Will Tiger Woods win any majors in 2012

[storm rider]

The golf season will soon be upon us.....I am being optimistic With Tiger winning a tournament to close out the 2011 season do you think he will add to his list of Majors in 2012?

Americans always loved comebacks. :nod:

Strange thing is he hasn't won a Major since drug testing. Even wierder is that he paid his Ex millions of dollars he didn't have to. Hmmmm makes you wonder. Any one who doesn't think he was juicing needs to give their head a shake.

He looked like he was getting his game back at the end of the year but i still think he wont win a major... Rickie Fowler will though

 

[Fillup]

Who'd have thought Fowler would have one less major and two less wins then Keegan Bradley.

Masters. Gary Woodland
US Open. Luke Donald
British. Lee Westwood
PGA. Steve Striker

Wow. What a dumb post.
Tiger does not even have the physique of someone who is using PEDs. He is an averaged sized guy who looks like he hits the gym a couple of times per week. People who are out of shape are often very quick to accuse someone with a half way decent build of drug use.
Successful golfers can be scrawny or fat slobs. There is nothing steroid use will do to improve a golfers game.

Tigers golf season starts tomorrow. I think his personal expectations for the upcoming year are very high.

Fowler is all hype. Before talking about him winning a major, let's see if he can even win a PGA tour event.

Tiger is a great golfer, or was, and time will tell if he regains his form. If so, awesome, golf is boring without a superstar. BUT until he matches/beats Jack Nicklaus for most majors, he ain't the best ever, not by a long shot. He may have had a the best decade by a golfer, but not a career. Not yet. He can get there, but he's getting older himself.

All I can say is I wish I were in the same shape Tiger Woods is in.....I am 40 and and I have never in my life been in that state of physical conditioning....his ultimate goal is to beat down the Golden Bear and I think he will do it....he has many years left.....fuck I just WISH I could hit my driver as far as Tiger hits a 3 iron....I might be able to make par with some good putting.

Tiger lost his wife and kids and a few hundred millions,so no happiness for him.
He lost his mojo baby. And no whores want him if he doesn't have the money to pony up a happy meal. Like one of his 50 mistresses
"all Tiger spent any money on me was a burger." Not a meal,but a burger.CHEAP! Or she was very plain jane in the sack.
No tournament wins this year.
Perhaps Tiger can rehire his original caddie he was the good luck guy for choosing the right irons.

You are clueless. Even after parting with half of what he had, Tiger still has more loose change jammed between his sofa cushions than most people make in a year. He won't be hurting from a lack of female attention. If it is even relevant, he will still have more women throwing themselves at him than he can handle.

As for his golf, pro golfers mostly rely on their caddy to give them the yardage, carry their bag and hand them the requested club. Steve Williams was good at that. He rarely helped Tiger read putts and if Tiger saw it break to the right and Steve saw it as straight, do you think he is going to go with Steve? Get serious. Caddies are sounding boards. On the rare occasion, Steve would talk Tiger out of using a requested club.

I see Tiger with 1 major this year and at least 5 overall tour victories. His troubles are behind him, his health seems fine and he is driven to regain his old form.

Tiger is 2 shots off the lead at the Dubai Classic which is loaded with top 10 players in the World. He was also paid 1.5 Million just to show up for all of you who are worried about him He's already playing good golf.

Tiger had 2 good rounds and I think he will be leading after the 3rd as he can take the preasure.......sure would be nice to get paid 1.5 million just to show up

But his gam seemed to be on.

I think he'll win one and wouldn't be surprised if it's The Masters. Other golfers don't fear him anymore, the competition is stronger than ever, but the guy still has it in him in my opinion. I used to hate Tiger but after the shit hit the proverbial fan I figured any guy who could pick up a waitress at a pancake joint and promptly bang her in a church parking lot is ok in my books!:thumb:

Final round starts at midnight on GC. Plenty of people with a few shots so a straggler could go low and steal it. As much as this tournament should be seen as a success for Tiger regardless of what happens, I think there is tremendous pressure for him to win since one of the knocks against him since he lost to Yang is that his invincibility is gone and he does not intimidate anymore.

Well, you call me dumb and assume I'm out of shape. The thing is you don't seem to understand the full spectrum of PEDs or the history of Eldrick Woods. Steroids and their like help you to recover faster and train harder. It doesn't have to make you a behemouth like Lyle Alzado. You say he isn't/wasn't huge. He certainly is compared to other golfers and his pec development was freakish for an athlete who needs core strength.

Woods was the longest hitter on tour, now since drug testing he is one of the shorter hitters. He was using driver and wedge into most 4s and if you don't think that's an advantage you don't understand the game. Hs pattern of behaiviour was typical of a steroid abuser and ask yourself why would he right a cheque to the Sweedish nanny for multiples of what she would get in a normal divorce?

If you think the players on the PGA Tour are fat slobs then you haven't watched golf in a few years.

I am a 8 handicap golfer so I do understand the game very well.
By your logic, the bigger hitters on the tour should be huge guys? Tiger doesn't swing with reckless abandon as he did when he was younger which contributes to his reduced distance off the tee. There are some skinny guys that can bomb their drives on average over 300 yards. Tiger has been criticized for using "old technology" and it is old compared to what his contemporaries use. If he swung like he used to and used "newer technology" he would hit the ball as far as Quiros or Bubba.

In terms of his physical appearance, he looks the same as he did 3 years ago which is far from a fitness model. Freakish pec development?? Looking at his pic on the cover of Vanity Fair, maybe you can see how I would think that we may have different opinions of what constitutes being in shape...although I did not call you out of shape or dumb.

with all of his very public failures, all Tiger has proven is that 90% of Golf is played between the ears. I suspect that knee troubles and other distractions are behind him now and he will once again be a very good golfer, if not a champion.

Yea most golf is between the ears, but body does matter as it starts to wear down and areas become problematic. Fred Couples comes to mind, as he got older he could pull it out for a round or two, but never a full tourney (mind you this was a back, no small matter at all). Just saying, no matter how much of the killer golf instinct Tiger gets back, his window is closing. Personally I'm pulling for him to get there and possibly be the greatest.

 

[Elmore]

Phil had his greatest success at least with majors after he was in his late 30s and he is no physical specimen. Vijay and Stricker are other examples of people who had great success after 40. To beat or match Nicklaus' major record, I would say Tiger needs to get 1 this year.

But he has a serious flaw in his game right now. He used to be able to shape his shots much better. Like Phil, he could work the ball left to right or right to left. Now it seems like the fade is all he can hit. If he is not drawing the ball by the time he gets to Augusta it could be a long tournament for him.

 

[Dgodus]

Yea I'm just an idiot who misses Freddy and talks out his ass from time to time (aka all the time)
