Today is the first day that I have thought he is truly done. That back isn't going away. I wish him all the best, but we've seen the last of Tiger the way we knew him. I really hope I am wrong.
quote:
Sad times for tiger fans.. We could very well be witnessing the end of the Tiger Woods era. After today, I don't see him coming back.
He's spent the past 5-6 months rehabbing after his surgery and has been 100% for a while now. I just don't see how he ever comes back to a level where he can win a tournament. That back of his just isn't going to get any better
quote:Actually I think it was someone named Elin in Florida with her iron play.
August 2009...when he lost his mojo to some guy name Yang up in Minnesota
quote:
He's done. Write the book on him as he'll never win another tournament.
quote:
Tiger's steroid use led to his body breaking down just like ball players.
quote:I wonder if he used to be on some serious PED's and is off now. He just looks diff (yes I realize he's aging) and appears to have much less vigor. And there's always an injury or tweak it seems. I know I do a bit of trolling against Tiger from time to time (it's a shtick i run with a few pro-Tiger friends) because it's funny to see how defensive people can be, but I honestly don't mind the guy and I am pulling for him. Money aside, I kind of feel bad for him. This has gotta be rough on him. Hope he gets it back.

I get the glute comment from Tiger. I pulled my back a few months ago and while the pain left my back after a day or two, it traveled down and into my right glute and hamstring for over three weeks. I had to stretch for ten minutes every morning just to get enough flexibility to hastily put a sock and shoe on my foot and then come home and stretch every night to get it better. As the day goes along it "warms up" and feels fine, but holy hell was it murder in the mornings. In the beginning it would literally hurt to stand up from a sitting position because when my leg would straighten a sharp pain would shoot up my leg.
quote:I wonder if getting OFF steroids has been what has hurt Tiger? Aside from injuries, he just doesn't even look the same and probably doesn't feel at all like his old self.
Maybe I missed it, but how did steroids speed up the 'breaking down' of ball players bodies? Didn't they help them extend their careers and recover faster? Or is this just one of the ih8tgr talking points?
quote:I don't think he misses Augusta unless he needs more surgery or something.
No way he misses Augusta right?
