He looked pretty good today, very good chance he will win tomorrow. I like to see him do good, TV really likes to see him do good.

All it took was his club!

I'm rather enjoying seeing other guys get their turn at being the best.

I really couldn't care less.
I judge people by their value towards society that perhaps has totally diminished AND then to rebuild.
His worth could be perhaps to find the Rodents holes with his talent to defend against storages of wheat .
These are special skills!

Well the golf commentator said yesterday that when Tiger was in this position in the past namely leading after 3 days, then 47 out of 51 times he goes on to win. However Graham MacD. is right behind him and he has beaten Tiger before. I have nothing against Tiger but I do like to see the wealth spread around. However there is no denying his talent. If he is way ahead after nine holes this aft, I will be snoozing on the couch. If he is well challenged I will be wired up!

John Daly and my youngest brother have been known to hang out on occasion.
Daly reportedly told him that Nicklaus was the best ever, but he was an arse. The bad guys in tin cup and happy gilmore were kinda patterned after nicklaus.

Palmer on the other hand was as classy as they get and would help everyone else if he could even if they were competing agin him.

I remember asking Nicklaus for an autograph at the Memorial once when I was maybe 6... He didn't just say no, he ripped me a new one for bothering him, lectured me, might have teared up a bit, haha. A hole . Go Tiger.

I understood/know that Jack Nickalus is a real prick...but so far no one has beaten his record...Tiger was going to be a shoe in until he derailed himself..Now momenteum will probably carry him across the finish line.

I always did like the movie a Face In The Crowd..which was about being a Media Star and fame. At the end of the movie Walter Matheau says, "Oh yeah somebody will give you another chance and you will be on TV, but you will never be as big as you once were."

Never get tired of watching it, if ya have a chance check it out.

He should have never married that money-grubbing white girl.

lol, it's funny because it's true.

He was doing just fine with the money grubbing white girls without marrying them, he didn't have to marry one.

You should have waited until he finished hitting his tee shot.

I certainly do not approve of his past mess up...

But I think it must be difficult to be a famous (musician/actor/athlete)...

With people in their face all the time... no privacy... everyone following you around with cameras 24/7... how many of us would get caught in a bad temper looking like an a-hole once in a while? Not to mention the constant temptations that come with being rich/famous/good looking.

However he is great to watch!

I think tiger is back!

Role model?

according to Hank Haney,his instructor,in his new book,he is cheap, arrogant,mistreated his wife,loves porn,doesn`t tip anyone,and is generally rude. What a great role model!

That undoubtedly helped Hank sell his book.

Most likeable golf guys that I would go for a beer with (if they invited me!?!?): Tiger Woods is not one of them. Matt Kutcher, Graeme McDowell, Arnold Palmer, Rory McIlroy to name just a few. I must confess I like happy people.
