OT: Tiger Woods arrested for DUI
Maybe Idevon1 isn't all that old.
Non-white is probably a more accurate term.
But yeah it's sad what's happened with Tiger. He made golf more fun.
I agree Arnie definitely had the biggest cultural impact/influence of the game, in terms of expanding the game's outreach to all.
But on the professional level and the talent needed to win on the PGA tour, Tiger had the biggest influence of any past, present, and likely future player on the game. He was the first to prove that physical weight/strength training gives a huge advantage, and he really set the bar for the dedication it takes to be the dominant (think "Tiger Days". Hell, the PGA tour even needed to start "Tiger Proofing" their courses.
Being born in 93 and playing competitive golf throughout high school/college, there wasn't a person in the world I idolized as much as him as a kid. What a stunning and sad fall from grace he's had.
having the best 10 year period.
But Jack Nicklaus' prime lasted a lot longer.
Might have something to do with Jack not having an alcohol problem.
Even Jack recognized that, in his prime, Tiger was the better player.
"He plays a game with which I am unfamiliar." Jack Nicklaus on Tiger Woods.
plays a game with which I am unfamiliar" was a quote by Bobby Jones about Jack Nicklaus.
As for their respective games, Jack was probably the best driver of the golf ball ever to live. He hit the ball 330 yards with 1960s equipment while hitting a controlled fade. The combination of that shot shape that promotes accuracy with Jack's prodigous distance was truly remarkable. Both were very good iron players, Tiger was far superior with wedges, out of the sand, and with trouble shots of all varieties.
Tiger was a much more creative player than Nicklaus, and had possibly the best short game of all time. Both players almost always avoided big numbers in their prime by never taking unnecessary chances. They were both very smart golfers. Both were exceptional putters, Tiger's numbers are better throughout his career but their clutch putting was a coin flip.
Both were considerably better players in their prime than Palmer. Palmer was a very good player but he was no Jack or Tiger.
Downside; Thats a rough looking mugsht, and his life is likely in complete shambles
Upside; Still not Gary Busey
at seeing the bright side. Well played.
(random trivia: Busey and I hail from the same small town in Texas)
Shambles is a stretch. As far as I know, he isn't broke. I thought his fall was limited to having no golf game and way too much sex while married.
Why is someone who is that rich driving himself anywhere? I would have a guy sleeping in my garage 24 hrs/day just because I could afford it.

I have never understood why anyone with that kind of money ever drives themselves. I get driving for the pleasure of it but 95% of the time driving is an inconvenience at best and a liability at worst. We’ve already established that he has some guys in his circle that will take a secret to the grave, he can’t chip those guys off some green to be 24/7 drivers, no questions asked?
You just need to have a kid with a degree in in the humanities.
Heyooooo....
....not sure which is a better look?
....not sure which is a better look?
They both look the same to me.
I love these hidden picture puzzles.
I mean, if you can't count on a porn star to be on the pill, what the hell can you count on in this mixed-up crazy world?
....don't forget about all those waitresses from Perkins!
That's when it was obvious he had a problem. That woman was on her period and he banged her in a parking lot.
This would not absolve Tiger, but I cannot help but agree you are 100% dead on.
He knocked up anyone.
for the past eight years.
Let the feeding frenzy begin...
No...I believe this belongs in the Monday Afternoon Farting thread.
OT season am I right?!
Fuck...
he was the most dominant athlete I've ever seen with the possible exception of young Mike Tyson. Too bad we didn't get to see what the rest of his career might have been minus the bad back and personal chaos. To be honest, I hardly ever watched golf before his rise, and haven't watch much since his fall.
