He's toast......history.......washed up.......yesterday's news..........

Imagine the shame of winning multiple times in the same year after missing many months off with an injury, and NOT winning a major!! With his Asian ancestry, I'd think he'd be close to Hari Kari by now.......

[SoonerBS]

I agree . . . . . and winning by 8 strokes in the BMW, we all know that is a fluke. Tiger is not that good . . . . he's washed up . . . . . stick a fork in him, he's done!!

[Kiwi Player]

I'll look forward to the predictable responses. Hmm ... let's see.

- he did a Kenny Perry and beat up on a weak field
- the BMW is a meaningless event full of washed up bums
- the rest of the field are a bunch of chokers
- Tiger is just a front running bully who can win these lesser events with chopper fields but can no longer cut it in majors
- the course set up well for him
- Tiger picks and chooses events that suit his game but he can't pick & choose the major venues
- he got lucky and had a good week with the putter
- nobody in that field of washed up, choking bums had the guts to challenge Tiger
- if it had been closer on the scoreboard he wouldn't have made as many putts as he would have felt the pressure and started getting the YIPS
- the majors are ALL that matters to Tiger. The fact that he choked in all of them proves he is washed up. No amount of wins in second rate tournaments with weak fields can alter the fact that Tiger failed dismally in his prime objective of winning majors in 2009.

There, how's that? Did I miss anything?

Well there are no ASIAN cultures that commit anything called "Hari Kari"

the Japanese and Chinese have a ritual suicide that involves the cutting of the belly: it is called "Hara Kiri" which means "cutting the belly"

the more formal term is Seppuku which means "Stomach Cutting"

Omen, wish i were smart enough to know what Hara Kari is?

btw... TIGER IS HALF THAI... so there is no ritual suicides for them that sound like Hara Kiri.

I know for some all the asian cultures are the same, lacking any differentiation, and easily lumped under the same universal cultural stereotypes.

WAY TO GO RETARD... too bad you cant buy some CAST POS SHOVELS or a HYBRID to mask your STUPIDITY.

It should be quite obvious what happened on the weekend. Tiger was going all out to try to compensate for failing so dismally in the majors, while the big guns' minds were obviously more focused on next year's Italian Open, and were really only there to get in a bit of match practice in between real events. Until Tiger has his name etched on the Italian Open trophy he can not claim to be really back.

Omen, Vietnam is pretty close to Thailand, and from what I've seen in movies ol Charlie was pretty big on ritual suicides. If you call running into a tent with a live grenade and screaming something unintelligible before blowing yourself and the occupants of the tent up suicide. Maybe we need to confirm this with Teesee

[Horseballs]

Until Tiger runs down YE Yang on the back 9 of a major, he cannot be considered back.

Sounds like we may need a Thread discussing what Tiger needs to do to show he is really back. I'll get to it, but can't be bothered coming up with options for a thread.

P.S. Dorkman, this cheap PR stunt by Tiger doesn't get you off the hook. We are still right about Tiger being washed up and you still have humble pie all over you.

Since the fields in the Fedex Cup are so weak, a highly proficient amateur like yourself should have no excuse for not winning it all......

The Fedex Cup is an invitational brainiac, it's not open to amatuers. Or the majority of professionals for that matter. Probably why the field was so gutless.

[The Purist]

I'd think he'd be close to Hari Kari by now.......

America's greatest play by play guy...

[lorenzoinoc]

I think it's pretty obvious what happened here. In an absence of pressure, Tiger played the kind of golf he can no longer play under pressure. All those guys put up low numbers in casual, recreational rounds. Talk to us when it's the Italian Open, another major, or close important other tournament. But the FedEx Cup with a huge lead??? Come guys, if you don't save your I told you so's for when there's actually an opening, it's kind of like admitting you were wrong.

Kiwi, if you'd numbered your excuses I'd haved just referenced the appropriate ones.

Maybe, but first we've got to find Yang in the hunt at the end of major. Something that may never reoccur. OTOH Tiger lives there.

Yes, I realize that you were not invited. You are really taking this thread seriously, aren't you......
Here's a clue......I actually KNEW that amateurs weren't invited.......


Yeah, I wouldn't try very hard, either, if I was a pro and all I could win was paltry $10 million. Only Tiger is smart enough to figure out that this is a lot of money......

[Horseballs]

Yang has nothing left to prove. He caught and lapped a choking Tiger on the back 9 of a major. It is up to Tiger to flip the script, but we all know he's finished in the majors.

[dorkman53]

Honestly, it doesn't affect my life very much whether Tiger wins or loses. I admire his mental toughness and technical skills, but could do without his temper tantrums when he isn't playing well.
I'm just highly amused that he is being downgraded to has-been status by a bunch of know-nothing amateurs on an internet golf board because he hasn't won a major in over a year, and failed to hold a lead in a tournament on the final day.
Even the greatest relief pitcher closers in history occasionally let a game slip away. It's part of being human.

