Finish of the Northern Trust today-WOW!

And today Rory is proving he's the best in the World. Classy kid.

And wood just fired a 62 with a 2 on 17 and eagle on 18. The lowest round of his professional career. Rory should win and take over #1. Donald needs to bulk up and get with the program.

Bottom line, wood shot his best ever final round-and it wasn't good enough. If Rory can beat him when wood is at his best, doesn't that kinda prove who's best? YEP!!!! Biggest plus is that the world has a #1 ranked player that has some class-congrats Rory.

HAHAHA I OWN this board, the people that love that arrogant 'N' wood have been slapped to silence-he CHOKED............AGAIN, and even these never-weres that scream for him (do they think he'll ever acknowledge them) have to wonder if the young studs that are here NOW-and not afraid of him, will continue to dissapoint his followers. But y'know what kids? I hope that those imbeciles keep following him and screaming 'get in the hole' when he makes contact-----I SCREAM with laughter when he puts it in a trap or waters it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 'Happy days are here again da-da-da-da-da-da..............' Enjoy it........I AM! HAHA!!

Sorry to disappoint you ChunkyChaser, but you are so out of touch with the modern golf fan it's almost embarrassing.

Here's the skinny...

Tiger is the biggest name in golf. He brings in the fans and the revenue. Right now, there are a ton of really talented golfers on the PGA Tour, but none of them have the elite "brand" of a Tiger Woods yet. They still need time to establish their own brand, and they will... no question. But that's the future.

Tiger is the present. Without a draw like Tiger in the field, well... we saw what happened during his "hiatus" after all the domestic shenanigans happened. Golf lost its biggest star for awhile and a large part of the audience walked away from supporting pro golf and many of them still haven't come back.

With a household name like Tiger actually playing competitive golf and contending in tournaments it gives the up and coming stars some credibility when they win - and unfortunately for you CrustyCrater, Tiger is still the benchmark. Tiger still outdraws the entire field as far as putting asses in seats. Everyone from first to worst owes homage to Tiger for the increased wealth they now receive.

You continually sound like a wrestling mark, looking for anything that confirms your bias and then blasting it for all to hear, while disregarding anything which would refute your bias. Who knows, maybe you are a wrestling fan... by which the following statement, often made by one of the all-time greats Ric Flair should resonate : "To be THE MAN, you have to beat THE MAN.".

Hard to do that when "THE MAN" isn't playing.

This will no doubt come as a surprise, but I don't cheer for Tiger anymore. I do however like what he brings to the game. His success, his presence, and his brand are good for the game. He brings in money and sponsors, which elevate purses. The money attracts the most elite talent in the world.

We get to watch the best golfers in the world on a weekly basis instead of some diluted talent pool. They come from everywhere around the globe to be on your TV screen every week. Golf fans are SPOILED with talent nowadays, especially here in North America. The talent pool on the US PGA Tour has never been so deep.

To be honest CrotchCritter, you sound like a jealous piece of former poon who isn't getting any Tiger Wood these days.

Rory could win a bunch of majors and still not hold a candle to tiger. Tiger is a once in a life time athlete, never mind golfer. Tiger is to golf wharlt Ali is to boxing and MJ is to basketball. He is the benchmark upon all who follow will be compared to, but never quite reach. Jack won more majors but most people wouldnt who the fuk he is.

I remember Jack playing, too bad there's too many snot-nosed kids on here that think everything pertaining to their era is the greatest. Funny how you talk about Ali but don't remember Jack......................? A bit of hypocrisy, eh?

Maybe not into golf at that time. I know I wasn't.

The reason I remember Ali is because he had a profile. He was always in the news and was mobbed by crowds everywhere he went, including the times he came to Oz. Nobody gave a crap about some fat white guy playing an old man's game. Since Jack's time golf has become a main sream sport, thanks to guys like him and Seve and Norman before him. When Jack stopped being competitive golfers were still playing for peanuts. Norman and Seve got the ball rolling and increased the popularity and therefore prizemoney in golf to something golfers in Jack's day could only dream about. Then Tiger came along and golf went to another level again. Tiger is sport's first billionaire. And don't try to talk about inflation either, cause when Jack was playing for peanuts Ali was earning 5 mil per fight. The reason golf had such low prizemoney was because til Seve, Norman and then Tiger there was nobody good enough to make people pay good money to watch it, and it rated so poorly netowrks wouldn't pay much for the rights and major sponsors couldn't be found.

No it's not hypocritical that nobody remembers Jack. He just wasn't that memorable.

