Tiger Woods will NEVER win another major

It's not so much that he was playing with a bunch of hacks rather than HE isn't supposed to be a hack.

Yeah, yeah, I get it, I get the story. Amazing. But isn't anyone even a little uncomfortable about what happened here? Has the Masters ever done anything like that in it's final round before? I don't recall it ever being finished at that time before. They have altered the true conditions the tournament should have been played out in order to maximize (... and I'm not saying Guarantee here take note) the odds of the biggest $$$ making story taking place.

Imagine if the Superbowl start time was changed hours in advance if rain was forecast? Can you imagine the howls of protest if this was going to favour a bigger passing team? Golf's integrity has been sold out here.

Funny how the original thread was deleted after a few folks on here had trouble understanding the difference between predicting something would not happen and saying that it simply cannot happen.

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.

You know nothing about golf or the skill it takes to win a major . Thanks Trump for supporting Tiger and Shame on Obama for doing nothing to support women's soccer .

I have never encountered a single person who dislikes Tiger because of his color. Golfers and non-golfers root for him and love when he wins.

Stop being a race baiter and stop watching so much CNN and MSNBC.

OP really nailed it. When he made the prediction, everyone was hyping Le Tigre. Amazing how things change. Now his prediction is the popular one and most likely 100% correct. He might win another, but it will be the same miracle as Jack winning in 1986. The only major he might win is The Masters, but only because the field at the Masters is the weakest of all the majors by design and their invitation system.

Bump for Tiger in the news.

Wow! Nailed it.

Not being a huge golf fan, I didn’t realize The Masters was the weakest.

I wasn't so hep on the split tees, but the bottom half of the golfers started on the back and anyone really in contention started on the front. If the weather did come through, their moves only levelled the playing field for everyone. What if the weather got crappy and play continued till it was just not conducive for everyone's safety and play was halted and continued tomorrow and it turned out to be a sweet day. How far would that have been to the early starters? And as Tiger said in an interview Saturday, typically being in front affords you the benefit of a late start and getting to sleep in some.

Who wasn't invited that would have presented a realistic challenge? Top 50 ranked golfers in the world are invited.

Small field doesn't equate to a weak field.

Do you even follow golf. Huge storms were coming in. The storms did come btw. At 43 and with his back, haveing quick turn around and having to get up @4AM was I’m sure less than ideal for him. I think the move favored the younger golfers. Also no one starting on the back 9 we’re going to be winning this.

Actual it is a lot more than that

Qualifying includes

top50 in the world ,

Anyone in the tour championship the previous year

the top 12 from last years masters

Any one who was won a major or the players championship in the last 5 years

Top 4 from the majors the previous year

All those who won on the PGA tour in the last 12 months

And a few more categories

The open and us open have qualifying as well as similar qualifying as above, now the question would be how many times has someone won the us open or British open that wouldn’t have qualified using the masters qualifying?

There have been around 8 or 9 people to win a major being outside the top 100 in the modern era

OP here. I was mistaken.

Congrats to Tiger! Great day for him. And great day for golf!

OP GOES HOME DEVASTATED !!!!

They would have gotten in a few holes for the leaders and finished the round on Monday. Is that your preference moron?

Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is losing with grace.

Well done, sir/ma'am.

Bump for inaccurate prediction.

That's exactly how it would have been for early starters in the final round of ANY major held historically.

The other point to make here is that playing in crappy weather doesn't "level the playing field". Some players excel in more inclement weather. Handling the prevailing conditions is, or it least should, be part of the game. Have you seen some of the conditions the British Open has been played in through the years?

What you mean like in any other major period if bad enough weather to stop play rolls in? Yes, that is my preference.

And it's speld Moran moran.

The move of the times was done for the fans, plain and simple. You discussed the Super Bowl, if there was a weather event that would halt the Super Bowl, everyone would have to go home in the middle of the game and then would need to come back the next day to finish it but the NFL could avoid that by starting earlier you damn sure better bet they'd start earlier and no one would complain.

Just because other majors don't give two sh*ts about the fans doesn't mean the Masters should be that way too.

Deserves another bump.
