Can you say Grand Slam? We could be looking at history this time around. For him... Augusta, Birkdale, Torrey Pines, and Oakland Hills. It's only 4 tournaments. Tiger!! |

Yep. Good job for him the Ryder Cup doesnt count as a major, though...... |

The Ryder Cup is all about the team, and that's something the Americans seem to know nothing about. |

I wonder what the odds are in Vegas right now on Tiger winning it all. I'm tempted to fire on him. Dude can play some golf! |

Mickelson is loaded with talent too, much like our Joey. |

Which I find a bit strange, as you're a patriotic lot whereas our players are representing a 'nation' that doesnt actually exist.
Its the only time I know when I personally get any sense of being 'European'... |

I think it comes down to most of them being (imo) ridiculously overpaid on the US PGA tour (say thank you Tiger) and Ryder Cups don't pay prize money. They're really not that interested unless it includes piles of benjamins but Tiger might be the exception. I honestly believe he plays for history. I wouldn't want to play him! |

I quit golfing. I got worse as I went on. But, I did have a hole in one, kind of. After playing golf and drinking for hours I hit a tee shot off a par three than went about two feet. My second shot went right at the green. Getting close to dark we did not see where it hit. After several minutes looking for the ball my friend reached into the cup and pulled out my ball. |

No kidding, I had the same deal on acid. I was tripping and hit a 60 yard wedge uphill onto the green. Got up to the green and spent what seemed like hours walking around in circles trying to find the ball, and forgetting everywhere I looked seconds later. Then it dawned on my buddy - similarly tweaked - to look in the hole. There she lay. Shades of Ellis. |

Nope, no kidding. Hell, they even got pissed at us when we fired up a bowl in the clubhouse to celebrate my triumph. Like WTF I should have won the Cadillac floating on the water hazzard. Tiger would have nver made the shot I did after drinking as much as I did. |

The drunken short iron is the biggest weakness in his game. |

No, you are wrong. They pay me a ton to keep away, so I don't challenge Tiger to a drunken iron shot competition. |

The man's a menace! This time, 31 on the back 9 to win at Dubai. How do you fly 20 hrs, adjust to the time change, play the pro-am, check in on your first course design, and still win? We're definitely looking at one of the greatest athletes of all time here. Even if you don't follow golf, you owe it to yourself to watch this guy. We won't see another one like him in our lifetime. |

The golf tournament was better than the Superbowl yesterday.
I wonder why Tiger goes so far out of his way for that tournament? Is it the $2M appearance fee? Is it the $28M design fee for his course? More likely it is the 10% commission he gets on all the golf villas around the course that sell for $4-5M each.
I might fly 20 hours for that deal as well. I wonder why gas is $3 a gallon and oil is $100 barrel. At least one American is getting a little bit back. Glad he can afford to fill up his Buick. |

I suppose everyone has the potential to "poop themselves" but he'd be the last one I seeing doing it. Not saying it's impossible, but he's got the heart of lion (or tiger). |

Tiger update: He's currently bet $100 to make $1200 to win the Grand Slam this calendar year. I'm in!
Mickelson at Pebble this week is bet $100 to collect only $225. There's a favorite for you. I'm staying clear of Philly though. I never have trusted him. |
