mcsluggo Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Tiger Wood's fall has been shocking, but not extraordinary. There are lots of Grant Hills, Penny Hardaways, Shawn Kemps of the world. the longevity from the Michael Jordans and Karl Malones are the exception, not the rule. Tiger was more reliant on athleticism than his peers and lots of athletes like that see a drop off in their prime years, some earlier than other... Tiger Wood's body gave out on him. Whetehr it is due to steroids (or stopping using steroids) is speculative.... but the physical fall-off is undeniable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jones Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I don't follow golf or Tiger, but did Woods use Steroids? He does look like he did and is that not cheating in golf. Does it matter in golf besides hitting the ball farther? Just asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsluggo Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 it matters alot for being able to recover from injury, and recover time from extensive training/practice. Tiger put alot more stress on his body than most golfers (or so i have been told by the pundits) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadium-Armory Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Yeah to be honest, that sucked. I don't want to see that at the Masters. I want to see guys going for it, pushing for those Eagles And yet, he birdied the two par 5s coming down the stretch. The score card isn't story book. If true, add steroids, and explains the sudden fall. Caught up with him. Do they drug test in golf? Yes, they do. Scott Stallings was suspended this year for PED use.

Beyond that, I can't think where steroids would increase your odds of winning. He hit the ball further back he was skinny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Plus there is absolutely no evidence he used PEDs. None. I suspect that Tiger's downfall can be almost entirely attributed to him continously perfecting his swing and his now strained relationship with Butch Harmon.

Destino Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Why did he pay off his mistress and have her sign an confidentiality agreement after the news of his affairs were already well known? What was he worried she was going to say that would matter in to the tunes of millions of dollars? The world already knew he exhibited the sexual discernment of a frisky truck driver. I think stuff like that coupled with his sudden decline is why people think there is more to the story than just Tiger woods relationship with Butch Harmon. All athletes age and as they do suffer from injuries, but Tiger Woods went over a cliff suddenly and after looking like he might recover fell on his face to the point of being kind of a punchline with excuses like this "my glutes are shutting off."

Momma There Goes That Man Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Maybe he had a guy with him that night or was doing some other stuff. Or was doing coke too. I mean there are a lot of other reasons besides the unlikely scenario that one of his multiple mistresses somehow knew about his steroids use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Tiger kept tinkering with his swing and got advice from so many people. Tiger changed his swing multiple times and dominated. After his injuries, he had to change his swing to save his knees which hurt everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hail2skins Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 And interesting that he's within only 3 shots of the lead........of course along with 13 others, but still should be at least one day of Tiger suspense, something we really haven't had in a while.

The Evil Genius Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 That 74 on Saturday kept him from making noise on Sunday. 68-66-74-68 If you believe him - he's close. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I was glad Tiger was at least under par. That being said, lots of good stuff this weekend. I watched pretty much all day both Sat & Sun. Nice to see some new names on the leaderboard. One of my co-workers said he likes Rickie Fowler lately...because he's just good enough to make his douchebaggery tolerable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busch1724 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 His issue is clearly the driver, and it has been for years. Sure the short game stuff earlier this year popped up, but he's gotta quick trying to kill every drive. When he dials it back a hair, he hits fairways. He's ready to win.

So what you really mean is that he is done being the single most dominant modern day golfer ever and now will be like the top 20% of the PGA and win a tournament or two every year? Granted..he has to get back to winning..but still..I think I could see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshile Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I think top 20% would be the high level. Don't forget, they were obviously, and regularly, mocking him and laughing at him on TV just a few weeks ago. His issue isn't that he can't play great golf, it's that he can't do it very often. It'll take more than one good weekend to do that. I'd love to see him have one last dominate year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
