In order for Tiger to win again he needs to play around 10 times a year. He can't do it playing majors only. If he got healthy enough to do that he could get a couple more. I think its highly unlikely he'll ever be healthy enough to do that.

It’s not about his confidence or lack of playing enough … it’s the fact his back and leg are essentially bionic now and it’s hard to walk 18 4 days in a row

I'm a big Tiger fan, but at the moment I don't think he'd win a seniors event never mind a Major 😔

A guy like that will never quit. Can’t quit. It’s his whole identity. The man doesn’t play for fun he plays to win. He just needs to get off to a good start in a major in the first round which will lift him and make him believe in himself . The pain won’t hold him back if he gets some positive momentum going forward, he will fight through it for victory

Look at Tigers results in 23/24.. even in his own tournament (hero challenge) he came 18 out of 20, 20 shots behind the winner.. the last two masters he is +15 over par . Does Tiger still have a golf game?, absolutely, does he have the physical stamina due to injuries, unfortunately not. You cannot get more rounds or reps if after 2 rounds youre struggling with walking. I think he should still play and accept invites to tournaments but expectations as fans now should be he is there to boost viewer ratings, crowds and to see an odd glimpse of the magic which dominated golf for so long.

Tiger will be 50 in a couple of years. He'll go to the Champions Tour and do well there. Riding in a cart, three day tournaments, no cut line, shorter courses, and playing with guys he played with in his heyday. His days of dominating the PGA Tour are in the rear view mirror now.

it's over

I hope he carries on for many years to come - but purely for his own satisfaction and enjoyment! (If he's able to take satisfaction and enjoyment from playing, knowing he isn't going to be a challenger at the top of the leaderboard). He's given enough to others and to the sport, now he's earned the right to play two rounds of golf a year at Augusta in his old red t-shirt for old times' sake, he's earned the right to take it easy, to sit back and lap up the adulation that he deserves. His presence as a winner isn't important any more. His presence is enough.

Tiger needs to go to the championship tour, have a cart play competition rounds and come back for the majors.

I love Tiger, I am 48 years old, I grew up Golf wise, with Tiger dominating. And I am his biggest fan. But I have to agree with Guy, he's done! And why wouldn't he? He has wrecked his body all over again. It's enough for me he'll be the goat no matter what!

Next year will be the true barometer for Tiger. This year is just for him to see IF he can play at all- and he is. Next year will be when he’s amping up to put his body thru a long season again.

I remember having that feeling about Faldo in 1997, when he missed the cut at the Masters, after winning the year previous. He was the golfer I idolised, and to see him struggle in 97, as Tiger made history was a tough pill to swallow. We are seeing the same with Tiger now, as the likes of Scheffle dominate

Woods doesn't play enough competitive golf anywhere near often enough to contend for winning championships, and his various injuries won't let him practice or play often enough to stay sharp at an elite level. His car crash that shattered his leg effectively put the final nail in the coffin of his playing career, although he may later experience some success against the old-timers on the senior Champions Tour if driving power carts is still allowed by then, or if he can get through walking three rounds if he chooses not to use one. He is mostly a brand name at this point.

He's not winning any PGA Tour event right now if he's not playing competitive rounds. I'm pretty sure he doesn't actually expect himself to win any major he enters. He's in the phase Jack was in at the end of his playing career where he's just playing for himself, for the fans. Jack's best finish after 1986 was a T7, 6 and T6 at the Masters. Tiger can play majors just because he wants to, without any expectation of doing well. I would also say to Guy's point about golf being worse when he's gone ... Tiger's impact on the game made it clear he was going to leave it in a better place because all the top guys now grew up learning from him, and the game has grown so much in the last 25 years.

Tigers short game is still scary

That thumbnail pic...smh. As Charles Barkley would say, "Come on home, Tiger." 😂😂

I think he could win again, but only at Augusta or the open, pga and uspga no chance down to course layout/setup. It was never going to be this year in my opinion this year is a test of his body well leg. If he gets through this year and does more and more work on the leg he might well play a couple more tourneys next year and the majors and thats when we will see if hes good enough still.