You are correct that Tiger is the first golfer to really transcend the sport of golf and become a superstar, a household name to your average sports fan. Nicklaus may be ranked higher and considered the better golfer but only by those that actually follow the sport of golf.

Funny how you single out Ali and Jack, why don't you compare NFL, NBA, and MLB salaries from then up until now? Very good-but narrow minded, point. Hey sport, you can't have it both ways. And I'm assuming you never heard of a guy that ALL PGA players refer to as 'The King'? He kinda helped the game out too.............

And this weeks tourney..............kinda wierd that wood is down 7 strokes, the expert/wood @$$ kissers were saying how ell he's dominated on this course-but that was 'back then'...........................

So far this year he's had several tournaments where he has come close ti winning, finsihed 2nd or 3rd. Bubba Watson was on absolute fire yesterday. 10 birdies and made the course look like a pitch and putt. When that guy is "on" I don't think there's anyone who is better. I think his putter lets him down a lot.

I agree, Bubba could be better if his game within 100 yds was as good as some of the others-he'd be great then.

It was good to see the tv networks give tiger the respecthe deserves and show most of his round. Even though he was stinking the course up for the most part, and was nowehere near being in contention, he still got the lions share of air time and I got to see pretty much every step he took during today's round. Johnny Miller and Co deserve some kudos for ignoring the leaders and focussing on Tiger, it was much appreciated by all the viewers. BTW, I couldn't tell you who Tiger was paired with, I didn't see anyone else in his group once. Maybe Tiger was playing as a single?

HAHA, too funny NAH! And unfortunately true. I think if he misses The Masters it will still be a great show, those young kids make the game as exciting as ever. Or maybe an old guy-Couples, Phil...will wear The Green Jacket. Either way, The Masters is the most exciting show on earth....simply great stuff, a great story is told there every year.

The Masters without Tiger is like a peanut butter sandwich with no jelly. It's blah blah blah, just like your posts. I have a feeling Tiger is going to win The Masters this year. You heard it here first.

Man, the last thing anyone wants to see is Mickelson lumbering down the fairway with his silly hair and Jim Nance talking "Another one for the family!". That sh!t puts me to sleep.

Whatever happens, please let anyone win other than Schwartzel. That sounds like something you'd order with chips.

Really? I'll tellya whats getting old, having to watch wood when he's 7 shots back-and listening to the imbeciles in his gallery with their stupid non-golf screams. Do they think they're somehow inspiring him, or do they think he might say 'come on over here buddy, you belong out here with me'? What drives these people to act like that? God, I don't know what I'd do if I saw some idiot scream like they do-well first of all I wouldn't be there.....I'd be watching THE LEADERS! I WILL watch The Masters especially if wood doesn't play, the coverage will be ALOT better.

In case you haven't noticed, Wood is not the only one who gets screams from neanderthal fans. Rory, Bubba and the rest get them as well. I wish they would kick these people off the course when they scream "get in the hole".

How could the coverage be better without Wood in the field? He's the best player of all time.

I heard plenty of 'get in the hole' s for Bubba on saturday. Only problem was they usually came s he was teeing off on par 5s.

The Masters without Tiger. I can't even imagine how great that would be for [I]true[/I] golf fans. The if it's not famous I want my mommy People Magazine types would disappear from the ratings but they could record a bunch of episodes of Entertainment Tonight and watch that.

I tend to take the longer view. Nicklaus won his last major, the Masters, when he was 46. Tiger has what? Ten more years? And Jack wasn't bullet-proof body-wise. Hell, he's got at least one artificial hip, maybe two. I wouldn't mind a Masters without Tiger this year. Let some young boy like Rory run away with it like he did at Congressional last summer and I won't have to suffer the syruppy schlock theme music and the sepulchral timbre of Nantz doing his best to entice one of his favorite players into Jimbo's Fellatio Chamber in the Buthole Cabin. Now if someone exciting is in contention like Bubba or Miguel Angel Carrera or such, then I'd have to forego the annual springtime rite of applying the primo Nazi death juice to the weeds in my lawn.

Why is it that people always refer to Nicklaus as out of shape or that somehow his body fell apart early? If anything it is the exact opposite of that. I remember watching some golf channel replay of one of the majors that Nicklaus won when he was in his mid thirties. To me he looked incredibly strong and athletic for a golfer of that era.

I think people see Nicklaus over the last 20 years and they automatically think that he's small and fragile. Nicklaus was in contention to win the Masters when he was 58 years old. Anyone remember that one?

Tiger is much wimpier than Nicklaus ever was. Don't get me wrong, I like watching Tiger play golf but there's no way he has an advantage over Nicklaus when it comes to fitness or injury. Nicklaus may have been stocky in his 30's but he was in great shape, and probably stronger than Tiger.

