Running Tiger Woods thread

You're correct. My bad.

That 65 though.

 

I remember watching that 65. Everything was striped.

 

The coverage was hilarious. All tiger.

And my wife ate it up. You'd have thought it was the back nine on Sunday at Augusta. She was a couple of glasses of wine I , and living and dying with every shot. And a few f bombs thrown at Charley.

 

Imagine getting mad at Hoffman! That's awesome.

 

I can hear her now. "Shank it, you fucking long-haired hippee!"

 

We've seen him play at Riviera, and we know his backstory.
But he's fat and ugly and Tiger looks like a God with his pecs and smile. My wife is all in.

 

Tiger's back, baby! How do I know? People are mad that one of the two greatest golfers in history who has played like three times in two years and is now looking good (in an exhibition) is getting more coverage than a journeyman with four victories.

My favorite is when Mushnick and others used to always get ticked off that Tiger's name would be listed first on the leaderboard if he was tied with like 8 different people at -4. But Charles Howell III finished already and is in the clubhouse so should be listed first! Yeah, well, too bad.

I mean, if Tiger's career had started in 2013, when as a young rookie he won 5 times on Tour (again more than Hoffman's won in his career), then had his career derailed by back injuries, and then he came back to this little exhibition in 2017, he'd be getting -- deservedly -- more coverage than good ol' Charley. But he happened to also have that amateur career, and then the pro career from 1996-2012. So, yes, announcers are going to be talking about him a lot (and being fairly impressed that he's scoring the same as players who are now the best in the world).

THAT SAID. If he blows up this weekend I will not be shocked. If he starts wincing on the tee and later says, "No, it's fine. Normal.Feel great," and in three weeks we here through a tweet he's in for another back surgery, I won't be shocked. But the next two days, if I miss a Tiger Woods shot because they're showing a Charley Fucking Hoffman shot, I'll be cutting the cord and going on Periscope for 20 minutes to rant about the Golf Channel.

 

I don't think there's been a missed Woods shot in two days on the Golf Channel. Relax.

 

I'm not mad. I just think the fawning is a little over the top, that's all. That said, like everyone else, I want to see a Tiger-Hoffman duel down the stretch Sunday on Magnolia Lane.

 

Charley will fade with a 76 and Tiger with an 80!

 

Woods back to earth today. Should tamp down the hype.

Watching with no sound. Seems like not a health issue. Just “off” in what looks like windy conditions.

Vegas, as always, surely raked in the 15-1 money yesterday.

Still, regardless of score, it’s all health. Doesn’t seem to be ailing.

 

He's well on his way to that 80. Can't pull himself out of a bad spiral. That's a layoff from competition problem.
