He retired from competitive golf years ago, no story here.
Miss the cut?

No, he's on the cut-line.
But 14 shots behind Rory.
He's only played two competitive rounds since March and back surgery. I don't care how talented you are, you need to be playing more to compete ina major. Even when he's playing well now, he doesn't dominate the game like he did in his 20s.
If he has a solid year of golf with no health problems, he could win a major again. I'm not sure he'll win five more though.

On a different thread I predicted a few years ago that Tiger would never win another major. Many thought it was an absurd prediction at the time.
But now you folks knocking Tiger really are absurd. The guy is just coming back from surgery. Last year he was ranked #1 in the world. He also won 5 tournaments - beating all the other big names. And he "retired from competitive golf years ago"? Seriously, what planet are you living on?
You folks are almost enough for me to hope that I was wrong about Tiger never winning another major. At the very least, he is definitely likely to come back, win some tournaments and be ranked in the top five in the world again. Who knows, he may even prove me wrong.
Of he'll prove you wrong.
This is the greatest Golfer ever (top 3 for anyone filled with hate and who likes to argue).
He is still in his prime years. He is so good that when he wins more tournaments than anyone else and ranks #1 people say he is done just because he has not won a Major.
He is so good that after coming back from a back surgery and not playing competitively for over a year he is still considered a strong contender to win.
He is so great that despite all that he shows signs of greatness (1st day back).
Give it a year...and you all be proven wrong.
And once he starts proving you all wrong...all the records will go down.
It 's not a matter of IF, but WHEN it will happen.
You can't deny greatness forever.

1) I am still betting that Tiger will NEVER win another major.
2) I actually agree that, in his prime, he was the greatest golfer who ever played the game.
3) Use of the term 'hate' (or worse, 'hater') makes you sound like you are still in high school
4) It very much is a matter of IF, not WHEN.
But thank you for playing anyway.
I think Woods will have to think about the Sean Foley experiment. Maybe it's time to go back to Butch Harmon. Perhaps go to David Ledbetter.
He is not hitting it any better the last 4 years under Foley than he did with Harmon or Haney. For whatever reason, he doesn't trust it. When he has to hit driver, he either tries to guide it and hangs on (straight right) or he does like he did on the first hole today and hits a quick dive hook.
I know he won 5 times last year but with his talent, he could win with me coaching him. Majors are different. Course setups are generally tighter and crooked driving is more heavily penalized.
It will be interesting to see what does in the off season.
You can be competitive in golf until you are about 60 years old. Tiger still has more than 80 majors left to play.
Mostly this. Tiger is still a good golfer, with a good chance to still rack up another 5-20 more wins, and he might even grab one more major if he gets hot at the right moment.
The problem I see with Tiger is a combination of two things, lack of drive and injury issues. By lack of drive I mean he doesn't care like he did when he was 25. He doesn't practice and grind away sunup to sundown, and he doesn't always grind anymore in tournaments.
More importantly, even if he really tried to go gangbusters again and get to his 2005 or god forbid 2000 level...his body can't take it. He struggles to make it through a year or two without developing new injuries, and that is with a constrained practice regimen.
Then there may also be the putting thing. Tiger was, for quite a while, the ultimate god of clutch playing and especially clutch putting. He's still okay, but doesn't seem to have that lethal ability, and putting confidence once shaken rarely returns to it's previous level.
Big difference between being on the juice and off the juice. Ask any athlete that's tried.
