I Thought Tiger Was In Great Physical Shape ?
If Tiger’s such a great physical specimen, how in the hell do you get “mentally and physically drained” from playing golf 4 days a week ?
Most of us work like sled dogs for 5-6 days a week and then play golf all weekend and we’re not supposed great physical specimens, like he’s supposed to be.
We have construction workers, in my industry, who work 6 days a week for 8 to 12 hours a day, in the same heat and they don’t get the option to take a week to rejuvenate and make the push to work hard the following week.
I thought this was supposed to be the playoffs ? In all the playoffs I’ve ever seen, if you don’t win every week, you get eliminated. I think the PGA Tour should make it mandatory to play every week of the playoffs or you’re out.
Afterall, he’s in great shape isn’t he ? Can he not work 4 days for 4 hours a day ?
Maybe this was a setup all along. Just maybe Timmy F. set it up that the Barclay’s, which is at a venue that El Tigre sucks at, was the first leg of the playoff.
That way, Tiger gets a week off, to rest up from his working 4 days playing golf for 2 weeks in a row, and dodges this venue and doesn’t have it as the last leg of the playoffs, which would almost guarantee he wouldn’t win.
Smells kind of fishy doesn’t it ? Tigergate ! That’s what this is.
If there’s justice in the Universe, Tiger won’t win the FedEx Cup and Timmy F. will cry his wittle eyes out.
Oh, by the way, this was just written for entertainment purposes and as link bait. Don’t get all psycho and start cryin’ and whinin’ in the comments section. I know Tiger deserves a week off and yes, he’ll win the FedEx Cup because he’s the best golfer in the world, right now.
EDIT - I’m not the only one who’s disappointed with Tiger’s no-show -

EDIT #2 - Looks like Tiger felt pretty spry after all -

I think the whole point system is pretty screwy as is. Give us a real elimination playoff. I want to see a real putt for 10 million.
Many people work hard, but most do not suffer the cruelties Iditarod dogs are forced to endure. What happens to the dogs during the Iditarod includes: death, paralysis, penile frostbite, bleeding ulcers, bloody diarrhea, lung damage, pneumonia, ruptured discs, viral diseases, broken bones, torn muscles and tendons, vomiting, hypothermia, sprains, fur loss, broken teeth, torn footpads and anemia.

I’m with you Sean. The PGA Tour is boring a lot of times.
Thanks Margery. That REALLY added to our conversation.