The amount of pathos threads like this generate provides me with a few bemused snickers.
Thanks for making my day, in the otherwise drab and desolate landscape of my so-called life........

I'm not sure I understand your point. Are you saying Tiger is thinking about becoming a relief pitcher?

[Kiwi Player]

He previously had the proud record of never surrendering a 54 hole lead in a major. Does anyone know what the lowest lead he held during one of those majors that he won? At the weekend he was 7 shots up so the final day was a formality barring a total meltdown, which Tiger doesn't do. In the PGA he was only 2 shots up so it was never a certainty. Y.E. Yang had a great final round whereas Tiger was not at his best so a 2 shot lead was not enough. If he had brought his 'A' game it probably would have been.

[Horseballs]

I'm not sure I understand your point. Are you saying Tiger is thinking about becoming a relief pitcher?

Seriously. Doesn't dorkman know this is a golf board? Tiger would probably make a terrible relief pitcher. I'm not even sure he can throw a good fastball.
Dorkman, you can try to derail the conversation towards baseball, but I see through your antics. If you cannot defend your idol, you deflect to some other topic.

[dorkman53]

I'm not sure I understand your point. Are you saying Tiger is thinking about becoming a relief pitcher?

Why not? Michael Jordan wanted to try baseball.
I think Tiger might also consider a career in water polo or as a racehorse jockey.

After I finished my stint as a lumberjack, I had a successful second career as a crash test dummy.

[Omen2]

tiger might be able to pitch. He is black, therefore he is athletic, therefore he can play sports, therefore he could play baseball, therefore he could pitch relief. We already know he likes Mizuno products... AND WHO MAKES THE BEST GLOVE IN ALL OF BASEBALL...




Omen, DAMN DIDN'T EVEN SEE THAT SH.IT COMING DID YOU. NOW WHAT... YOU GOT THAT MIZUNO STAMP ALL IN YA GRILL.

Please spare us. As if NFL isn't lame enough but those ponces playing in their tights and needing a glove to catch a ball is just pathetic. I love the fact you guys have a 'World Series' involving only American teams.

[Omen2]

thats because like with golf, americans are the only ones to dominate the game. there's no sense in inviting the R.o.W. the outcome would always be an american victor.

I actually have a Mizuno baseball glove, a Mizuno golf bag, and have had Mizuno irons, wedges, and woods in the past.
Good stuff.

The teams are based in American cities (Toronto may actually be in Mexico) but they're comprised almost exclusively of steroid and hgh riddled Dominicans.

I think you could be getting Asians confused with Muslims here . . . .

Guys, whenever one of the other PGA peons, including Yang Yang, can win 6 PGA events in one season, then they can say they kicked Tiger off his throne. Until then, Tiger is on his throne and all the others are just his shoe lickers . . . . .

As HB has pointed out, Tiger is the one who has to prove himself to Yang, Yang has nothing to prove to anyone. And he can only do that by holding his nerve whilst paired with him on the last day of a major. Yang has dusted Tiger twice now, and he has a perfect record against him. I hate to say it as I'm a huge fan of Tiger, but from where I sit Yang's ownership of Tiger is complete. No matter how many times Tiger beats up on weak fields, his arse belongs to Yang.

Mizuno golf bags, are passable at best... Ping bags seem to carry the best IMO
Mizuno woods are shi.t which is why you dont have them in the bag now
but the rest (gloves, irons, and wedges) shows you appreciate quality.

I have a Mizzy glove as well, got that way before i knew they made GOLF products, which was back in the old high school days... damn thing hasnt been used in over .... DEAR GOD.... 12 years.....

Used to play second and pitch, so obviously an infield glove, then when i got in the military all they play is SOFTBALL... and i couldn't get the mizzy to wrap around those lumps so had to get a softball glove (those things are huge BTW).

so i got a MIZZY outfield glove and it worked just fine.

the only reason for the mizzy glove love ( wow, there should be plenty of jokes from that ) is i had a few rawlings that didnt last through some line drives... one left a beautiful impression of the seam on the ball, right on the corner of my left eye; AFTER going through the rawlings.

That gave me a sufficient argument to justify the price of the mizzy gloves to mom and dad. FORTUNATELY never got to test it out from mound distance; a few times at second but not the same thing.

Omen, used to think i was a decent pitcher until we played a school with a kid throwing in the low 90's consistently...

Back in the day when I was playing rugby in the UK I bought some Mizzy Rugby boots. Bloody nice boots. Had no idea they made golf equipment back then.
