Tiger Woods and the Masters
Not a real big fan of golf but i do find the Masters interesting. i really wish Tiger hadn't returned to the masters. HIs being there has taken all the coverage away from all the other players. there will be a lot of good players there and several great players there but it will all be about Tiger.

I went to the Masters back in 2012. One of the best sporting events/ weeks I have ever attended.

Say what you want but he has to be tough as carpenter nails to even play at that level after the wreck. If you EVER or never get to Augusta you will believe in the eight wonder of the world. Spectacular..imo.

It will never be the same for me now that I know all the birds singing are just a soundtrack😉.

Yesterday it was all about Tiger, he was in the running at 1 under par. At least 60 percent of the tv show yesterday was Tiger. No, 70 percent.
Today he slipped, he is way back at 3 over and they aren't paying much attention to him. If Tiger doesn't make the cut, they will probably just cancel the Masters, and on Sunday CBS Sports will feature a live broadcast of Tiger playing putt-putt at Six Flags Over Georgia.

I can't even watch it because of all the orgasmic Tiger talk. He has ruined the Masters for me. I can only hope that he misses the cut, or - even better - suffers a devastating injury while playing. Yes, I know what that makes me for wishing it, but I cannot stand that SoB.

I am a Tiger fan, but this is too much for me. Way too much. It is bizarre how much coverage they are giving to Tiger Woods.
I stand corrected, just watching it from the corner of my eye with the sound off, but 1/3 of the coverage today is Tiger.
No make it 50 percent, he hit a birdie and might be back in the running. There are still 25 guys ahead of him, but they are not interesting to ESPN.

Yup. Good thing they only show the announcers above the waist. Those wet crotches would be embarrassing.

As usual, the woke can't say anything without bringing race into it. Why isn't he the greatest Philippine golfer the world has ever seen?

Watch him while you can, probably the best golfer there ever was and probably ever will be! You dont have to like him, but thats a fact.

He is +1 and he made the cut

The Masters. Surprised the woke mob hasn't had a conniption about that name.
Ssshhhh! What are you thinkin'? Don't post that on an open forum or they'll be on it like white on rice! (White rice, of course, not that brown stuff.)

With his money what I can't understand is why he don't have a chauffeur. In his heyday he could put a golf ball in a hole better than anybody. Now he is just TV ratings material. His son looks to have talent, so I look for Tiger to play in the Master with him before long.

He use to be a great golfer.
But he is a despicable human being.
One thing can be said everything wrong with him is his own doing. No one held him back.

I agree that Tiger brought all of his bad ju ju on himself but that doesn't negate the fact that he is undeniably one of if not the best golfer that ever played the game.
I give him credit for fighting his way back and (trying) to overcome what would have made most of us here a home bound invalid.
Tiger, like most of us has made some pretty stupid decisions in his life, the difference is that when we did it wasn't broadcast to the entire planet so I say give the man some slack ................ There but for the grace of God there goes anyone of us.

Tiger is a two faced idiot. I hope the wheels fall off of his come-back.

He is way back, probably 15 shots out of first. No way he can win but he gave it a good try.
3 -
I tuned in for a while today. It was nauseating the way they televised every single shot he made, despite being as much as 18 shots off the lead. And then they had to interview him afterwards. Can you name ANY other player they interviewed after finishing 18 shots off the lead? No.
On a positive note, it was absolutely heartwarming to see Harold Varner III playing. A Black player at the Masters, with a White caddie. Love it. Some things really do get better.

rocky not sure that is better but i do understand the irony of the situation. each of those jobs are very important in a golf tournament.

I think Tiger is 44. He is competing with guys half his age. Why do you think the crowds were lining the fairways. They are there to watch him make history. He can be 18 shots out and they still want to watch him.

The Golden Bear used to beat the pants off of boys half his age. He also won 18 majors which is 3 more than the tiger. He won the '86 Masters at 46 years of age.

Jim,l love TIGGER from 'Winnie The POOH'. The golf week not so much. l have lived thru this golf madness for the last 50 yrs. Landed in this town 1972 after Viet Nam. April golf week rolls around, Gas goes up 10-15cents a gallon. Restaurants add 50% to the tab. Motels simply add an extra ZERO. Wife's family is mourning Aunt Barbara's passing last week. Barbara's TWO golf tickets PASSED away too🙄
Monday cant come too soon. All the crowd will be GONE. The golf tigger TOO🤗

I hear ya, fatcat. I would not want to be a resident of Augusta - unless I could sell parking space and run a shuttle to the course.
You are certainly correct about the prices. We stayed at a Comfort Inn in 2018. Those are usually pretty good hotels. Not yours. It was a dump. In our room, the hair dryer had been ripped off the wall and stolen; neither replaced nor repaired. No comp breakfast, no extras of any kind. For $300 a night.

Not a tiger fan, but........
I understand that, in the past, he could draw in 50% more ad money for the players pot.....maybe more.
There's been "lower" players, in the past, that have stated he helped put their kids through college. That's because GOOD prize money extended way down the finishers list....when HE played.
I find it interesting that he held all the "money people" in suspense.........all week........right up to tee-time.
JMHO.........overall.......he'll never equate to a Jack, Arnie, or Gary.

I'll watch today, but not until late in the afternoon, when Woodsie will be off the course. And hopefully off the tour for good.

Its a beautiful day if I’m doing anything with golf I would be hitting a ball, not watching it.
Tiger is a human & good or bad he has done many things that humans do.
I know I wouldn’t have wanted to live under the public microscope he does.
I wish the dude well, though I’m pretty much indifferent to pro sports, let alone professional golf.

OK...........who is the joker that gave me a disagree for calling Tigger two faced? He is a philandering idiot and a drug addict who wrecked his car and almost lost his leg. He came back because of his money for the medical care and he didn't get charged with DUI because..........well, he is Tigger. All the while he tries to maintain a goody two shoes media image. Give me a break.
Give me another disagree.

Don't feel bad @mohawk600 I got one too.
Tiger is where he is right now due to his choices and actions.

I’d as soon watch paint dry than watch golf.
