I went to a golf auctions with a bunch of country club investment bankers one time....you bid cash from your pool on groups of players. Tiger of course was his own group!

For a few years we kept Gretzky off the NHL playoff pool because it was assumed everyone would take him, I thought by his 6th major everyone would pick Tiger for their top ten, but nope.... I’d open the selections in shock and laughter as they refused to take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needle Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Woods win is as inspiring/amazing as anything else we have ever seen in sports. You have to be a really miserable person to not feel anything positive for him today. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali over Foreman might be #1 US hockey winning gold in Lake Placid Foreman winning the heavyweight title again against Michael Moorer Who doesn't root for these moments? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choosing to rank them is where we go wrong. Why can’t we just sit back and enjoy them the rare moments when they do happen. As for for the people who can’t enjoy this one, I just feel sorry for them. They missed out on a great moment. But hey, that’s their choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millbank Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Was a wonderful Masters. So many compelling moments. What I ponder now is Tiger in terms of on the course accomplishments is certainly Arnies, Jacks , Gary’s equal. In the years ahead will Tiger like these men in character and giving back to the game , grow and learn from the past misfortunes and arguably misdeeds , take his place along side them as people not just golfers?

He seems more human than before, but the wall he had to build the first time was never required for the others. Times change. his interviews were open, I liked the question on what irons he used to each green and he easily stated them, probably can recall every shot he has taken in his career.

row_33 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 --------------------------- and in comparison to 1986, the revision is made that Jack was a cuddly lovable man, in fact he was a cold machine that was despised by most fans just for who he was and projected, Tom Watson was the people's choice by a million-fold for those duels, Tom broke our hearts on at least 5 major showdowns, even recently... Tiger has come back from the phony shunning he took for his selfish personal choices, there is no bigger bunch of hypocrites than rich golfers... and the injuries he had to fight back from. Good thing he is all about himself and didn't listen to the billions telling him he was through and mocking him the last attempts at comeback.