Nicklaus had hip replacement surgery when his career was already over.

Most guys can't do roids without breaking down early. I suspect Tiger's one of them. If so he may not do so well in his 40-s.

I don't know much about 'roids but looking at Tiger's physique, he still appears to have altered his body with something. Maybe human growth hormones. If those are steroids, then it could be. I mean his shoulders look like the prototypical NFL corner or big safety. A couple of years ago he was heavier and could have been an OLB. If Tiger was smart, he would bite the bullet and go to some teacher who could help him change his swing so that he doesn't have to go so hard into his left side to hit it well.

If wood didn't play there'd be more tickets for real golf fans, the bars would be less crowded while telecasts are on, maybe some of those people would quit playing golf, wearing their red shirts on Sundays just like their hero. Nut Nike does make some good stuff, I'll give'em that-and Phil Knight supports the Oregon Ducks.

I didn't see it but one of my buddies told me tonight that when he withdrew with injury they even had a helicopter filming his car as he left the course and drove away ignoring the golf tournament that was still being played.

That is true. I was watching from the UK. It was cringey.

Tiger in the field makes for a better Masters. Both sides of the hate fence get their wish.
Tiger has always been a bit of a pusssy though. Prior to his injuries, he would always give the excuse of being too tired to play more of a schedule. Whenever he hits a bunker shot into the wind, he violently twists away grimacing, as if he's been pepper sprayed. Whenever he's got a bit of a cold and plays, you'd think he's on death's door with his demeanor.

Totally agree. I gotta be honest watching golf without Tiger is boring as hell. With Tiger in the field, especially if he is playing well and in contention the coverage is far more interesting and potentially exciting.

Golf tournaments without Tiger are about as exciting as watching the Superbowl.

Don't know if it makes a difference if you've been to Augusta, but the course, crowd and atmosphere is really the star. From my perspective, what Tiger might add he also takes away and then some by distracting from the foregoing.

If he's healthy he might actually have a decent chance if he can hold his short putting together. His irons have been pretty good and he can avoid driver on most holes. But Augusta will test the best of short putters. So many 3 footers outside the hole.

Still, I hope he's not a factor because the whole Tiger show is what I find boring. It's just been aired too many times.

Last year the 3D channel used a completely different announcing team, Tirico, Azinger and Strange. I pray for the same this year. I don't know what's more awesome, The Masters in 3D or no Nantz.

There are two primary reasons for my general disinterest in the Masters.

One, it's a contrived major. An invitational cannot be a real major. A real major is the championship of something. The USGA and R&A Amateurs are more legitmate "majors" than is the Masters.

Two, my unapolegetic disrespect for Georgia and places like it. Why don't they just hold the Masters at Fort F*cking Benning so that all the Hitler youth can watch?

The Masters is the greatest major ever contrived. The fact that they are not obligated to invite bums is even better. Your post and opinion shows why liberals are best suited living on the West coast where there is a good likelihood that an earthquake will occur and drop the entire West seaboard into the sea forever.

Tirico is a douchebag. I can't stand him with golf or NFL football. Strange should be forced to go to Diction School to get rid of or refine his southmouth before being allowed on the air again. Zinger is OK but just average. At least one in the booth during prime time should at least have one Green Jacket. And be an American. Fuzzy would be cool.

I have long dissed this piss ant invitational and questioned its major status. And as for tiger, we should all pray he is in contention.. If he is way back they will probably show blanket coverage of his round then cross to the nascar. The masters without tiger is like beer without peanuts

The US TV network that carries NASCAR is Fox. The network that carries the Masters would substitute Professional Figure Skating or Ice Dancing should the Network Executives decide that the tournament has become uninteresting due to lack of worthy leadership on the leaderboard. Of course Jim Nantz is really good at calling all the figure skating and ice dancing moves.

Let's face it, NBC is not going to switch to anything else during the Masters. The Masters gets great television coverage in America whether Tiger is in contention or not. Now, in Australia where the favorite pastime is boinking wallabies, they might switch to ice skating in the middle of the Masters.

Pretty interesting how different people react to different announcers. I find Tirico to be about as factual, intelligent and middle of the road as any announcer. He doesn't distract. So I'm interested to know what rubs you the wrong way. It's that he's black, isn't it.

Azinger gets about as close to being frank about what's going on inside players' minds as anyone. Strange can be hyperbole. But worse than Nantz??

Come on there are disfiguring diseases less offensive than Nantz.

Your run of the mill STD would be far less annoying than Nantz. Or so Im told.

