Haha....awesome.

Nobody cares about wrestling.... Go golf!!!!

1/29/2008 5:02:38 PM

What he said ! Go Golf.

1/29/2008 7:28:24 PM

Ill say he wins at Augusta and Torrey Pines but loses the British and PGA.

2/4.

1/29/2008 10:42:18 PM

i say he wins 'em all BUT the us open because people are sucking his dick so hard about the buick.

the pga will make the course the most insanely hard open in the history of the world and some random fuck will win it

1/29/2008 10:53:29 PM

0/4

1/29/2008 11:16:46 PM

Hey look, another topic Fagyver knows nothing about!

1/29/2008 11:19:09 PM

I actually have played golf since I was 5, won a state championship in highschool, and played 2 years in college.

I think I know a little more than you do.

1/30/2008 12:08:38 AM

loses the masters, sweeps the rest 3/4

1/30/2008 12:18:24 AM

In all honesty, I think he goes 1/4

1/30/2008 12:24:47 AM

I say he wins 3 of the 4 this year.

Tiger and I are going to have big years in golf this year. It's all relative, Tiger on the world stage, and me against my buddies and in my IBM golf league !!

My predictions - call your bookie

The Masters = Phil Mickelson in a playoff over Tiger
U.S. Open = Tiger Woods by 6 strokes
British Open = Tiger Woods by 8
PGA Championship = Tiger Woods by 2

1/30/2008 9:21:15 AM

^That is interesting because it seems like if he struggles with one it is the British and you think he takes it easily? I really don't see him winning more than 2 no matter how motivated he is.

1/30/2008 1:30:55 PM

I think 3/4 is most likely. He's going to win the Masters and US open. I I dont remember what kind of course Royal Birkdale is, but you can assume that its wierd since its in the rotation. You need some luck to win the British anyway.

And the PGA is usually the easiest of all of them, but strange things happen and thats where noobies usually play well.


3/4 is still ridiculous. We'll see how the swing holds up.

because

a) the PGA obviously wants tiger to fail

and

b) making courses harder for tiger makes them easier for everybody else

Great article on espn.com about Tiger's dominance and new formula for it

Basically it takes Tiger's score relative to the next highest player in the tournament and adds up the totals over the season

If Tiger wins by 8 like last week, that counts as +8

If he finishes 5 shouts out of first, that counts as -5

Last year Tiger's cumulative total was -20

the next best two players were Mickelson at -200 and K.J. Choi at -224

In 2002, Tiger was +2 for the year using this formula.

