      Any tourney is tough to win in golf including nationwide

      Put top players on pga tour on nationwide tour they do dont dominate

      The skill level is miniscule in golf with any pro tour

          OP makes a golf thread and doesn't know that tiger only entered this tournament so he would definitely be put on the presidents cup team?

            But if Freddie Couples wants to go to Australia second-guessing his decision to put Tiger on the team, just wait if Tiger finishes mid-pack this week.

              pres.cup isnt the only reason he is playing in this event, but one of them for sure...he and duke butler(fryes open pres.) are buddies and he is probably getting a healthy appearance fee this week too... he has struggled, sure, but to not pick him for your team would be downright ignorant.

                It is hilarious that Tiger is the favorite in this tourney... I'd be surprised if he finished top 20

                  Dude, this field blows. When Spencer Levin and Kevin Na are the second-choice favorites, you have a weak field.

                  Levin
                  Na
                  P. Casey
                  Campbell
                  Crane
                  Els
                  Piercy
                  Jobe
                  Molder

                  Real solid top 10 favs there...

                      I'd guess he'll finish around 15....not as much pressure not being a full field and during football season....but yeah everyone is still afraid of him based on past ability/mental state he doesn't currently have

                        You think guys are still afraid of him ? I don't.. I think that was one of the major reasons he was so dominant in the past... guys would just wilt around him... but now they see a guy staggering, trying to get to his feet, and they are all ready to throw haymakers.

                        You have heard plenty of young guys bad mouth him and his game over the past year or two.... they arent concerned with him anymore. He is going to have to start making cuts, let alone winning, before they worry again.

                          wasn't clear on that....i meant square gamblers....no one wants to miss out on playing tiger when he wins next (IF he wins next)

                          and yea for the record 90% of the stiffs in this tourney will be starstruck by him so there is that

                            Forbes sets Tiger's brand value still at $55 million...twice as much as the next highest athlete

                            Brand Value: $55,000,000 Tiger Woods world golf ranking has fallen to No. 49, but he continues to be the top athlete brand thanks to extremely valuable deals with Nike and Electronic Arts.

                              Golf is dead without Tiger

                                Big deal you're braggin about Paul Casey and Boo Weekly as your headliners, what the **** is that like Nicklaus and Palmer to you, yea that's one hell of a field for a guy that used to only play majors and the next 9 or 10 biggest tournaments on tour.

                                For Tiger the Frys.com tournament is just outright saying he's done and will play in any shitbag tourney they'll let him in to try to notch a win and improve on his #300 or whatever world ranking

                                The PGA Tour needs to save itself by locking Tiger in a room with 10 porn stars and let him work out his problems and he'll be back on the course shooting 66 every round

                                Tiger and the PGA Tour are both dead if he keeps putting up 75 every round

                                BTW Congrats on getting Boo Weekly to play your event

                                          dont have points

                                          and definitely wouldnt bet it at even money for the favorite to be outside the top 20

                                          nice try though.

                                              for a 6-1 favorite like tiger that has been all over the place, i think even odds of top 20 is actually quite fair. he's barely favored as a matchup against spencer levin for christ's sake.

                                              thanks anyway

                                                if you think its a fair line.... then offer the opposite as well

                                                Give me Tiger in the top 20 for EVEN money, and Ill go see if I can get a loan

                                                  The fact that ppl are even discussing betting whether or not Tiger will finish top 20 at the Frys.com shows you how far he has fallen, he would have been even money to win this event 2 years ago

                                                  Tiger will probably finish top 20, but only bc this field is worse than most Senior PGA Tour tournaments

                                                    Give me Tiger in the top 20 for EVEN money, and Ill go see if I can get a loan
                                                    ok i'll do that. you get tiger top 20 (including ties), even money. 100 point minimum, 500 point maximum and i'll take 12 pts/day if you want to do 200 points or less (then i'll pay 12 pts/day as well).

                                                      Tiger is irrelevant, he doesn't matter anymore.

                                                      Who cares about a washed up golfer that isn't even top 50 ranked?

                                                        there's only 50 guys ranked ahead of tiger because of injuries. tiger still = $

                                                        if he doesn't matter and nobody cares, then why are you spending time bothering to argue that he doesn't matter in a thread about him? seems like you care enough to type about him, i don't see you typing about webb simpson...

                                                        and there wouldn't be nearly as many good young golfers if tiger didn't raise all the purses. these guys were 12 and thought "i could make a million bucks being the 100th best golfer in the world" - before tiger they wouldn't have made enough money to cover travel expenses.

                                                          Milwaukee, Tiger USED to be fukin incredible, that's why ppl talk about him still, bc 2 years ago he was the best golfer that ever lived, today he fukin blows

                                                          Who knew that the secret to golf lay in pounding 5 porn stars after each round

                                                          Tiger now officially sucks and couldnt win on the LPGA tour. Without the power he gets from ATM with countless porn stars his career is over and the only question is whether he'll make the cut in the Frys.com or not when he wouldve won it by 5 shots a couple years ago

                                                            Not arguing anything, my message on this message board is this, 'Tiger is irrelevant'

                                                            Stop without Tiger the purses wouldn't be so great, that's like saying without Jeff Gordon, the auto racing purses wouldn't be this high.

                                                            The purses would be where they are without Tiger in golf or Gordon in auto racing.

                                                            Golf is and was bigger than Tiger, Car racing is and was bigger than Jeff Gordon, not the other way around.

                                                              Sorry steve but you're wrong, Tiger was the larger than life star that brought golf media attention and with it huge $$$$, hell even when hed play like shit 80% of the TV coverage was ignoring the leaders and seeing if he would make the cut or not. Do you really think ppl give a fuk if Paul Casey beats Spencer Levin for the Frys.com tournament?

                                                              The most recognizable athlete in the world was a fuckin golfer, 95% of the guys on tour if I saw them in the grocery store I wouldnt know who the **** they were
