I feel badly for those that cannot enjoy the brilliance that Tiger Woods possesses.

We are lucky to be able to witness it.

He’s quite a golfer but cannot touch Jack Nicklaus.

Yes. More the pity that like Serena, he’s just not a very likeable person.

I think he can only blame himself for that.

Hope he can find his former brilliance. And dominance. I’d love to see it.

Didn't he once play and win with a broken ankle? For the longest time he played like he was super human.


Oh yeah, and now he's older than most others and still competitive.


Sorry when someone exhibits all of these type of things it has to make you wonder if he didn't and maybe still using something.

The game is more fun to watch when he is contending. Was hoping he and Rory would be dunking it out today. Both of them can be spectacular.

Let's just say it's a suspicion based on the same MO of numerous athletes going back at least a couple of decades.

I have no idea what you are on about.

I’m saying that if Jack had played with a broken ankle and won he’d have been feted, not vilified by unfounded accusations.

How exactly are you insinuating that Mr Woods has cheated? (Other than on Elin, of course)

Uh.. ok. Even the caddy that threw Tiger under the bus feels strongly that he never cheated.

And let’s be honest - so much of golf is between the ears your unfounded accusations wouldn’t matter like they would in swimming or track and field.

They used to say the same things about hitters and then pitchers in baseball. Sorry, but when you start thinking that it might be supper human then there's usually a good reason to suspect the results.

why would Tiger have so many failed comebacks before taking performance enhancers? He is playing well now and there's no evidence he is cheating

You are clearly entitled to whatever your beliefs may be. I truly enjoy what he brings to the party.

Do you think he was cheating in 1997 when he demolished the field?

That was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen (on TV, at least)

I suspected that he was cheating when he was successful. Not sure if I thought that before or after that broken ankle win. If he is cheating now I don't think this is anything new for him.

If I took PEDs that doesn't mean I would win, in fact I know I would still wouldn't win. Drugs aren't a guarantee, but they are an enhancer.

Yeah, I think it's extremely possible. He's highly competitive and I believe he would do anything to win. Now where have we seen this happen before. Can you say.....


Lance Armstrong
Barry Bonds
Sammy Sosa
Mark McGuire
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on...……...
