OILERMAN Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 He didn't make the cut for the U.S. Open and shot an 80 his first round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rns90 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Yea, he's done. He hasn't won a major since 2008 and is aging and now has back issues. It's crazy to think that about 10 years ago he had a very good chance of passing Jack Nicklaus for majors championships. The off field stuff derailed him big time and he has a bunch of injuries (mostly to knee and back) that sapped away some of his power. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiscotitansfan Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 His downfall has to be one of the most dramatic swings in professional sports history. He goes from being 10 strokes ahead of everyone in any major to not even being in the conversation on Sunday to even earlier than that too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 The guy was the best in the world at his craft for a number of years, and will always be remember as one of the greatest the world has ever seen. He reached a level that few people ever reach in their lives, regardless of profession. Nobody stays on top forever. Even if the ride is now over for Tiger (which appears to be the case).....it was one hell of a ride. Dmeade- 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiscotitansfan Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) It's not about how he is an average player, its spectacular how it happened seemingly overnight . Obviously there's a lot more to it than his scandal but that's what people will look at for the reason of his downfall.

IsntLifeFunny Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) His downfall was apologizing for waxing a ton of females. He should have told everyone to fuck off. People apologize way too much. Edited June 20, 2015 by IsntLifeFunny Titanjuicy, Dmeade-, and Denali 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TampaTitan Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) A month or 2 with Butch Harmon coaching him again and he'd be back to competing for wins, guaranteed. That tells me he isn't done. His ego however will never allow that to happen. The man stripes it on the range and practice rounds, his problem is he just can't seem to take it to the course for competitive rounds. The way he played in the Masters after not even being able to chip a golf ball just weeks prior says a lot about where he's at. Tiger Woods didn't just suddenly forget how to play golf, he didn't just become an average golfer. He still possesses the same amount of ability as he always has - minus his distance off the tee of course. He should have never changed his swing, not only once, but 4 or 5 other times. I honestly feel bad for the guy, it's sad to watch. Imagine if LeBron James suddenly went from what he is now to averaging 8pts a game the rest of his career. People would be speechless, and they would feel cheated. Tiger won player of the year in 2013 and was tearing through some of golf's most difficult fields for W's that season. That wasn't that long ago. He still has another great run in him imo. Edited June 21, 2015 by TampaTitan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to get back to mauling biddies. It's his only hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oiler FANatic Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 It's crazy to think that about 10 years ago he had a very good chance of passing Jack Nicklaus for majors championships. It's even crazier to think that most people actually believed that 10 years ago, not to mention a huge insult to the greatness of Nicklaus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OILERMAN Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I've been called worse. At 29 years of age, playing golf maybe better than anyone ever has and only needing a handful of majors to break the record you thought it was crazy to think he'd pass Jack up? Really?
