On the back of his latest injury/poor tournament, Tiger is set to drop out of the world top ten for the first time since 1997.
Hasn't won a major since before his scandal broke and you have to wonder if he'll ever get his A game back again..
Who said golf isn't a mind game?

Jack may just keep his majors record. A few years back, it looked as though Tiger would pass him easily.

Reckon you're right.

The kiss of death strikes again. :hihi
WOW....say/think what you want about Tiger, but without him, GOLF doesn't even rate a mention with him out of th loop.
This thread is a perfect testimony to that, hell there's a major underway and not one post leading up to or about the 1st Rd.
Amazing the effect a phenom can have on a sport, isn't it.

Tiger or not I have the same passion for golf. Love all the majors, US Open is always a great test.
Would like to see McIlroy win it after his Masters collapse
Big Cat Lover said:
Me too...nothing beats a major golf tourney IMO.
McIlroy is a great talent. Made that difficult course look relatively easy.
jackfrost said:
No doubt golf's overall appeal won't be as great in Tiger's absence. Like Jordan before him his brilliance transcended the sport to the mainstream.

I need a new driver. Has anyone played with a Geek Golf head ? I come from the grip it and rip it school of golf where the only prize worth winning is the longest drive novelty prize.
These heads look appealing but there is no reseller where I am.

Rory clearly killing them due to greens hit, sensational considering fairways hit is about the same.
Hend did well due to his sand saves and putting.
Day, Allenby, & Scott need to putt better
simply hitting greens will improve your chances of a good score. of course you have to drop some putts. saves around the green can keep you in it.
