Its been 8 years since Tiger won a Major


Apr 7, 2016, 12:53 PM

He was 32 and poised to topple Jack's record of 18, needing only 5 more. Then everything went wrong

I think he would've won the 2013 Masters if this didn't

Got hosed by the pin, it was a great shot too. Then to throw on the extra penalty he got for the illegal drop it cost him the tourney.

But yeah, we'll see how his "recovery" goes...

I remember reading that Jack Nicklaus said


Apr 7, 2016, 1:01 PM

"Tiger just got married. Let's see how he balances married life with his golf game. It gets more difficult when you have a family."

I think that Jack was telling us something between the lines.

"Every man is my superior, in that I may learn something from him."


I remember something like that as well

however, When woods was still single he stated being married helped him focus and strive to win. He said he would see his bachelor counter parts getting burned out.

Considering he was married and doing the bachelor thing too


Apr 7, 2016, 1:05 PM

are we supposed to be surprised he burned himself out? lol

being married helped him when he was still single?

Here is some context for clarity

"It will be difficult for him to keep focus on what he is doing if he doesn't get married," Nicklaus told the Scottish Daily Record.

Nicklaus says his own longtime marriage and his family gave him a reason to strive for victory while he watched his bachelor competitors eventually burn out.

"Who's Tiger going to play for? For newspaper clippings? Trophies?" asked Nicklaus. "Who's he going to talk to in his hotel room after rounds?"

that last line made me chuckle

Yeah, I think Jack knew something way back then.***

I suppose being married isn't what did him in.

As much as the just not being that good at being married.

It seems the life Tiger had at his peak was pretty #### good. Got to travel like a rock start, but got to at least spend a most of a week in one location, not a new city every night. I don't know what sort of appearance schedule he had, but he didn't play in that many tournaments each year. Also, practicing golf is not like practicing football. Basically to practice golf, you do play golf.
