Tiger Woods will NEVER win another major

Well, anyway, the prediction stands. Tiger is 0 for 5 since I made it and will be 0 for forever when the dust all settles.

Did you predict his victories since 2009 as well?

If you surveyed the top 100 players in the world, it is guaranteed very few if any share your view. I would call these guys experts.

Are you Lindey Vaughn's ex husband? that could explain a few things.

I got the first name wrong as well, Lindsey Vonn.

At the age of 37, he's at the same majors pace as Nicklaus with 14.

Realistically, he has about 5 more prime years remaining to get 5 more to break the record...and probably another 5 years or so beyond that as viable contender to win a major.

He's ranked #1 in the world right now, so no doubt he's playing well enough to win some more majors...actually going out there and doing it is the million dollar question.

Full disclosure: I'm not a Tiger fan and would be happy if Nicklaus' record remains out of his reach.

Was letting that slide as it could have been a typo.

It would be okay with me if he didn't win again.

If you were watching on Sunday, somebody said something by the 14th green as he was chipping on that made him actually walk toward the guy saying something. That guy will never be at the Masters again. Tiger has a lot of fans but there are also a lot of doughheads trying to get on tv etc. For that reason alone I hope he gets Jack's record. Also, 19 majors is a lot better than when Jack got his 18, not that Jack isn't great but it now truly international when back then it was a rich man's sport.

What a humorously irrelevant question.

Nope. Rather stupid speculation on your part. It would appear that you may be the type of primitive life form who is unable to conceive of someone predicting that Person A will do something great without being in love with Person A or that Person B will fail to do something without hating Person B. Just a suggestion, you might want to try raising your level of human consciousness.

As I stated on the earlier thread, I have nothing personally for or against Tiger. Amazing golfer. And unlike many others, I make no judgment as to his personal life. It's none of my business.

I do think from what I have seen that he will never again win a major. And also as pointed out earlier, such a prediction isn't worth much if it is obvious. As such I would expect many (perhaps most) others to disagree. We shall see.

Thank you for that eminently sane and sensible post.

Partially true...deeper general talent pool nowadays for sure on a weekly basis, but Nicklaus played against a deeper pool of all-timers with 4 or more majors (Palmer, Player, Trevino, Watson, Ballesteros & Floyd) than Woods (Els and Mickelson) and also finished 2nd in majors a remarkable 19 times.

Wow! An anonymous prediction with no consequences for being wrong. You are a god***n prophet with balls.

Way to really put yourself out there. You must be a real big risk taker in the living world.

I guess it was something in the other thread about 'Tiger having the weepy eyes of a five year old" that made me think you had something against him or at the very least, was not being as non-judgemental as you think you are.

I do agree with your we shall see comment.

Too bad the other thread got deleted.

I bet you he'll win 1 maybe 2 this year. Get over yourself

Remind me again where I claimed to be "a god***n prophet".

Your extraordinary antipathy toward someone who has made a simple prediction would seem to indicate non-trivial emotional problems. I wish you luck in dealing with those.

And I am obviously betting in the other direction. I bet he will win zero this year. Or any other year in the future.

As far as "get over yourself", I would respectfully suggest that you address this remark to the person whom you see when you look in the mirror. I have made a simple prediction. For you to react in such an absurd manner does not say good things about you.

So, what do you base your predictions on? It seems golfers can play to a very advanced age compared to other sports and Tiger is relatively young. Angel Cabrera almost won it and is 6 years older than Tiger and Jack was probably about the same. Also odd, Tiger recently became #1, which would at least increase his chances compared to when he was not winning anything. So, what about Phil and others who did worse than Tiger (basically #4 to bottom) are they ever gonna win anything or is it just Tiger's failure you are interested in?

Thanks for the reasonable response.

I am not sure if you saw the original thread which was deleted for no apparent reason (I don't know, perhaps somebody insulted flaggy or something). At any rate I started the original thread over a year ago with the exact same subject line based on nothing more than the look that Tiger has in his eyes. His confidence, his killer stare...all seem gone. His body language says fear within rather than striking fear in others. I compared it to Bjorn Borg's look after winning his Wimbledon marathon - a look which immediately struck me as "I'm not willing to ever go through this again" - which Borg ultimately did not.

So, do I think that Tiger is talented enough to win again? Definitely. Is he too old? Definitely not. Are the odds in my favor for being right with this prediction? Most would say 'no'. But then, if the odds are in your favor it is not much of a prediction.

Now, regarding a few particulars from your post:

So, what about Phil and others who did worse than Tiger (basically #4 to bottom) are they ever gonna win anything?

I do not think that Phil will ever win another major for entirely different reasons than Tiger. Phil is simply no longer good enough. Tiger is a much better player at this time (as he has been for virtually all of the last however many years). Tiger is also more than five years younger than Phil - a huge advantage at this point in giving Tiger more of a shot than Phil to win a major again.

is it just Tiger's failure you are interested in?

I am not interested in Tiger's failure at all, at least not in the sense of some sort of personal interest. As I have stated repeatedly I am neither pro-Tiger nor anti-Tiger. If others are pro-Tiger and take some sort of umbrage at someone predicting that their hero will never win another major, that is their problem. As for me, it is a simple prediction.