Death is refreshing compared to a few hours with Nantz.

Shaft connoisseurs remind me of the alleged audiophiles who think certain exotic, expensive interconnect cables and speaker wire sound better that the bubble wrap stuff at Radio Shack.

Except that it doesn't.

I suppose the spending is good for the economy, though.

I've never seen an iron that doesn't play perfectly with an NV Pro 105 or an NV Comp 85.

I've never seen a metal wood that doesn't perform perfectly with an NVS 75 or NVS 65.

These are old war horses that have been around forever and yet never been surpassed by the boutique stuff.

Of course, as we all already know, opinions, even mine, are like rectums. Everybody has one and they're often full of excrement.

Bottom line...Masters-Greatest Tourney..........Jack Nicklaus-Greatest Ever.........Deal with it. And yes, the Masters will would do just fine without an irrogant 'N' in the field like wood-I hope he can't play so us golf fans can watch the actual competition.

The Masters is the championship of nothing, and Georgia is populated primarily by ignorant crackers.

If you want to watch an entertaining make-belive major, watch the Dinah Shore Colgate Nabisco whatever it is. Do they still play that?

The Masters...really?

I haven't seen the question asked or answered by the PGA players, but I bet if they were asked what their favorite major is, they would say the Masters. There is not a more beautiful venue happening at the most beautiful time of the year. An event that tests every player and eliminates the ones that have trouble with the flat blade. It is golf at its finest.

Alot of what you say is true along with the stupid green jackets not only on winners but on members as they stroll the grounds during the tournament. But like it or not there's no greater golf event. The course is beyond spectacular particularly at that time of year. The sound coming through those natural amphitheatres is amazing and the golf history on that piece of ground arguably surpasses St. Andrews.

They even have the event timed to coincide with the start of the golf season for much of the Northern Hemisphere which adds to the anticipation. And no competitive round comes close to Sunday at Augusta. The whole thing is incredibly special.

It may roil you because of what Augusta might to some extent stand for but sorry, Nifty, it's still the greatest.

All posturing aside, the golf is almost always excellent and entertaining. And the track is impressive.

What I really mean is that it's a contrived major. It's an invitational, and it's not for any real championship.

It bothers me that it's counted as a major while the USGA and R&A Amateur Championships, part of the Bobby Jones Grand Slam, no longer seem to be.

After having a fair amount of direct dealings with the USGA, in my mind their involvement in the US Open robs it of credibility. The PGA often picks strange venues and the R&A creates weather derbies.

That means the Italian Open is the one true major.

I would bet you would be wrong. Every Euro player rates the Open as the ultimate trophy, and I would bet the majority of Americans would choose the US Open if they could win only one major. Phil certainly has made it clear the US Open is yhe trophy he covets. That was when he was still majorless. Nifty is right, Opens are far more prestigious than an invitational played on the same course every year. The Masters is a good tour stop at best, but far short of a major. IMO the Players would make a better major than the Masters. England has a Masters too but az they are purists there nobody gives a fuk about it because it isnt a championship.

I love watching The Masters, but the US Open is the pinnacle as far as I'm concerned. Got to be the hardest major to win.
The Masters is the easiest. A third of the field is past winners, some of whom can't win their club championship anymore.
The British Open is the next easiest. Typically a luck fest played on a goat track.
The PGA is a joke. Throw it out altogether.
Give some other country a chance to have a major on their soil. Italy perhaps?

The biggest problem with the US Open is the rough and its impact on the leaderboard. Too often the winner of the US Open is someone like Lee Janzen or Scott Simpson who happen to hit the ball very straight that week but never seem to win anything else.

To me, generally speaking, The Masters is the best test of golf and is usually won by someone who's at the top of their game and up there in the rankings. I enjoy watching the Masters much more than any other major. The second best major, IMO, is the British Open and then the PGA and then the US Open.

I agree that the US Open is probably the most coveted trophy by the pros but I've never gotten into it. The last day is usually a let down and it's a bunch of guys grinding it out to shoot even par. That can be fun to watch but it usually means that some no name guy wins it because he avoided trouble. I see the pros and cons of the USGA's decision to make it penal and tough but to me it just makes for boring golf.

I completely agree, two different things being discussed. As a player the U.S. Open would have to be the most prestigious. To have the skill and play well enough to win that par making survival test would be the height of accomplishment. Though the Masters as a test isn't far behind.

But from a fan's perspective, a survival test isn't often that watchable. Pars aren't exciting, although doubles and others can be. The fact that Augusta told politically correct feminists they can shove it up their asses makes it even warmer and fuzzier for me. These days, what institutions stand up to political correctness?

