2012 US Open, The Olympic Club

Tiger's not done... He's got good golf left in him, but he's not the attacking monster he once was, he's inconsistent and doesn't have the intimidation factor he used to have.

[Kevin Greene]

In just 10 events this year Tiger has 2 PGA wins and 3 top 10s.

Only 2 Pros this year match his win total, no one exceeds it.

Tiger is #2 in earnings.

So the reality is he continues to dominate.

Apologies to Haters everywehere.

These are the facts, and they are indisputable by the results.

[Dpantherman]

I've been on and off.

FFS you are truely clueless.

How many Pros have more than 2 PGA wins this year?

Anyone else tie Nicklaus this year in this category (73) for a career?

I'll wait.

If you're just trolling, I understand.

When was his last major? And he's the one who said winning majors is all that matters, or have you conveniently forgotten that?

4 years ago, June 2008, Tiger was at 64 wins....

4 years later and he just got to 73....

do the math...

2008 was also his last major...

[Darth Biscuit]

Is it wrong of me that I want to hear Padraig say "they're magically delicious..."?

[Brooklyn Bully]

Tiger is no longer Tiger. He's just a great golfer now, like so many others. He'll beat Jack's wins record but not the Majors record. Ever since his bravado was taken away from him, he became human.

*sigh*

There has been one Major previous to the US Open this year.

There are only 4 total Majors per year.

For instance Phil Mickelson has 1 Major win since 2006, man he sucks.

I'm done.

Have a nice day.

Tiger would own the world if he was a better person. His arrogance and bad course behavior have turned many off. (Then there was the other thing that lost a few more).

Announcers just talked about how Michelson heard he was Hossler's fav player and he went out of his way to help him. Tiger just dismissed him and talked about himself when the press asked a question.

Tiger has incredible talent. But I am going to pull for others to win. Much more satisfying.

You should be done now that you displayed your complete ignorance- Phil Mickelson won the Masters in 2010. And he also won in 2006, Tiger's last Masters? 2005.

And getting 9 wins in the last 4 years to finally get to 73? Okay- props to getting to 73..... but nobody, including himself, thought it would take this long.

@ladypanther Is it really that big of a deal that Tiger is not a good person? For me I watch sports not for personality/role models but for entertainment. It might not be the same for everyone but I couldn't care less if he has a bad guy(unless he's a murderer/rapist etc.)

Your last point is what helps drives the ratings when Tiger is on. He's one of the most polarizing figures in sports(in his prime), where a lot of people rooted against him as much as for him.

[Kevin Greene]

Welp, looks like no one is going to move up the board after a couple of under par early scores and challenge Furyk or Mcdowell.

So this should be a good 4 or 5 man duel at the most.

Hossler 3 strokes over already and has no chance, Tiger was right of course,

I found it incredibly arrogant when they asked the kid after 3 rounds if he thought he could win the Open and he replied "Absolutely.".

Live and learn son.

[Sapper]

Tiger played like he was going for broke and it went sour unfortunately. He was conservative days 1 through 3 and came firing today. Just can't do that at Olympic.

Really? I didn't get arrogant from that at all... Confidence maybe, but not arrogance.

I've never had a problem with athletic arrogance anyway, those at the top have to have that to a large degree. Tiger's arrogance isn't a problem, It's his crappy attitude I don't like. He's just a jerk.

[TruCatzFan]

I never said he doesn't draw crowds, in fact I said the opposite... but he is NOT golf. It has and will go right on without him.

Perhaps he no longer is golf, that's a legit argument... But can you say that for a long stretch that he wasn't golf? I also agree that there are many many many other golfers that I enjoy watching. It's because of Tiger in my instance that I ever even got involved with the sport. Of course I still watch occasionally... But let's all be honest for a second... It's much more interesting when he's in the hunt..
