and withdraws.  Holy crap, has he hit bottom yet. And better yet, wiill he ever regain his old form?
I'm thinking while he'll probably win some more tournaments, Jack's Major record may be safe.

It's kinda hard to hit a golf ball with a bum knee and a bad achilles. I was wondering after he had his knee surgery a couple of years ago if he was gonna have recurring issues with it. That alone may put the brakes on his pursuit of Jack's 18 Majors.

The Achilles injury is bad enough, but if his knee is shot, he may never regain his old form.

Oh, you mean the TV booth. For a second there, I thought you were talking about those Vegas strip club booths (lol). Seriously, I know he's been in the process of changing his swing, or more specifically reducing the stress on his left knee, which provides the torque and power we have been used to seeing. He has never been the straightest driver on the tour, but his putting has gone to hell.

Yeah, cause he could easily develop arthritis in that knee and it would be extremely painful to just walk, much less play golf. I've always thought he'd bounce back from the mess he's made of his life, but now I've got serious doubts. He may be in the booth doing play by play before too long!

I knew a guy who played on the Florida mini-tour for a while trying to decide if he could cut it on the Big Tour and he said the difference in the "minor leagues" and the "big leagues" is the guys who can putt when it counts make it big. I wouldn't trust Eldrick over a 5 footer now!

It's actually more than putting. A poor tee to green puts to much presure on the putter even for a great putter. If you look back over the winners you'll find a good to great iron player who can get the ball close enough and in the right position on the green to make the putt.

As for Tiger he is probably done. Without a miricale his game is gone. Once a major injury is incurred unless handled properly your done in sports. He has had 4 operations on the knee and it's still giving him problems. After the first op he should have taken 2 yrs off for rehab.
