eball Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 On 7/6/2018 at 8:57 AM, 26CornerBlitz said: Report: Tiger, Phil planning match for $10 million Two months ago at the Players Championship, where Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were paired together for the first two rounds, Mickelson suggested he and his rival-turned-friend Woods skip the tournament stuff and play a "high-stakes, winner-take-all match." It would appear that the two players are ready to put their money where their mouths are, as a report from Golf.com's Alan Shipnuck suggests the two legends are planning a head-to-head match for $10 million.

row_33 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I'd be interested in seeing Phil actually think out there and try to win something without goofing around. Cost him a US Open, fortunately VandeVelt (SP??) was far more shameful a toss-away of a major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil had no excuse, he’d been in that situation many times. But, after the tee shot there was nothing he could do. VdV made horrible decision after horrible decision for twenty minutes. Watching that was painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 TT postscript: Not a win, but an amazing week | Golf Channel CARNOUSTIE, Scotland – Here are a few things I think I think after Tiger Woods had a chance to win his 15th major Sunday at The Open at Carnousite: Tiger shot 71-71-66-71 to finish at 5 under par and tie for sixth place. Tiger moved to 50th in the Official World Golf Ranking, which qualifies him for the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, which he has won eight times.

It's amazing how we as society love to watch someone sky rocket to flame, enjoy their fall from the top and rejoice in their reclamation. That Tiger seems to be finding peace is the most important thing for himself. I still think he's a douche, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a douche to his wife, for sure...don't know that he has ever been perceived as particularly douchy otherwise, though. Just an intense competitor.

He attracts an audience to the game that it elsewise may not get, which is the casual fan. And if that motivates some kids to get off the couch than so be it. But, his attitude towards his wife and women and just the way he behaved was douchey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Tiger Woods appears to be running out of gas | Golf Channel Statistics backed up the fatigue factor, as his measured swing speed continues to decrease: • 122.6 mph (Quail Hollow) • 119.4 mph (Players) • 118.5 mph (Memorial) • 118.0 mph (Quicken Loans) • Sunday at Firestone, he clocked in at 117.7 mph That was still 20th-best in a field of 71, but nearly 6 mph slower than when he was measured at the Honda Classic in late February.