Golf game is there. Mental is there. Just lack of being able to play competitive and the physical demand need to all matchup. There’s one more in there. Just everything needs to come together

Tiger’s run at the top of golf was magnificent. He completely dominated golf from 1997 to 2009. Even after the back surgeries and personal issues he managed to get three more wins. But that’s where it stops in my opinion. His legs are completely ruined. He’s also playing less than 10 events per year. To be in with a chance at winning you have to be playing regularly and keeping fit. The guys at the top now are leagues apart from where he is. He still sits alone with Jack at the top though 🐐🐐

Win or not win but should still be able to compete if he can maintain his ranking, I see some people say he should of retired after 2019 win but why, if it’s a job you enjoy it play until you can’t no more, as long as tournaments give him no special treatment or allow him to qualify without making the cut then more power to you.

I have mad respect for the amount of effort Tiger is putting in to try and get back. But it’s also his own fault that his body has let him down. He’s caused a lot of these problems to himself. I’d love nothing more than to see him back and at least contending. The people that didn’t grow up watching him win all the time must wonder how he won so much looking at him now.

Rory hasn't won a major since he was 25 years old. He's 35 now. Think about that. One of the better players in the world in the last decade yet he hasn't won a major. It isn't an easy thing to do. Can Tiger do it again? Maybe but not likely.

It sounds like he is going to try and play more next season and he said it he just needs to play more. If he can get to a point where he can play more I think he can put some more wins, but if he just plays the majors even if his body gets a little better he will be too rusty to make it happen in the majors.

From what i understand is he could win it again if he played the tour for a bit before a major because he needs some consinstent competitive play...but his body isnt up to playing consistently like that atm so as much as i would love to see him win again as hes a huge part of why i watch golf i dont think he can do it because his body wont allow him to do what he needs to do to get back to that level...and as far as i know he said if he cant win he wont turn up just to make up the numbers so i think retirement is iminent

If Tiger can play the senior tour for 2 weeks to tune up before the masters or pga, he’ll always have a chance. He strikes the ball incredibly well and he still drives it well within tour avgs. It’s about time getting the short game dialed in for competitive golf and playing a couple practice and scouting rounds isn’t enough. Tiger Woods doesn’t bogey a par 5. This Tiger who doesn’t have the physical ability to walk a golf course every week for a month straight, does bogey par 5s. Just a matter of getting the right training in.

Love Tiger he’s my goat! If he steps back I would completely respect it! I will always enjoy what he did for golf! I really want Fowler to get back in the winners circle

It is very hard for anyone to win on the PGA tour. Tiger has a very few years left. If he golfs 5 events a year, he has about 25 events before he is statistically over. So, I think it is unlikely he will win again. But look at the people he beat in the Masters for instance. Hovland, Speith, Thomas, Rose, Johnson, and Woodland. Are they over too? It is possible, although statistically unlikely.

I'm somewhat with Rick on this one, I think tiger's winning days are long gone but at the same time he hasn't been able to play frequently enough to really tell. Golf is an absolute mad game, I'd say it's near impossible then again It seemed impossible in 2019 as well. All in all golf is in a better place when he's playing I'll enjoy the ride no matter how it goes

I think it’s over for him, he’s never going to do a Ben Hogan and come back after a horrific car crash and with todays players it’s too competitive for him and e doesn’t play enough golf anymore. He’s still the best player I’ve seen in my era of golf for sure and I thank him for what he has done for the game of golf in the last 25+ years.

Many people are under the impression that Tiger is still healing, and that once his leg has totally healed he'll be more competitive. But it's been over two years since his accident and that leg is as good as it's going to get. Meanwhile he has back issues and the other effects of aging to deal with. You have to walk about 30 miles in a week when playing a tournament, and walking on that leg is painful. That's why Tiger's scores tend to be near or under par in the first two rounds and then +3 or higher in the subsequent rounds. Tiger Woods is impaired. It's a permanent condition. The chances of him winning another tournament are slim to none, especially a major.

Want to see Faldo come back make the cut! 😀

Tiger is forever a legend. Everything he does now is gravy. Im ready for when Charlie becomes an adult.

Well, I agree with all these post say’n it's over! But damn if anyone can it'll be him. Gotta love him

Talent wise he can win. Physically I don't think he can go any more. His leg is giving him constant pain and that has to figure into the equation.

I think it’s not right to say give up, if it was any pro, they would play as long as possible, not even for the winning but cause they love it 🤷🏻‍♂️ probably also to see how well they hold up.

