Tiger Woods - The Rise & Fall

[dragondick]

I just watched a special documentary with the above title, produced by "The Passionate Eye".

It's a documentary about the double life which Tiger has been living - a sex machine at night & the most talented golfer during the day, leading to the car crash & divorce, & ends with a allegation that Tiger fathered a 9 yr. old son.

Wow, what a documentary! It is more damaging to the "Tiger Brand" than the reported extra-marital affairs.

I am sure it will be repeated. Watch out for it.

I saw it too, it was very enlightfull on Tigers women

Just my humble opinion, but I think that Tigers secret sex life was what motivated him on the golf course. Knowing that he had a hot little sex kitten waiting in the hotel for him after the round helped maintain that drive.

Once this motivator was gone, his performance tailed off.

I think we will see flashes of his old golf form, but that level of intensity he had pre-crash is gone forever.

Interesting behind the scenes documentary. The National Enquirer were the first to get the "goods" on him. No hint of any drug scandal though.

BTW: The Tiger never DATY.

1. Tiger is now divorced. He could return to his sexual explorations without having to worry about paying hundreds of millions for his "hole in one" endeavours.

Image is a different issue. After the airing of this documentary, whatever role model image he has left is finished.

Anyway, golf is very much a mental game, once Tigers settles down after the mental trauma, I think he will go back to his winning ways.

2. If we want to play better golf, & if we have "pussy in waiting", you think we can turn pro? ;-)

Foooooooooooooooooooore!

Balancing love boxes and golf does not work for me but there is only one Tiger, love or hate him.

Tiger is now 35. Are his best golf years behind him?

 

[maurice93]

His best years are certainly behind him, but I think he will still be the best in the game at some point.

Consider that the other two top players of this modern generation, Mickelson and Singh, had their best years after 35.

But their best years before age 35 are pale compared to Tiger's best years before age 35.

Tiger will not be anywhere near as good as his peak years (2000 and 2001) or his other dominant seasons, but I am using those two to show that Tiger probably still has alot of good golf left in his career.

Great and insightful documentary. Tiger has fallen far below his previous high point at the top of the golf world and making billions in commercial endorsements.

However, since the fall of Tiger, looking at the major championships, he has finished here:

Masters Tied for 4th
US Open Tied for 4th
British Open Tied for 23rd
PGA Champioinship Tied for 28th

Quiz: Name all the golfers who finished in the top 30 in all 4 majors this year.


2010 has obviously not been a good year for Tiger, personally or professionally. Apart from the emotional drain and the intense pressure he is under, I have seen it written that just sorting out his personal life and staying connected to his kids, he has not had enough time to practice his game.

I expect better things from him next year. That being said, I also think his best years are behind him and he will never dominate the sport as he once did.

Answer to quiz above - Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the list is as follows:
Tiger Woods

When is he eligible for the golf seniors tour? I heard that it is age 35 in tennis so you have 35 year olds beating up on 50 year olds.

 

[bowser]

Forget the Senior Tour, Tiger's on the prowl and will surpass The Bear for the most majors!

Tiger had a major swing flaw w Hank Haney (too much dipping) that Sean Foley will cure, producing a much more solid, repeatable , trust-able (if that is a word) swing. Watch out- i predict and will bet his best is ahead of him. The good news is that there are a lot of guys who can compete w him, who are less intimidated by him and that bodes well for the game

That was actually pretty good.

It was on CBC tonight and will be on again Sunday night. Should be available on CBC's The passionate eye web site free to view.

If what the tabloid editor said at the end is true, I'd be very interested to know how much dough the TW team is still throwing to muff the rest of his shit. I don't think all his shit has hit the ceiling fan yet.

Tiger has been brutal so far in the Ryder Cup....I'm sure Cory Pavin is regretting giving in to outside pressures and making him a captain's pick. Tiger will never win another major. Soon , he will give up golf, and be known as the largest fall from grace in sports history

BTW: The Tiger never DATY.

Saw the documentary tonight - the "madam" said Tiger was only interested in his own pleasure, could put out all night, with 10 minute breaks in between - probably never DATY'ed Elin either .

Not to sure what Tiger saw in the waitress from the pancake joint in Orlando, not very hot at all ...
