Tiger will shock in 2026 and win again 🐅🐅🐅😅😅😅
Just like their are people who are professional students, Tiger is a professional patient. Its mind boggling how many times he's been under the knife. Smh
Tiger should become the next PGA Tour Commissioner! Or the Chair of the OWGRs.
Tiger is done, great career nothing to prove, have fun mate
What’s next… retirement
Tiger's greatest impact should/could now come in the boardroom.
What upside is there to getting tournament fit again and risking further injury? a replaced disk is not a minor procedure.
First of all, I like these podcasts and I miss watching golf every week. However, please don't yell, HELLO AND WELCOME! at the beginning. Also, please let Rex talk more. It seems like this is only the Lav podcast with a few comments from Rex only when Lav remembers that he has been talking for five straight minutes. lol
Tiger will do what he’s been doing for 10 years. Not playing any competitive golf while hoping his son makes the tour.
Cheaters in life get their due.
Thanks for keeping me company while I cut the grass
It feels like the superstars are using LIV to not admit they are scared of the Korn Ferry grads and the rank in file players coming out of the gate in the fall gaining points. The superstars only care March-August. They dont mind showing up in the fall, as long as everybody else gets NO points. They want it feels like the tour to STOP. Xander also quietly become a first time dad thats why his year was basically a wash. What is funny is that they want the fall off but with the silly events and TGL they wont get much of a fall off. They may get a little bit of a mini vacation if the Sentry isnt played next year which could screw Hawaii cause a good chunk of them will go over and play Sony.
The man the myth the legend tiger woods golf career is over as a competitive player, maybe he could tee it up on the campions tour in the future if his physical health drastically improved but I honestly don’t think his body can withstand the torq of a golf swing without excruciating pain… and I honestly don’t enjoy watching the once great man hobble around the course in pain
Rory coming to Australia he's been here before but these guys have no clue he has won the Australian Open and competing in a few times🎉🎉🎉
Once that nerve is relieved of pressure wih a new disc AND he's pain free? Holding him back is likely the doctor's concern.
Tiger was and is the best
The days of the PGA Tour and the golf channel trying to sell the PGA tour through Tiger Woods is long over. Get off that bandwagon.
42% of the top 100 players on the PGA Tour are not from the U.S. and the LPGA has players from 40 different countries. Golf is truly a global game.
it's dark times for Tiger. the old can't do what the young can and it extends to every aspect of physical effort. as a professional athlete that can't go, it cuts much deeper and depression is commonly part of the recovery too. old machines break.
Tiger is doing this to keep out of a WHEELCHAIR , Tiger is finished playing the PGA Tour
An episode? Tiger is more like a whole season or more for "House."
Every current player on the Senior/Champions Tour is praying Tiger will play that tour. Instant upgrade in visibility, media ratings, and purses. And if he is playing like the real Tiger Woods, so much better. The economic model for the last 30 years of golf is that if Tiger is dominating, every other player on the tour he is playing makes more money.
Do your research boys… Rory HAS been to Australia before. He played in the Aus Open in Sydney, I saw him with my own eyes. Kudos to Rory for going outside the box, PGAT is getting stale recycling the same schedule year in year out. I have personally taken more interest in the DPWT the past few years. Rolex Series events leave the Signature events in the dust. On DPWT there is more variety of courses, more national opens, more countries visited. Take note Brian…
Can't believe you can be so naive to think Tigers recovery might take only 6-8 weeks it's very unlikely you will see him swing a club in public ever again stop dreaming
I just stopped listening when the grill talk started
