I think the playoff starts at noon EST tomorrow. 12-2 on ESPN and NBC for the rest of the playoff.
I think you find few who dislike Tiger--or dispute he is head and shoulders above current golfers.
The question was about Dr's giving green light to play--so apparently knee is healed. Am sure there is some discomfort but have seen numerous players play following same surgery and yet to see another carry on like Tiger--and annoucers continued rant on Tigers great thresh hold to pain doesn't help matters as he goes though his Michele Wie routine.
on Tiger in general--I certainly like him as a player and person.
Being a golf traditionalist, my only dis on him is his end zone theatrics. I much prefer the demeanor of the past champions in victory--.
Don't know whether it just signs of time or Tiger factor--but same characteristics have carried over to the fans--was time not long ago--these (you da man--get in the hole) exibitionists--would have been no where to be seen--now with exception of Europe and Masters here (more tradionalist)--they are common place.
Hate to see any transition away from the traditional atmosphere of the past--but just my opinion.

I agree with pretty much everything you said about all the theatrics, but we both also know the game is changing (has changed). Golf is now cool and everyone wants to be a part of it. Just take a look at the rubes I had to play behind yesterday. Took every one of them 10 to get to the green!:mj16: My buddy slices one over in another fairway, and they just pick his ball up on their way by:wtf: Trounced through bunker after bunker and never raked, never fixed a ballmark, left the flag sitting half in/half out on a lot of holes, 2 holes behind and never gave a single thought to letting us play through. They were all wearing Nike this and Nike that, these clowns would never have been there if not for Tiger.
However, I disagree that Tiger was faking or playing up the injury in any way. Wayne you know Golf well enough to see it hampered several swings he made. IMO those double crosses (attempted cut shots that turned into quick hooks) were a direct result of the knee and his inability to hold the club off through impact. But being the person he is, he won't stand in the media tent and blame the knee.
Greatest athlete that has ever lived IMO, at ANY sport.
