Should Tiger retire ?

[GREENHEAD]

He has all the money in the world.
He can get all the poo-tang he wants.
He can enjoy his life any way he wants.Be with his kids more.

This has become embarrassing. His reputation is being shot to shit.
If I was him, I'd retire.

I do enjoy fading him and making small change. What do you pro's think?

dumb dumb dumb question

1. its golf, golf is what people do when they are retired lol

2. after Tigers divorce and sponsorship dumps, I doubt hes close to as well off as he once was, high mortgages and child care etc.

3. if people and media would quit riding his jock all the time it would be better for everyone. tiger cant help that espn shoves him down your throat, or that vegas keeps giving him favorable odds, his current trouble and continuing status shows just how great he once was.

4. tons of players struggle for much longer than tiger is currently, should they all just retire singh, els, duval etc. should they all just retire?

I thought he already was, and just played golf for recreation.

 

[steaktartar]

LOL.wasnt he tied for the lead in the masters this yearlate on sunday?........

 

[douglas]

yea ..........Mariano too ..........there done ............

 

[Fishhead]

Woods retire before Favre................amazing.

 

[Betallsports]

First off, I never liked him. But he Was a great player... Not the Greatest IMO ...Still think Jack was....

Anyway, you are right. The guy is a Mess ! I also think he is in a delusional state of mind. but that's besides the point.

Should he retire ?? probably Not, but I really think he needs Time off.

No....he is healthy....let him play a little more consistently and then bring it back up. Remember, there are two other points in his career when he has gone 2 yrs without winning a major, then won a bunch of them....I'm not saying he wins a bunch of them again, but I think once he gets comfortable with the new swing, he wins again. Not 7 wins in a row again or tiger slam again, but he will win some more imo

 

[taylor13]

no way he needs more time off. he needs to play, the only thing that will heal him mentally is winning, I say that because that is the only thing he hasn't done since all the drama began. When he wins again, it will be the most emotional we will ever see from tiger

I pretty much agree but I think He needs to get a regular knowledgeable Caddie also.

Yeah, he's doing a Great job "Winning" now hno:

 

[oldmanTED]

No! Even though he is a long way from winning again, if he retires at 35 years old, he will likely not know what to do with his time, which will lead him to nothing but trouble given his past. He, like most people, needs a goal to pursue. Without one, a person just wanders no matter how much money they have.

Hey GH! Did you catch my 19-1 shot at Saratoga today? Finished 2nd! Nice payoff. Everyone gets lucky once in awhile! @)

 

[M.Saracen]

The last thing he needs is time off.

Stupid thread.

 

[taylor13]

Yep....he said he was going to get one after this week. I think he is getting his buddy Mark Omeara's old looper

I agree. He should even consider playing in a golf tournament with a very weak field (even some weak field overseas in some smaller tour, like the Australian Tour or South Africa Tour)

Basically, he needs to see the ball go through the hoop (to use a basketball reference) even if it is against weaker competition. This will give him some confidence to carry-over until next year IMO.

Where is VD coming in saying he is going to win again?

The guy is done, I mean, come on, it's obvious.

The Bengals win a playoff game before he wins another major

 

[TheCommish]

Tiger will be back to Championship form next year. He has been hurt for 2 years, he has changed swing coaches and he has revamped his swing and is doing it different than he ever has before. Give him time and he will be back to maybe not the Old Tiger but he will win 2 more majors

Its not about not winning a major , its about winning anything now. I have to believe this is a mental thing now. He could be going down the same route at Duval, etc. I hope not, but it has to enter your mind
