Lots of funny stuf in here but I do not think Tiger woods will be missing the cut at Augusta, He was still #1 when he left for a bit.

cant' wait to check out the action; should be one of the most tv watched events, even for none-golfers.
Yes, sad to hear re: Billy Hills.
And, yes, Woods: he will be ready-- he is not only spending a few moments in front of cameras, but LOTS OF TIME ON THE COURSE! He has a game plan! Believe me!!!

Hi Pat, I see you're from NJ. What's the tv coverage been like for Tiger in the States? Has he been receiving bad press or supportive press?

It seems to be a very interesting mix of coverage: initial coverage was very bad: as each of his "players" surfaced, press up in not such a good light; however, things have calmed a bit and players seem to be sticking by him outwardly when questioned with press. Where are u from?

I Hope he does American golf has been great without him never knew there were so many other golfers in Tournaments I know it is not his fault also the way he thinks he apologised to his fans was an insult to them. I also do not think he is the sort of person who is a good role model for younger players

Why do so called fans think Tiger woods owes them an apology, I'm a fan of golf, what Tiger got up to off the course is his business, Though I think he would of passed Jack's total of majors if he hadn't had quiet so many "off course" interest on the go at the same time. :)

I'll have a £50 wager that you are wrong, and another £50 that he will win it. ;-)
Tiger - Best thing to have happened to golf since the good old days of Palmer and Nicklaus...heady days.

I do not disagree with you on Tiger’s golfing skills but he could not tie the laces of the three greats that put golf where it belongs. Also as far as the apology is concerned I would agree with you Tiger does not need to apologies to the people who have made him so rich but if he had not put himself on such a pedestal he would not have had to. I mean have you ever hear John Daly apologise for all his faults and yet the press are not after his throat. Yes I also agree with you that Tiger will make the cut unfortunately and I still say his attitude is the wrong one for young golfers to follow.

Fair enough Clark, but was John Daly EVER in the position that Tiger was...not even close, and to suggest thet he put himself on a pedestal is a bit over the top don't you think. The media and sponsors were certainly to blame for that. I would also question your assertion that he couldn't hold a candle to the greats. Even they have said he is a phenomenon.... Nicklaus in particular. As far as his personal life is concerned, I am sure he is not alone in his personal failings, but, and I certainly do not condone his actions, (I think he was a prat), everything he does in put under the media microscope, unlike lesser mortals. The man is a world celebrity even among the non golfing community. You could not say that about the greats of the past. Would that I was in his position, I could easily be a prat for a while. :-)

Well, so much for my predictive abilities ... What amazed me was how well Tiger actually did, despite really not being on his game. Westwood played inspired golf ... just a little short of what Mickelson was able to produce. And a great run by Fred Couples ... all in all, a great Masters.

Agreed Dave, one of the best Masters ever, and Phil Mickelson absolutely deserved his win. He was bold and brave. Cannot say that about Westwood - not nearly aggressive enough when it mattered.
My big disappointment was in Tiger Woods, he was incredible, and as the commentators said, ONLY he would have ended up 11 under the way he played..BUT, his fit of pique when he missed a birdy put, and walked off with a bogey, and his subsequent 'couldn't care less attitude, spoke volumes. If I can't win, I don't wanna play....an insult to everyone else. I was once a great fan - no longer I'm afraid. He will always be the best golfer in the world for me, but I now agree with Clark, he is a very poor role model.

Just read the two articles and agree. I also take it Tiger will carry on insulting golf by only playing in the majors. Golf can do without the likes of Tiger but Tiger cannot do without golf. So it is about time golf pointed this out to him.
