Tiger Ready To Play "The Masters" ???

[Chung Tran]

for what it's worth, Nicklaus won 2 majors in 1980 at age 40, and the Masters in 1986.. so Tiger approaching age 40 is not necessarily the finish line.

but Tiger is no Jack Nicklaus..

So, I guess that's why I keep going 50 yards past the green on short shots, lol. I didn't know that utility/hybrid were used interchangeably. I've been using the word utility wrongly to denote specialty clubs.

I would like to see every shot if Tiger is in contention; I don't think he will be. Otherwise, I would rather be exposed to lesser known players who are in contention. I agree that Tiger playing will skyrocket the ratings. I have the golf channel, so what I miss real time I can see later. Love that channel.

There's a Masters App. You can watch it on your iPhone or tablet, Thursday & Friday.

Tiger announced he is playing. He must think he is ready. Love him or hate him, he is going to be the topic of conversation among most pro and amateur golfers and many non-golfers as well. I'm curious to see how the players that are paired with him do. The atttention he gets can be distracting, and he can be intimidating. This is going to be one enjoyable Masters to watch.

They have to put up netting to protect the other players from his SHANKS , that's completely fucking hillarious . Looks like he's turned into Roy McAvoy in the movie Tin Cup.
You can bet the TV networks will still show 37 super slow motion replays of every shank he hits.

I wonder what the chances are he's going to be able to complete an entire round without quiting. Ancient history , move on.

Tiger's past ability to compartmentalize used to be phenomenal. Playing golf at a high level AND maintain relationships (not one night stands, but relationships) was amazing. Most fucktards cannot even handle one woman, much less a professional wife and several side pieces.

The most amazing thing about Tigers game going to shit is that it's his short game (chipping & putting) that are the worst. That has absolutely nothing to do with knee or back or any of his physical problems. He has lost his nerves and concentration.
It' like Michael Phelps developing a fear of water. Unfuckin believable.

Tiger just can't pass up a chance at another major, at his age or current ability. Maybe they should put him in the old farts past champions group: Ben Crenshaw and Tom Watson, who probably could beat Tiger.

This will be fun to watch.

That's really no joke. The way he is playing right now he couldn't win on the senior tour.
The only thing he can hope to accomplish at the Masters is to avoid being completely embarrassed.

Agree! And without a short game Augusta will be hell on grass for anyone!

Tiger's coach called Lee Trevino to help with his short game. Trevino knows all the tricks.

I learned the "Texas Wedge" from watching Lee. He would putt that ball even if quite far off the green. Maybe that is the key to Tiger's short game woes. He has the strength to get through the grass - maybe not at Augusta. I'm not so sure he has the touch anymore. Tiger and Lee were so different in demeanor on the course.

I occasionally play with a guy who does nothing but the Texas Wedge.. because his short game is atrocious.. he will Texas Wedge from 40 years off the green. Tiger needs to focus and re-learn how to play the short shots properly.. or quit altogether.

I don't think a Texas Wedge is going to save Tigers game. Maybe Lee will tell Tiger to put a rubber snake in his golf bag.

I wonder if Tigers concentration has been shaken by something off the golf course. Maybe Lindsey has given him the ultimatum "it's my way or the highway". He can't stop thinking about loosing another hundred million dollars in another divorce.

40 yards out with a putter...holy shit, he must really take a hard whack at it...
Tell him to try a rescue club, or 4-5 iron, grip down and use his putter grip.
