I'm sure Tiger will win more majors he is only 36 . Phil has won 2 majors since he was 36 so the window is still open. I will also say the best thing that can happen to the PGA is when the next phenom enters the guy who can take that lead role as Hogan, Palmer, Jack and Tiger did. In the 80 you had some good players but the PGA was lacking that 1 great figure and that did not change until Tiger stepped on the stage.

Payne Stewart was that guy... 24 victories... three majors... perrenial contender and a crowd favorite...

Not as big as those other guys, but an definite icon in the game...

He was very good he was not of the level of Hogan, Palmer, Jack. There were many good golfers and Payne was one of them but not to the same status and it is those once in a blue moon players who capture the attention and bring in the masses. I liked Payne not saying anything bad about him but for much of that time as Jack game was gone there was no one to pick up the torch until Tiger came

Tiger made a mistake in his personal life I have seen nothing from him to take the grief he does.

Having a couple drinks and doing something with a woman that you regret the next morning is "a mistake." What Tiger did goes quite a bit beyond that.

He was one of my favorites too. I miss seeing him.

You are right and that is between a husband and a wife not me. Tiger has paid the price but as far as I'm concerned my only interest in Tiger is his play on the golf course.

If all you want to do is talk about what he does on the course, that's 100% your right. But I have no problem talking about what he does off the golf course and judging him accordingly.

I was going to post some of Tiger's texts here to further support my claim but fact of the matter is that if I did that then I would be violating the forum's rules against posting inappropriate, explicit material.
