Woods Not Catching Nicklaus' Major Record

[Wi-Golfer]

Call me a heretic but I think Tiger still bests Jack. A move back to butch, and one last late career push. The only big if is if his body hold out.

Butch said no way is he coaching Tiger again.

I think Hank said the same thing.

Wow! Good to see you around!

It doesn't surprise me the Butch and Hank said that, publicly.

It also wouldn't surprise me if we learn sometime soon that Butch and Tiger worked it out, tiger is going back to Butch and paying him lots.

It also wouldn't surprise me if that didn't happen.

Any predictions on when he will play again? My guess is February 2015.

He has said it will be at his tournament in December. His World Challenge.

I didn't hear that. I think that's way too early for him to come back and play at any competitive level

Tiger to take time off to rest back | TigerWoods.com

"I plan to return to competition at my World Challenge tournament at Isleworth in Orlando, Florida, Dec. 1-7. It's an event that's important to me and my foundation, and it will be exciting to be playing again."

By the way, he'll have a new piece of equipment in the bag.

This is a pretty low key tournament though, he may just use it as a gauge to where he is.

He could just look in the dictionary under "has been"....

His winning was through the team of his old caddy, his dad, and Butch Harmon. I don't know why he and Steve parted ways. Now he is also trying to reinvent his swing. He lost his short game. I think he has lost his fan base, too. He was too cocky and he deserves to be put back into his place. A bunch of kids waited for him to sign autographs and meet him at the Masters, my daughter and niece amongst them. He walked right by all of the kids, and spoke to the adults, not even acknowledging the kids.

Best to just save his back and forget his chances of beating Jack's records. Second best is good enough. He's washed up.

I think we will see one more good run from tiger. Keep in mind over the last 5 Years, this "has been" has the most wins on tour- I think that's the stat I heard the other day and even I was surprised.

The truth is, and nobody likes to hear it, is that the tour and golf on tv need tiger playing well. Otherwise ratings drop. Rory is phenomenal, but not the draw that tiger is.

As for the autographs, that sucks. He's not the first pro we've heard ugly things about. There are a bunch of threads about Bubba Watson and others.

Shooter McGavin too!
