What happened to Tiger since his last major?  Was he responsible for his bad fortune or was he a victim?

It's been 11 years.

Multiple injuries/surgeries  with long recovery periods

Bunch of personal/family issues

Not a Tiger fan, eh?

No.  I respect the comeback, but don't like what he put his then-family through.  There are more seemingly* better men I'd rather see win.  I was pulling for Finau or Molinari.

I taped the final round.  The final group was on the 10th when Mrs. Cooper said, "you know Tiger Woods won, don't you?  I knew that 2 hours ago."

D'oh.

*seemingly as I don't know any of the participants

Anyone think Tiger can win the PGA at Bethpage Black? Odds have to be astronomically against him. But some guy won $1.19M on him with a bet in Vegas. The Black is a monster, played it a few times many yrs ago, pretty humbling. Tiger won the US open there in 02 and had a decent showing in 09, I think. Should be fun to watch.

Why not?  Its tiger anything is possible!!  If he is available I will pick him in my draft

Anytime Tiger tee's it up he has a chance to win imo. He's Tiger. If it isn't Tiger certainly Bethpage will favor the long hitters such as DJ, Brooks, Molinari, Speith, Rory etc etc

I think the fans will really be behind Tiger this week as well as Ricky. It certainly will be an exciting tourney to watch on yet another rainy ass weekend here in CNY.

Played today , it's still Mondo wet on a couple of fairways,drop and plop on drives no roll at all  .Shot a 40 ,putter was decent.  Approaches were better today . But we need to dry out big-time .Docks on the River all under water now friggin IJC  sux

Amazing story about the winner of yesterday's tournament:

Guy's parents and girlfriend die in a plane crash after they went to watch him play in college. Now, 15 years later, after messing around on several minor tours & flipping houses, he's the last person allowed to play in this tournament. He wins, and gets invitations to the British Open and the Masters. Well done.

I watched the end of that tourney yesterday --- he smoked em too --- great story

He really did. His iron shots in the last couple holes were clutch. Strong work.

They sure were. That one into 18 was solid as Sears Kenmore tough. He hit some incredible short sided chips as well.

Personal best yesterday for 9 , even par 36 '   day before was 39 and 38 last Thurs . Game is on track now that full roll is in play after the horribly wet spring until the third week in June . Courses now GIVE not taketh away 😉

Having been playing just 9 since hip surgery

Another PB today 1 under par 35 for 9 , game is in the zone lately , 2 birdies again today

Nice work Warp!! Congrats!!!

We finally got out last Tuesday ---- only played 6 holes then got rained out ---- Having 3 birdies and 3 doubles it was all or nothing for me, LOL
