatles, he filled a void.
    When Tiger was Tiger, he only had to beat Vijay, a sloppy, choking Phil, and a few over the hill guys like Freddy. He was one of the few guys who lived over 300 off the tee. Those guys rolled over at the sight of him. I said no racist crap!

    The tour now are all guys who grew up with Tiger. They all hit 3 woods 300 plus now. Tiger was great, one of a kind, when he played. But way more week to week competition now.

    Tiger lost his nuts to a putter-wielding Elin Nordegren in 2009.
    Pretty sure she went after him with an iron, not a putter.
    All I know is his wood was busy being used on the hookers and pornstars.

    Club selection is important. Stevie pulled the iron for her

    To say that Spieth's career is over because of the Masters and specifically the 12th hole is FS ... he has been struggling for the better part of the year while still putting up solid results. He put together 1 good round at the Masters and put enough band aids on his game to carry him through the next 2.5 rounds, including a H2H victory in Round 3 over Rory, before all hell broke loose. His career record at the Masters is a win and 2 seconds. His putting makes him a definite horse for the course. He will win at least 5 more majors in his career and I'd be really surprised if he didn't get to at least 4 Masters. And to also say that he has no appeal to the general public is also foolosh ...

    Jason Day is not only a great player but a great story ... you could see his potential going back to 2011-2012. Really look forward to see what he has going forward.

    Rory needs to dedicate himself to break into the Day/Spieth level. He has the ability but something is missing right now.

    As for Tiger, he isn't getting to 18. But I also think it is premature to say that he will never win another major.

    Spieth never had to play a ranked Rocco Mediate.

    I'm not surprised that you are handing Spieth a moral victory. All the bull shit about his swing is bull shit. Like Tiger, he wins with his putter. His swing has never been great.

    He had a fucking 5 shot lead heading into the back nine on Sunday and 3 holes and 45 minutes later had gagged 7 shots and trailed by 4. There is no spin on that - that will always leave a mark.

    He'll contend and win some but not very many if any majors. His aura is dead and gone at 22. Now he looks like a jumpy little fuck who won't shut up with his caddie and pull the fucking trigger. That is only going to get worse.

    Laying the sod on his penalty shot from the wrong location is a huge mental error. And he's supposed to be so smart. I mean, he's white and shit
