Tiger Hoping to Play the Masters

[Villanova U]

Just got an alert that he hopes to be ready to go for Augusta. How much longer is this charade going to continue? He's already come back and abruptly quit on what, 8 tournaments over the last 3 years? At what point are people going to just stop caring and move on?

people always hold out hope for an athlete to regain his form from his prime. its why people went to see Jordan when he was on the Wizards. Tiger is in a bad spot. he has major injuries and has lost his swing and confidence. But golf fans still hold out hope that he can come back to win a few more majors on the tour. Im not sure if thats possible at this point after the injuries.

Jack won in 80 and then again once more in 86. Tiger won last in 08, can he win a major in 15 or beyond? time will tell.

He needs to loose weight, he looks too heavy. take some pressure of the back and knees. and go from there. the bulk look (not fat look like Phil) doesnt work in golf.

ill be the first to say when it comes to the golf swing and tigers game i have no clue what will help. i just think its his body thats the issue , not the swing.

not comparing myself to any elite or pro athlete, but when i was playing hoops in college (div II) and after college for about 6-7 years I was in the best shape of my life. weighed 180 and am 6'2" then i had a few injuries as i aged. now i am a shell of myself and cant even play cause of my knees. point is once you get hurt and are outside your prime its hard to recover from the injury and get your game back the way it was or even close to that. thats what i have my doubts tiger will ever recover to compete on tour again. the back is to golfers as the knees are to basketball players. once it , they go, youre done.