"There are many ways of saying, "Tiger Woods is really, really good." (Putting yourself in the same tier is not one of 'em, Ian Poulter.) Let me introduce one more. I received an e-mail this week from reader Levi Wild of Dallas with the subject line: "A (Possibly) New Stat to Judge Tiger's Dominance." With skepticism, I read the proposal, and I couldn't believe how brilliantly simple it was. In his own words: I did a little research and I think there may be a new, completely absurd way to judge Tiger: His stroke differential against the best the field has to offer for each tournament. So, if Phil Mickelson wins by 2 over Tiger at the Deutsche Bank Championship (as happened last year), that's -2 against Tiger. If Angel Cabrera wins by 1 over Tiger at the U.S. Open, that's -1 against Tiger … and so on. In 2007, Tiger was -20. That is a pretty staggering number when you think about it. He lost the Players and Wachovia both by 11, so remove those scores and he was actually positive for the season. I find it disturbing that he had a lower stroke total than the best the field had to offer other than himself over the course of 13 tournaments last year. For the last five tournaments of last year, he was +19. The Wild Principle, as I've dubbed this idea in honor of its coolly named founder, might be the perfect measuring stick for Woods' dominance. As we know, he is the rare player who often steps on the gas pedal when in the lead on Sundays and never wavers from his sole focus when charging from behind. I'm not sure there is a better way of proving his dominance than this new notion, save for just listing his results. Obviously, Woods currently is plus-8 after winning the Buick Invitational in his first start of the season by eight strokes. I asked Wild to crunch the numbers for what is widely regarded as his best season to date, 2000: TW was +2 in 2000. Crazy. He already has been in the positive. The most he lost a tournament by during 2000 was seven strokes. The +15 at the U.S. Open, +11 at the NEC, and +8 at the British Open were very notable because he beat the field by more than they were able to beat him all year! Just for comparison's sake, I asked Wild to take a look at a pair of players who had probably the second- and third-best seasons in 2007. Phil Mickelson totaled minus-200, K.J. Choi minus-224. As he writes: Of course, K.J. and Phil played 24 and 23 tournaments in 2007, respectively. But still, that means they averaged close to -9 per tournament, whereas Tiger averaged -0.75 in 2007. As with any mathematically derived theory, there are some caveats to the Wild Principle. Four things of note: 1. Winning or losing in a playoff yields no differential. 2. This obviously considers only stroke-play tournaments. 3. A missed cut means you take the player's score after two rounds and compare it to that of the four-round winner. This can skew the results in favor of the player being analyzed. (See last year's U.S. Open, when Mickelson missed the cut at 11-over after two rounds. Cabrera won at 6-over, so Mickelson's differential reads only minus-5, but who knows how much more it would have been if he had been able to play the last two rounds.) 4. A withdrawal after two rounds means the differential is between the score of the winner and the score of the player when he withdrew. Interested to hear what other fans have to say about this new device, so hit the "comments" link below to voice your opinion. Personally, I'm going to bookmark this link and use it often. Hey, when times call for different ways of measuring Woods' dominance, I'm always looking for ideas. As we enter what many believe could be Woods' best season ever, let's keep this principle in mind and see if he can surpass the plus-2 from 2000. That would be Wild."

lol


the PGA has nothing to do with the US Open....its the USGA....and....its been proven that making courses harder only helps tiger and the longer hitters.

1/30/2008 3:04:56 PM

In an article today on ESPN.com, Ian Poulter said that he can challenge Tiger.

"The trouble is I don't rate anyone else," the 32-year-old Briton was quoted as saying in the March issue of the United Kingdom version of Golf World magazine.


"Don't get me wrong, I really respect every professional golfer, but I know I haven't played to my full potential and when that happens, it will be just me and Tiger."

Why don't these guys realize that Tiger get hungrier every time some dope with ugly clothes trash talks him. First it was Sabbatini, now Poulter. Please shut up and get a new PR person. Tiger's gonna win all four.

1/30/2008 3:32:16 PM

A new PR person? They do it for attention, which is obviously working.

1/30/2008 3:39:25 PM

A good PR person tells you to shut up when needed. Poulter might have a PR person, but he/she shouldn't get paid

Poulter said that quote was taken way out of context, in the original interview where he said "it'll be just me and Tiger" he meant that Tiger was #1 and he would be #2. Said he didn't rate anyone BUT Tiger, who he knows will be #1 for a very long time.[quote]

Quote :

"LA JOLLA, CA --Tiger Woods and Roger Federer, once close friends, are apparently on the outs following Federer’s stunning loss to Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open. According to Federer, Woods won’t even return his phone calls, leading him to believe that their friendship is officially over. “I guess that’s it for me and Tiger,” Federer said on Monday. “We used to talk almost every day and now he won’t even return my phone calls. I text messaged him several times and he didn’t return those either. I guess he thinks he’s too good for me now that I’ve been ousted from the Australian Open. In a sense, I don’t blame him. I lost to some nobody from Russia. I wouldn’t want to be my friend either.” "

aha!

Tiger birdies 5 of final 7 holes to win the Dubai tournament.

Not bad after the shitty 3rd round to fall behind four shots.

2/3/2008 11:42:31 AM

Tiger wins the Accenture Match Play Championship by manhandling Cink 8 and 7 today.

This could be an amazing year for Tiger.
