Big spread between the UK and Vegas. No surprise he's favored here.

Is anyone tired of the fawning adulation of Woods by the gallery; especially here at Doral. Sheesh, they climax every time he hits the ball, and if I hear "get in the hole !" one more time, even when he drives the ball, I think I'll scream.

The gallery is full of his ex-lovers...

"Get in the hole" and "You da man" are hardly exclusive to Woods followers... but I agree they are old and tiresome.

Tiger withdraws after a few holes with some kind of injury or discomfort with his left foot or leg.

Did anyone catch the "OJ Simpson" type car chase as Tiger left the golf course. It seemed the injured Tiger was driving. Maybe his caddie had a 4 iron to his head -- it was hard to see.

I find it disgusting that they following him on the course when he is so far back from the leaders and then they actually have live video of him carting off to the clubhouse; and finally on to the highway!

Mean while, McIlroy is making a charge.......Go Rory!

I know the highway stuff was kind of dumb but I think they were just trying to get their money's worth out of the blimp.

The man is suffering from nagging injuries which are common to steroid users...not the type of injury, but the fact that he can't seem to shake 'em.

IMO that man is histoire !
Done dada
Finito
Caput

No more majors.

That was exactly the thought I had when I saw that extended video coverage from the blimp.

Tiger's old caddie but not his current one.

So you're basically tossing in half of all professional sports figures as well. Nagging injuries are as common as a runny nose.

What % of pro athletes do you think use PEDs?

Do you think Tiger used them?
I do

I never really gave it much thought but it's beginning to appear as very likely, especially in light of his "lack of morals" with regard to his marriage. It wouldn't be a large leap to PEDs!

I was a big Tiger fan but I'm finding myself more and more conflicted. I don't know if it's his "attitude" on the course which is fairly negative and apparent; or if it's the continued media fawning (which isn't his fault).

I enjoy a good sport story (e. the Lin basketball story) but continually highlighting someone who isn't performing really is a turn off. Jack was one of my guys growing up and I thought Tiger's chase to break his records was great and something I cheered for. Now, I'm beginning to think that Tiger isn't "Jack-worthy"!

I have no proof that Tiger used roids.
Only the eye test, the injury bug, and the declining performance.

I'm like most people...i loved watching the guy, and i don't even like golf (haven't played a round in 20yrs).
He was golf's meal ticket for years; the game is more popular because of him.
The man just wasn't living right, in a number of ways, and it has caught up with him
