Rail, why so much hate for the US and Tiger? I'm not American, but they are clearly the best nation in the world athletics wise, and Tiger is the greatest golfer I've ever seen, possibly even the greatest athlete period.

I will say the British Open is the best major though IMO. When the weather is going crazy like it has this weekend it's the best tournament to watch.


Tiger is Californian. There is a diffrence. California is the best nation in the world. We would beat the piss out of the other 49 states.

Tiger
Sampras
Serena
Venus

Californians get it. The rest of the USA is big COW PIE.

It is also hilarious to me someone used Hale Irwin as an example. Mickelson already has 14 more PGA wins then him, and just as many majors.

NO reason to compare links style courses to the plush courses of the PGA. Tiger has the shots for both, few others do, Tiger is the best.

haha, augusta a driver/wedge course??? you sir are making yourself look more idiotic than normal today. when you get your game down below a 2 or 3 hcp, then you can start giving your opinion on golf courses and golf tournaments. until then, your opinion as a hack really doesnt matter

There is no way Tiger would have been this successful in the Nicklaus, Palmer era.


he would have dominated more... true more great players at top, but the fields are much, much deeper these days. and as far as the equipment, it doesn't matter as long as they're all using the same technology. just my take.

STFU Rail...you really have no clue about golf and the tours...you have been called out many times and never responded because of your idiotic statements...you don't even know the types of rough for all OPENS...Max1234 has called you out repeatedly...I owned you in the Masters contest and you whined to everyone...I offered you the prize and you still cried like a little girl....you yelled fix in tennis last week and got exposed...you blast the Korean players like the racist you are....get a life Rail, and stop hanging around the little league field of America and corrupting young kids....and I didn't know California was a nation? You know sports, but your warped brain and opinons have serious issues...

"The Open" is right. ITs the REAL major in golf. The US open was a toilet this year, they kissed Tigers ass so he would win for sure. And the MAsters is a rightwing political organization that is a mickey mouse driver wedge course.

ITs nice to see 5 over win, its how real golf is suppose to be. Americans has no idea what it is.
Those big scarey world class golfers like Peter Lawry and Ben Curtis have won this tournament so it must be the "REAL" major. :missingte

Finally, some wisdom in this nonsense.

Again, Rail, you are a tool.

Tiger would be getting his ass handed to him this week also and wouldn't stand a chance in this weather.

Norman is just showing us that golf isn't a real sport either like most understand.

And calling Tiger Woods an athlete is a complete joke. How would any of us know if Tiger could actually play a real sport?

Seriously

Agree 100% amazing how FEW theyre is that hate tiger yet he can stay out this year and next but still be number one. Also, he has brought to th game what noone else has brought such as publicity! Kids use to play shit like lacrosse or soccer, 5 years or more ago they stopped and played golf! Tiger respects everyone before him, why not respect his game!

As someone already said Tiger is probably in better shape than more than half of the players in MLB.

How is golf not a real sport? There are sports beyond the four major ones in case you didn't know. Golf is actually probably more played than baseball. Growing up in Canada to be honest not many people liked baseball. Most pick up golf once they get into college or later, but if you didn't play baseball growing up chances are you won't just pick it up and become a fan.

I love baseball, but golf is just as much a sport and nobody has ever dominated baseball the way Tiger dominates golf. And if you've ever tried playing both like I have, you'd know golf is a much harder sport to play.

Saying Woods Is A Great Athlete IS A Joke

He can do one thing hit a little white ball! When he tries to do anything remotely athletic like jogging he hurts himself. An athlete runs, or throws, or uses speed and agility in a team oriented setting. He may be strong for his endeavor, but what sort of athletic moves has he shown? Hell even the 2 Nat'l Geographic centerfolds can run and show endurance. This is a great tourny in spite of all the doom and gloom beforehand!!

And Manny Ramirez can just hit a baseball, Peyton Manning can just throw a football, Kobe Bryant can just shoot a basketball and Alexander Ovechkin can just shoot a hockey puck. Just because you don't respect hitting a golf ball as much as you respect the talents I listed doesn't make it any less of a sport, and it doesn't mean the greatest golfers don't belong in the conversation of the greatest athlete. Tiger can probably bench press more than 90% of all MLB, NFL, NHL and NBA players. I have no idea how fast the guy can run, but he is in great shape because it is tiring walking up and down a golf coarse for 5 hours a day, 4 straight days in the blazing heat. Hitting a golf ball well is harder than shooting a basketball, throwing a football, shooting a puck or hitting a baseball. I've done all and golf is by far the hardest.

I'm not saying that without a doubt Tiger Woods is the greatest athlete of all time because it is all a matter of opinion, but to dismiss any athlete outside of the four major sports is ridiculous IMO.

I would agree that it goes beyond the 4 majors sports, Tennis, Soccer and Cricket, Rugby, and numerous olympic sports need to be included.

The reason I disagree with Golf being a sport, is because they hit a ball walk take a 3 to 4 min break. That does not diminish Tiger's skill, but so many athletes that play hoops or football or baseball have been dual sport stars on the High School level and were awarded scholarships to play others sports in college.

With the exception a few baseball players, no sports allow you to be physically out of shape. There are no John Daly's in Soccer, Basketball, Hockey, Tennis, Ruby, and Swimming.