The Masters combines just about all the compelling elements of watching golf many of which are unique to that single tournament. Most years on Sunday I can't take my eyes off the action. Not often I've felt that way about the other majors.

Except maybe the Italian Open.

I absolutely agree with your point about the Masters membership standing up to political correctness. That was one of the most refreshing things that I've seen in today's day and age. They literally told the protesters to shove it and the same thing to any sponsor who gave them a hard time. I love it.

For me, its always been the British Open. The first and oldest of the majors. The course rota is large enough that it doesn't get boring and the courses do not have to be tricked up like some of the U.S. Open courses to prevent the field from averaging 4 or 5 under. Plus the fans at the British are the best and most knowledgeable on the planet. But the best aspect for me living in the Eastern Time Zone of the USA is that it is all over by about 2 pm EDT so that I don't have to waste two weekend days during summer prime time watching the tube for eight straight hours.

I don't really like Faldo but you have to respect what he's done in his career. Unlike most of his peers, he seems to have hung up his bag and avoided the senior tour. Miller never won it although he came close with a couple of seconds. The telecast needs someone who is proficient with the English language and has won the event at least once. Jack would be the best. Arnie is too old. I have always liked Langer but he may still be in the field.

Huskyhater is right, there is nothing special about playing a major on a cow pasture. Whenever a player cannot tell the difference between a sand bunker and a worn place on the course, it is time to call the tournament what it is -- a piece of shite. Also, since the world rotates around America, a tournament that cannot be played during US time loses major status.

On the subject of anouncers what do you guys think of Aussie IBF? Or Kiwi's boy Nobilo? I think they are both good but out here in Oz we have a couple better in Jack Newton and Wayne Grady. Peter Thompson wasJa also very insightful and forthright when he was calling.
Jack Nicklaus is my favourite American anouncer. He would have been great as a regular expert instead of guest stints.

Faldo is probably the best there is now, what a contrast from the way he acted as a layer. I always thought he was kind of a stick in the mud and stuck up, but he's pretty cool when you see him interviewed. I'd drink beers with him. And Chamblee is okay as long as he doesn't get too hung up on tiger.

Yeah but hell Sooner, the british open courses always look like what they call 'the burn' is simply where the goast' rope wasn't long enough to let them trim there. Its tied for 3rd out of 4 Majors-kinda like playing the Super Bowl on Daytona Beach or something.

I guess Tiger is playing in the 2012 Tavistock Cup. I'm glad to hear that his leg is feeling better and that he's in good enough condition to play. He seems braver than most. If it were me, I'd be resting my leg for the Masters. I'm sure he knew his playing partners were counting on him to be there so he showed up. One for the team. Go Tiger.

Too bad he doesn't feel that way about the Ryder Cup. Also one of the most important things about The Masters-the LACK of tv commercials, they have enough money they don't even need that BS.

Husky!! Wake up!! Tiger is in the lead at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Get out of bed, get out of your footie pajamas, take a shower and turn on the telly!

Good for him, kinda fun to watch the welfare recipients giving him that standing O while he's walking up 18-yay! BUT its NOT Augusta....................the REAL players will be there and things will get back to normal. If wood is assured of doing great in any tourney its the one this week. Augusta is too tight for his wild tee shots. Hey knock yourself out celebrating this week-you won't be at Masters time.

Tiger cetainly had his swagger back today. I also noted a hint of contempt for the interviewer during the post round rap, which is also a sign he is is getting back to his imperious best.

I certainly hope so, because then when he fails at The Masters his screamers will be disappointed again..........even the tv announcers were making fun of the morons that scream 'get in the hole' when wood hits tee shots on par 4's and par 5's, the idiots.
His 'staredown'? Punkish and amateurish in itself, why be an @ss when all the other players with no race issues handle questions like that with class? Why does he push forward the fact that he's a little different? He appears to act like some teenagers do when they think they're gangsta's.

Why do people have to yell in Tiger's backswing and mess him up? Sure his father used to do it: jingle keys, fart loudly, and cough to train him to be tough in the backswing, but there is no need to yell in Tiger's backswing!

Tiger has a rough life; let's not make it any rougher gentlemen!

Come on Tiger!

Darnit, wood just hit one so far left he almost put it in a swimming pool-maybe he realizes he's somewhere he doesn't belong? Man, he hits wild stuff like that at Augusta and he'll shoot 90. But this course is more wide open than Augusta anyway, it suits his wild flailing swing more. He got away with one yesterday where a fence saved him from going OB, funny (hilarious to me) how the Golf Gods get even.
