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!

Why is it so difficult to accept that there might be other golfers out there just as skilled as our Tiger. I admit our Tiger is the best, but there are others who play well, too. Even Johnny Miller. Some of them even have great personalities as well. Our Tiger is not always a candidate for Miss (Mr.) Congeniality. He does his best though. He does have a gorgeous smile and many other attributes we admire, but he is not perfect.

Exactly!!!  Miller can be rather blunt and can let some pretty stupid words escape his tongue.  But he does know golf....he has felt victory and defeat as well as injury.  Sometimes I feel posters here just take everything the media says as pure attack on Tiger.  Hey....he's not the only golfer out there!  While we feel he IS golf....there are some excellent challengers waiting to win a tourney taking Tiger by 1, 2, 3 shots.  After all....Tiger only wins about 1/3 of the tournaments he enters.  2012 is going to be one exciting year ;-)) 

It is what it is!  Life is good!!  And life with Tiger winning is even better!!!

Excellent research. Well done. The man knows his game and that is why when Tiger returns to true form( minus the attitude), Johnny Miller will be the first to say he is the best ever! That will mean a lot especially saying it on a NBC telecast to millions of viewers!

I have nothing against Jonny miller, he gets paid to improve ratings.  Whether he knows what he is talking about is moot, he was hired to be an antagonist.  Tiger has some things to prove before we can all proclaim he is the best ever.  I think in time he will prove it, and it will be fun to watch him take those steps. 

yes he has 2 majors the same as john daly.  and one more than Rory.

Beginning with the Aussie Open, Miller began his "the greatest golfer ever" comments re Tiger.  I truly believe he has always respected Tiger's talent and believe he wants to see Tiger exceed Jack's record.  Yes, hee was highly critical of Tiger's behavior as it was in direct opposition to his own moral code and also of his latest quest to change his swing.  But I respect his knowledge of golf and appreciate his "dry humor" during commentary.
