I wouldn’t count out Phil, he is having a very solid year so far. In five tournaments in the 2018 season, he has placed 5th, 2nd and 6th. Tiger is far far far far off from that type of success.
But we are seeing late errors in all those tournaments. A sign that he has regressed to his very early years. He has a better shot but he doesn't play a big schedule either.

I follow Phil pretty closely. His putting from 5-10 feet has been a big issue the past few years along with keeping his drives in the fairway. Prior to that it was his iron play/approach shots. Last year especially he was unable to put 4 solid rounds together. It seemed he'd have that one round where some part of his game would fail him, keeping him out of contention. Could that be age?

Tiger needs to do a better job on the par 5 holes making birdies.The par 3 shot over the water Tiger's drives have been erratic and caused bogies.

I could not care less about Tiger. He made his millions. Somehow I doubt he ever wins another major.

What do you mean by each year? Be is if Tiger wins another major on the PGA tour (Master, US Open, the Open, and PGA championship).

Every year, $100 bet. If he wins one, I pay you. If he doesn’t, you pay me. It resets at the start of every season and ends when he leaves the tour.

Love how this guy has spent the whole thread bashing Tiger’s chances of winning anything again, daring people to bet him. Then when someone does, he gets scared and folds and misses the bet

I see it differently. He is putting up $100 every year until Tiger leaves the tour. Not just a lousy $100 bet.

Should be an interesting day in Palm Beach Gardens. Winds are down and scores are low so far. Tiger picked up one and now sits at -2

Of course he is. Much better odds betting on an unlikely event to happen in 4 chances, instead of an unlimited number of chances

So far today he's hitting a lot fairways and greens, but just missing on his putts. Opposite of a few weeks ago. He's missed a ton of 10-15 footers, make a few and he's in the top 3 probably, right now he's tied for 9th at -3, and not that far back, making 4 or 5 strokes.

Because that’s not the bet. I am confident that Tiger will win one more major, not one every year. I put a c-note on it. Cali is a big boy. He doesn’t need your help.
This. Cali said he would never win another major. He didn't say he wouldn't a major this year. Big difference.

You do realize Tiger never met the guy until late 2008. How do you explain Tigers success before that when he won all his majors?
What does that have to do with anything?? No one is disputing that he was the best (or one of the) best golfers of all time before he would have used PEDs. Something about his psyche made him want to do even more and he made the mistake of bulking up, which wouldn't have been a good idea for a golfer even if it was natural (which it wasn't).

It's similar to Barry Bonds, who was already a HOF baseball player before he started taking things that increased his head and feet size as well as his muscles.

I said him healthy will make cuts. He will likely win some small tourney, which this wasn’t even. Too old, too many good golfers. His time has come and gone. It was a great run. He is a nice addition to the field. Gets people talking about golf a little more, and no one wants to see people go out injured.

$100 it is.
I have $100 with Cali, as well. His game is getting sharper and sharper....

The anything has to do with the quote I was responding to. Lefty was making a bold accusation.
"all a result of Cheating, which is who Tiger ALWAYS was, a cheater."
I have no idea if he cheated. Wouldn't surprise me if he did or didn't. But Im not going to post crap like Lefty as fact. That was my point.
I agree any golfer shouldn't bulk up. Its doesn't help. Look at Rory. Slowly losing his game but im sure he likes looking in the mirror.

"Yeah, my expectations have gone up . . . I know it's been a long time, but I remember how to do this."

Wow, his interviews have been honest, with a smile. Refreshing as he was a prick when he was at the top of his game. He has been humbled but he has changed his attitude. He was thrilled to play that well this weekend.

Exactly. Dollaz is not smart enough to understand the obvious. I didn’t think the other guy was that dull. I’m trying to make it interesting.

Funny. When money gets involved, people’s bravado shrinks.

So every year, $100. Resets every year. $100 per. Ends when he leaves tour full time. Chase is in for $100. Who else?

You said he wouldn't win another major, period. But your bet isn't that. You backed away. You are the ***** by changing the bet. Stand by your original statement. Year by year reset totally favors you. Make it a 5 year bet. If he never wins another in 5 years you get a $100. You pay a $100 for each one he wins in the next 5 years.

Fine pay me in 8 years after he doesn’t win one. Or this year after he hurts himself again is done.

You guys are lame.

I didn't see that quote you responded to, which is ridiculously wrong. Tiger was dominating as a skinny kid. To say his whole career was because of cheating is stupid.

If anything, it looks like he got to a status of being in a pair with Nicklaus as best ever without cheating, then wrecked his body trying to keep/exceed that status once some injuries/age started making it harder to dominate.

Cali benefits greatly by changing his bet this way. He said Tiger would "never" win another major. So if Tiger does win a major, say 3 years from now he would be wrong. However by changing the bet he would collect $200 before he would pay $100. Cali was trying to get away with a bait and switch. Yet he calls us lame.

Needs to stop leaking oil at the end of rounds and tournaments. Happened during his last “healthy” year too.

All I see is you guys saying Tiger is back. If he is back, the dude previously won 14 majors. Your odds should be pretty good if he is truely back.