If he continues to only play a couple times a year he won’t. He has to play more and get in shape because he’s clearly out of shape. But I believe if he took it seriously again he can win. If he doesn’t take it serious he won’t win

I think he could pull off another Masters win.

Nicklaus was 46 and in good shape when he won his last major. Tiger is 48 and his body is beat to heck. His only hope of any semblance of victory would be on the Senior PGA. And that's another 2 years away. It takes reps to win and his body can't withstand those. Pride is always the enemy.

It was rainy as fuck and cold in the last few Majors that he didn't make the cut in. His body won't be feeling great in those conditions compared to the young guns where rain is just a nuisance. If we get to see clear warmer weather Majors, I have no doubt he will do heaps better and contend, we see he had the length and the shots.

I don’t think he’ll win another, but I do think he’ll get into contention in one more major. I just don’t believe he can put 4 good enough rounds together to win anymore. But, he’s got one more unbelievable moment left in him.

He's done. Wait for the senior tour!

I wrote him off in 2018, never thought he'd win again. Then he came back and won the Masters. BUT! This time, his body is broken, its not the same. That crash at the Genesis did him in. I don't think he comes back from this.

At the end of the day its Tiger Woods we are talking about here.. Just having the chance to watch him play again is a blessing in itself, whether he plays well or bad it dont matter, its Tiger Woods...

I really want to say he can’t but you can’t count tiger out

Imagine how big it would be if he somehow got himself in contention going into Sunday at the us open or the open

The bad results and watching him struggle walking is tough. I don’t think he has it in him anymore. The field is too strong now.

He CAN win, but he wont unless he can practice and play...2019 when he was playing great, he was doing the right things...he simply cant handle it now

He might be able to win a tournament that turned into a chess match where distance is not a factor. A firm and fast British open might be a chance

I like to look at this from another angle. Imagine you are Tiger. How do you decide when to hang it up? Obviously I am not him and not in his body to feel physically how well or bad he truly feels, but I think mental wise I would not be ready to retire if I was him. I'd give myself until 50 years old. He's 48 now so basically 2 more seasons. Make that last season your farewell tour and walk away. But I believe if he keeps healthy, he will improve. I don't know if a win is there, but he can compete with more reps

Tiger just need to shave it all off

He has no chance and the reason is these guys are 15-20 years younger with complete golf games and it's his fault because he inspired every single one of them.

I don’t think he can win, but do we need him to win? If Tiger can put a good tournament together and reach the top 10 is that enough? I think he is still good for golf, but only if he isn’t missing cuts. Tiger will be the first to bow out if he thinks he can’t win..or is his natural talent and self belief now turned into dilution? Only time will tell….

I’m afraid it is. He’s the reason I and many people play this great game but his body just can’t let him perform

I have the opposite view when tiger misses the cut I enjoy it means I can actually watch golf and not every shot of tiger

I want to believe he can if he plays Competitively. His practice rounds sound like he’s flushing it and shooting low, but come game time he’s not got the reps.

He's never out. Go Tiger,,

TBH, I actually forgot he was even playing at the weekend. He’s more than earned the right to play but he’s just not the draw he once was.

Tiger's key issue is walking for 4 rounds of golf. He does not need to win, just to perform well overall and be competitive.

The correct question is - what can he do better than the current top players??? The only we he can win another major is to outplay the current top players. Do you see that happening? That's your answer.

The guy is limping way too much after about 24 holes that it's impossible for him to keep going till he can get that ancle freely at forward angle carrying his weight ... I've been dealing with ancle injury for years and now finally figured out exactly what's off and why i can't balance my swing ... so i KNOW he can do it too ....

You have to consider 1 more injury and he will surely be done, especially if he is not getting top 10 finishes before another injury :(

Absolutely finished Will struggle to make the cut in any tournament Can’t even walk properly

He needs to play more events to get into tour shape. If he just plays the majors He won’t do much except the occasional good round

I would prefer if tiger would just retire now. The attention he gets at majors is way out of proportion to his abilities, and he is taking attention away from the current up and coming stars. I'm tired of hearing about his injuries. He brought them on himself with his gym and military obsessions, and crashing a car doped out of his mind didn't help either.

His health is the answer to this question.

I'm worried about him. If he can control his medication I think he can come back in a few years but I think that's another battle he has to win that people aren't talking about. He looks like/is behaving like he's overdoing opioids again.

