Sabre fan Posted May 29, 2017 Report Posted May 29, 2017 Poor Tiger sure is having his problems these days. Now he has been arrested for a DUI http://www.wgr550.com/articles/news/tiger-woods-arrested Quote
GoPre Posted May 29, 2017 Report Posted May 29, 2017 People are responsible for their own decisions. Tiger has truly fallen off the map. Quote
Sabre fan Posted May 29, 2017 Author Report Posted May 29, 2017 strange to think how he had it all...a great life with everything...and apparently is throwing it all away. Sad Quote
French Collection Posted May 29, 2017 Report Posted May 29, 2017 I'm a Jack Nicklaus fan so it looks less likely every year that Tiger will break his Majors record. Quote

GoPre Posted May 29, 2017 Report Posted May 29, 2017 I'm a Jack Nicklaus fan so it looks less likely every year that Tiger will break his Majors record. I agree Tiger will not match his Majors record. But wow in 2008 it almost looked like a sure thing. 14 Majors for Tiger at the age of 32? Simply incredible. Now the guy is 41. Nicklaus doesn't have much to worry about. Quote
ParkMeadow Posted May 29, 2017 Report Posted May 29, 2017 Looks like Tiger needs to look to John Daly for some pointers... Too bad, so sad. Hope he gets it turned around. Quote
ct fab Posted May 29, 2017 Report Posted May 29, 2017 Couldn't happen to a better guy. All the $$ in the world and can't get a driver?? Quote

Buffalo Wings Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 I'm a Jack Nicklaus fan so it looks less likely every year that Tiger will break his Majors record. That went out the window when his transgressions became public. He hasn't been the same golfer - or the same person - since then. I think Tiger became more enamored with the fame and fortune and stopped loving the game. Perhaps he started to lose his desire after his father died (no more pressure to win?), but he clearly didn't handle his life properly once he had everything he could possibly have. Quote

bunomatic Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 It all started to go downhill around the same time his Dad died. No moral compass ? Him and Dad were together for most if not all of Tigers life. The definition of a helicopter parent. Hard to feel sorry for the guy. He had it all. Quote

Maybe professional compass, but moral, certainly not. Quote

I think it's rather unfair to completely ignore his back issues and surgeries. Definetly a big deal having a bad back in golf, or virtually all aspects of life. Also, appears as though alcohol was a non factor. He said in a statement that he mixed medications and didn't think it would affect him in such a way, while still acknowledging it was his own fault. I mean, whatever stock he might have had left is defintely plummeting, but we shouldn't automatically assume the worst. Edited May 30, 2017 by LikeEich Quote

I mean, whatever stock he might have had left is defintely plummeting, but we shouldn't automatically assume the worst. Good point about the back & knee issues...but I'd still say that's on him. His swing was very controlled, yet extremely fast. The amount of torque he put on his body for all those years likely caught up with him and were a huge factor in those injuries, IMO. I don't doubt he's on enough medication to make a pharmacy jealous, but I wonder why he was out driving at 3am. Perhaps sleepwalking? The excuse just seems fishy to me. Quote
Eleven Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 ESPN photo shopping his mug shot :doh: If they wanted to do him a favor, they could have used any of the hundreds of thousands of file photos that aren't, you know, mug shots. Quote
ubkev Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 ESPN photo shopping his mug shot :doh: That picture just screams "fcuk! A billion people are going to see this sh!it!" Quote
WildCard Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 Pretty sure it came out today that he blew a 0.00 for the police. He was honestly telling the truth about his medication Quote
That Aud Smell Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 The only time that I (willingly) watched golf was when Tiger was doing this thing. That was spectacle - that was fun. Nicklaus was quoted today as saying that Tiger needs help, and that he wants to do what he can to provide that help. A fair and accurate telling of how and why Woods came undone is one I'd like to read. My thought was that it really started to come apart when his private weirdness, lewdness came to light in connection with his divorce. It seemed like a balloon popped and the air just started hissing out of the balloon. But someone upthread talked about how getting dinged for PEDs was part of the reason he went downhill. And what about the stresses and strains that his body endured as a result of being a child prodigy who repeated the same motions over and over (and over and over and over) again? Fascinating case study, I imagine. Quote
