Greatest comeback in History if Tiger wins Masters???

[MastaB]

Greatest comeback ever?

It will certainly be the greatest comeback by a golfer in history. And tiger woods is one of the most recognizable and most accomplished athletes in the world. History is in the making. I'm glad I watched both of his rounds so far, and i never really was a tiger fan....

[tltaylor89]

It will be a moral comeback.Tiger never lost his touch for golf.

[MartinBlank]

Not much of a golf fan are ya Masta?

Ben Hogan was in a horrific car accident in 1949.......he lost partial vision in his left eye, his shoulder was basically destroyed.....and he returned the following year to win the 1950 US Open.

Hogan's comeback was a much better story.

What

Its golf man. It has nothing to do with his morals, he already broke his promise and threw his club. I'd rather see the fierce tiger.

His "moral" comeback is still yet to be judged.

[big joe 1212]

tiger is gay

[Boscoe]

Was he really gone that long? What did he miss? Bayhill?

[MartinBlank]

And if you are talking about sports comebacks in history...

Nothing beat Lance Armstrong coming back from cancer.

No one gets close to Lance's story.

[MartinBlank]

Tiger can't hold a match to Hogan's comeback. It ain't even close guys.

[Wrigley]

It would be a great feat to play your first tourney in several months and win the masters , several writers were predicting he would not make the cut.

Huge fan of the game. But, his first tournament back was the Los Angeles Open in 1950 and he took second place, he won the US Open 5 months later.

One of the greatest comebacks in golf for sure. Also, consider how tough the competition is in this era of golf.

Great Story and comeback! Two thumbs up for Lance.

But, you do have to consider the steroids...

Tiger would have been even father behind if he tried to lay it on the line on the second day.He closes the door on the field tomorrow.

[d2bets]

Not sure I get it. He was out for much longer when he was injured. Wasn't that a better comeback. What's his comeback from -- banging a bunch of chicks? Big Toger fan, but it's not a "comeback", he was playing well toward the end of last year anyway. He was and still is primed for a good season.

Masta.....Hogan lost the LA Open in a playoff to Sam Snead.

And......all Woods did was basically take a 5 month vacation. But he could still practice and hit all the balls he wanted to.

Hogan was blinded.

Still gots to go with Hogan.

[Shelton]

Tiger is getting his cock licked right nowi always play better when i get laid

Definitely. This would be the most overrated and overhyped comeback in history. He only missed 3 or 4 tournaments that he'd normally play in. It's not like he took a few years off.

The guys life practically fell apart, hes still picking up the pieces.

He came back for the most prestigious and difficult tournament right in the middle of all this. This is a tournament that he normally prepares for months in advance.

Come on Masta.

This is not the most difficult tournament by a long shot.

This course is nothing like an Open course.

It is a tournament Tiger always plays well at.....but it is tailor made for him. 2, 8, 13, and 15---All Tiger has to do is make birdie on the short par 5's and he has a chance to win every year at Augusta.

[juni]

he didn't even miss a major

Tiger said he didn't hit a ball or practice until a few weeks ago.... "since his accident"

Everyone's making birdies on the short par 5s

Yeah but golf is golf. This kid can do it in his sleep. Just shows that he's still at golf even when he's not getting laid. Who says he hasn't been preparing for months? Sure he has. His PGA win on one leg was much more impressive.

[MartinBlank]

He lives on a golf course Masta.

I will make a deal with you.....Get Elin to carve out Tiger's left eye-----break his shoulder in 4 different places---and launch him through the windshield of their Escalade-----

And then-----if Tiger is in contention at his next US Open-----I will call it the greatest comeback ever.

You do know that tiger was playing with a torn Achilles tendon and torn Knees all last year....right?

[d2bets]

You do know that tiger was playing with a torn Achilles tendon and torn Knees all last year....right?

Now that was impressive. But he's healthy now, and was healthy the last half of 2009.

[MartinBlank]

Which takes away your claim that it is one of the most difficult tournaments.

If guys are going low-----it isn't that difficult for a major.

Look at the US Open....only one golfer in the last 5 years got below -1 as a winning score---and that was Lucas Glover at Bethpage last year.

Hell, when Angel Cabrera won in 2007---he was +5.

[INVEGA MAN]

I didnt think he would be this close. he just might win it all

[MartinBlank]

But you are talking about THIS TOURNAMENT right now, right?

and he is healthy.....

Read post #20 and you have to consider all the circumstances pertaining to this come back.

[MastaB]

But you are talking about THIS TOURNAMENT right now, right? and he is healthy.....

I'm just trying to prove that injuries alone, don't justify the greatest comeback ever.

And I cant imagine he is 100% right now

The course has short par 5's, that doesn't make it an easy course. Did you see the greens? Wait till you see the hole positioning on Sunday. The pressure of this tournament under normal circumstances is enough to break the average golfer. let alone what Tiger is facing. Then consider the time he took off and how little practice he had.

You have a very narrow mind Martin

Don't forget about Jordan's 1st comeback, that should be in the top 3 best comebacks along side Ben Hogan and Lance Armstrong.

Yep. Cant forget Jordan.

[tltaylor89]

TIger should win I have 900 SBR points riding on this.

[Brock Landers]

Ben Hogan by a mile
