Seems like pretty big stuff to me.

He will not win the Open. Won't be too close.

I call bullshit on your 1/1000 call but we'll never know. But I say he runs the ball within 3 inches of either side of the hole 1/4 time and 1/10th of the time he gets the distance good enough for the ball to fall into the cup.

How many great shots are made up of some degree of luck....most of them and Mr. Masters agrees. It only lessens it to haters.

He's finally adjusting to his swing changes and getting back the confidence that he had prior to all the injuries and the scandal. I do think it'll be tough for him to break Jack's record of 18 majors simply because as he continues to age, his knees will still be a problem for him. However, if he stays relatively healthy, and wins another major sometime soon, I'm not gonna rule it out. Jack didn't win major #15 until he was 38. Tiger has the rest of this season and next season to win one and stay on pace.

Tiger is probably gonna shatter just about every one of Jack's records, but unless he wins 19 majors he won't be able to solidify himself as the greatest ever. Personally, I think Woods is the most talented player ever, but he needs the numbers to leave no doubt. We'll see if he can get there.

And I'd love to see him win the US Open this year, but it probably won't happen. I think he'll play well though.

Jack called it the greatest shot ever at his tournament...and as he put it..."just getting it close" was the feat.