I will never give up the hope, but to be honest, I dont think its going to happen

Have to agree with Guy on this I just don’t care either play the tour or step away and give a young lad a chance to make it

Rick is trying to be polite. It’s over though Rick.

The real sign that Tiger is done is if he can’t beat Rick in the 10-shot challenge. Literally everyone with their name on their bag has done so! 😂

I would rather see him retire, than struggle the way he has been!

I agree with Guy, I didn’t even realise that he was in the PGA - he doesn’t play enough golf to get match fit and his body can’t take that much golf ……

It’s over , he will win on the senior tour. Ron but he can’t ply enough now to compete. That wreck sucks because he was back FR.

He can definitely still play to a very high level. But he can't play enough golf to compete and get that tournament sharpness. It's impossible to just turn up to Majors and expect to win or even make the cut. Not even Tiger can do that.

Has he played 4 rounds in a tournament this year?

Well, in 2018, lots of people said he wouldn't. Then 2019 happened. Chances are definitely getting lower but he's not playing enough to keep himself sharp enough. That's his issue. Time is against him and his playtime needs to be higher, but his body is pushing back.

His right leg won’t let him do it… the more he walks and flexes the right ankle the more he aggravates it and causes him less and less stability when he tries to swing a club

That’s like saying everyone who did worse than Tiger has no future.

I love Tiger. But it’s over. I don’t see him even sniffing winning a PGA Tour event (where all the main guys play) ever again. Really hope I’m wrong bc I’d love to see it.

Why is tiger not playing on the same tournament as Harrington?

If injuries did not exist. Tiger would still be top 10. But life's life and we can't change such stuff.

Guy you speak blasphemy. Hahahh. I like you both love Tiger Woods. I am on the fence on this one. I think he might have one more in him but at the same time I am tired of seeing him not make the cut or come in last place. I guess time will tell how he will finish his amazing career. Love the podcast.

Needs activity. I believe in him winning again

I dont understand why people post. He has to play a lot more tournaments. BRILLIANT. He cant. His body wont let him. He well never win again unless the senior tour.

Injuries and Father Time have spoken. He's done.

If he wants it enough he will do what he needs to do to win again. He may have other things that are more important in his life

He's gotta play at least 1 tournament a month moving forward. He can't take 2 months off between each major.

That car crash finished him. It's sad to see

He will ride a cart in Sr Tour and dominate for a few years …..regular tour he will be lucky to make a cut…..amazing Taylor Made even pays him to be a sponsor …Nike was smart to but the cord…maybe he can win one of his Simulated Golf league events…

Unfortunately, I think the best you could hope for would be a top 25 finish. He just isn’t the same, not even close to his 2018-19 self. Guys on tour are just better than he is and younger.

He's only playing majors and not even all of them. He's just trying to beat Jack's record. If he had already beaten that record, he'd have retired a long time ago. He's made 1 cut in the past 5 majors that he's played in and the cut he made, he came in dead last in the final score.

I don't recall Bear Nicklaus or Shark Norman or Walrus Stadler ever going on a trophy. so by using T Woods the powers that be have cheapened and demeaned every single trophy that it has ever been applied to. Shame on everyone involved.

if he could ride a cart and not have to walk....strong chance.....he has to walk four rounds to win though so yeah its over at this point

Let’s let this subject go, it’s over. I am Not even convinced he will win on the senior tour. He would have a hard time with fat Perez at this point. No amount of reps will help at this point. When you sell your sole you have to eventually pay it back. When Tiger and Nike parted ways, that was it. Now Tiger trying to live through Charlie. Sorry Charlie is going to be a nice player in school. Most likely that’s as far as he will go.,

It's over... but it's been over for years now. John Daly has outlasted Eldredge.

I think he can win another major but must play more. The key is to win two majors and then eventually retire as an older player after a equal record of 18.

I feel like he will win another major. BUT he needs to change his game, he's gotta take out some of the shots in his bag, and he's gotta play probably more forgiving clubs. L ook at scotty, he changed up his putter and it worked for him. I think tiger just needs to accept he's older and with a change he's going to win another one.

He don’t play enough simple as that

You can’t dispute what tiger has done and done for golf. However I think the issue with him playing and playing the golf he is at the moment is the media coverage he gets. He gets coverage as if he’s in contention every time. that’s where I think it’s getting frustrating watching golf. He could still win. However give him the coverage his place in the tournament is dictating.

It's over for sure.
