I am astounded by your boldness. Sure, Michael Schumacher was great but what does that have to with Tiger's ability on the golf course and how does this disprove his clear superiority over all other professional players in the field right now?
You sir are talking utter nonsense and I recommend you desist immediately or else we're gonna have to start calling you Roly Poly Sabbatini.
Read sackmunch's post - that was what I was originally referring to. He puts Tiger on some kind of pedestal, making him out to be almost godly in his achievements, which I believe is BS.
Tiger is merely a golfer with lots of talent, who is absolutely fearless, that's all. Where others with the same abilities will lay up, he will try to go over etc. In this regard I like him alot, because that's how I play any sport and this is what I want to see from the professionals. Go big or go home, and I believe many will agree that this makes sport exciting to watch.
I did say that Tiger is the best golf player in our era, no-one can dispute that.

"He's good. He's even amazing at times, but he's not a golf god like you make him out to be."
Pure heresy.

Originally posted by CrowleyUnbelievable. You think he has achieved all that he has because he's not afraid to "go big"? You don't think it has anything to do with the incredbile well-roundedness of his game? The fact that he is the master of his craft and of every golf shot conceived? The fact that he holds himself to incredible standards?

Let's not even begin to discuss the intangibles - what Tiger has done for the sport of Golf and how many people he has influenced with his game.

These top guys have all the shots - I've seen them all make amazing shots. Tiger is merely fearless and will always 'go for it'. That's his X-factor.
Look, we'll just agree to disagree, eh? I've had enough 'sport fights' in these forums to know where they lead.
A dark abyss of misunderstanding and statistics. Ugh.

By the way, Tiger just won his 14th grand slam five minutes ago.
He is now 11-0 in his career in playoff golf and, more importantly, undefeated in major championships when entering the final round with a lead. Sounds rather dominant to me.

Originally posted by CrowleyThe reason why Tiger will take a shot where many other golfers "of the same ability" lay up is because he can make the shot. Surely someone of the same ability would also take that shot. Unless of course, they are not of the same ability.

And I think Tiger dominates Golf, just like Schumacher dominated F1. He will not, cannot, win every tournament, but whenever he plays, he is the man to beat. Period.

Originally posted by knightwestBull. The top 20 golfer, at least, have the same range and shot execution that Tiger has. He has the guts to go for it, he seems fearless.

Maybe because he gets paid so much, whether he wins or not... Hmm, interesting. Maybe his sponsorships have made him an even better golfer than he already was?

Originally posted by CrowleyNo no no no, Rubbish......... There's not another golfer in the world at the moment that has the same range of shots that Tiger has..... He is without question in a different league to the rest......... But, I don't know if anyone has heard Goosen's comments on his supposed knee pain? I'd lost the will to live after 5 days of listening to Tiger's bleating and grimacing after every bad shot he played.... and as the Goose quite cleverley put it, when he went down on his knees after holing a big putt, all of a sudden the pain and soreness had gone!!!!!!!!

From ESPN today:
Tiger Woods has decided to have surgery on his left knee, which will end his 2008 season, according to a source close to Woods.
A report on the Golf Channel, citing unnamed sources, said Woods would have surgery on his ACL.
The Golf Channel and Associated Press reported that Woods suffered a small stress fracture in his left leg about two weeks before the U.S. Open.
The AP reported that Woods is expect to discuss his future on his Web site later Wednesday.
