I don't like Johnny Miller and all the rest of those talking heads. Miller has something like 7 wins on the tour compared with Tiger's 70+ so the only person I am going to take advice from is Tiger Woods. As for loss of sponsors, Tiger was never in any danger of losing all his sponsors or any sponsor that mattered. The sponsors that provided most of the money stayed and he has basically already replaced the ones he has lost. People liked to gauge how far he was falling by the amount of sponsors he lost, but now that he has regained the sponsors and may have even surpassed the the previous numbers, you are hearing nothing about it except in certain circles.

I don't think Tiger ever be the same as the Media brought him down

mentally and financially.

Instead of enjoying a LEGEND, and letting his fans enjoy him

they broke him down.

Wow.....where are you coming from?  Tiger is still a legend in golf!!  Even if he does not surpass Jack's record, he is right in there!!  Sure the media took his infidelity and ran with it....but I don't think either mentally or financially they have caused Tiger to fail.  In fact.....Tiger has NOT failed!

Now that Tiger has his divorce behind him, is once again healthy physically, and his new swing is routine we are going to see something truly special in 2012 as he regains his mojo on course ;-))

kuki,

i know it hurts to think about what Tiger went thru.

but he has come out on the other side a winner!!

and we now know because of all the changes in his

life, he had  many things going on that we were not

aware of at the time.


of course his marriage/divorce are private matters.


but regarding his game, many people who know the

game and who know Tiger, knew something was

wrong years ago, but just did not know what it was.


then he revealed that he had been struggling with pain

since '97!  imagine that!  since 1997!!!

and though he continued to win all those years, it got

to a point where he was putting stress on his body

to get the job done and some of his chronic injuries

worsened.    BUT HE WAS STILL WINNING!!!!

....... because he is a phenomenal golfer!    :-)


and of course we all love to watch Tiger play golf.

but he knew better than anyone else, that he was

going to have to do something in order to prolong

his playing career.  and this year, he wisely, took

the time off to get healthy.  


regarding the commentators, i do not know all of the

types of things they were saying, because i honestly

did not watch a lot about it, nor did i read a lot about it.

so if johnny miller spoke about it too much, then

shame on him for doing so.   and hopefully he has

learned his lesson.   i hope so.  it took me a while

to get to like johnny miller.   :-)


now.   some of these people may have tried to break

Tiger down.............  but that has not happened. 

he has secret powers that they do not know about.   ;-)

just kidding.  


but.   i agree with you.  i don't think Tiger will ever be

the same either.    NO WAY!!!   and personally i would

not want him to be the same.  and guess what.  yall

don't know about the wrong stuff i have done, but i don't

want to stay  the same either.   i want to be changing for

the better every day.  and i hope Tiger does too.  and i

hope we all want to change for the better also.  :-)


i think Tiger will only be better!!!!   


there are consequences in life for incorrect behaviors..............for all of us.  

and what goes around comes back around ...............for all of us.  

and some of these die hard haters will find  that out soon enough
.


but i think Tiger will be the first to say that his own 

hand caused his own trouble.   and he has suffered

some consequences because of it.  

but when any of us make a genuine and continuous effort to

change for the better,  then things can begin to change for us.

and  i truly think that Tiger is working on being better

not only at golf, but also at life.   he actually has said so

many times now and i believe him.  i think he is on the

right track.

so again.   we agree.   he will never be the same.

he will only be better!!!!

i myself want to change for the better too.

and i hope you and everyone reading this has a desire

to change for the better too.  :-)

cheer up, kuki.  i know you care about Tiger.

and i believe THE BEST  is yet to come.  

:-)

Tiger will be just fine, mentally and financially. He has already recovered financially, the mental problem is coming along just fine.

Who is Johnny Miller???

Well I researched and this is what I learned.....perhaps you will all have a little more respect for this man!!

Turned pro in 1969 and remained active until early 90's when he "retired" due to knee problems and putting "yips".  While on tour:  He won 2 majors (US Open '73 and Open '76), he has a total of 25 PGA Tour wins and 32 world wide wins plus 105 top 10's.  He played on two Ryder Cup teams, was money leader in 1974 following a season that saw him win 8 times!!  He is in the Hall of Fame (1998), designs golf courses and has been with NBC Sports as lead golf analyst since 1990.  During his golf career he played with such greats as Jack Nicklaus, Payne Stewart, Tom Watson, John Cook, Mark O'Meara and Seve Ballesteros!!

Is he a "failed" golfer who's comments mean nothing?  I surely don't think so!!

Miller is a pain in the fundamental orifice .But he does know a bit about golf.

Johnny miller was a very competitve golfer and had a lot of raw talent.

Maybe he is a tad jealous as he wishes he could have kept it going for more than a few years near the top.

However as an analyst he is intriguing & knowledgeable and is entitled to his opinion.

He calls things as they are and in fact on many occassions has pointed out that Tiger is still

dangerous and he would not doubt it if he made it back to the top.

If you want "homer" announcer fan than tune into the Yankees radio announcer who will tell you every starter is the greatest player out there..I want NON politically correct commentary!
