Golf has definitely missed Tiger.
Buncha young studs just got their asses handed to them by a 43 year old.

Congrats to Tiger
He’s ridden a real roller coaster
Nice to see him at the top again
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Sheer awesomeness and I quit golf over 30 years ago. Glad to see him back.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

Trivia: Who's the only person to have to put on the jacket himself? I think Nicklaus, Faldo, and Woods have won consecutive Masters - no clue who put the jackets on for them.

Tiger will still have to win 3 more majors after this one to catch Nicklaus. That would be a hell of a feat. Athletically, he's 10 years past his prime. There's always a chance... Jack will always be the greatest in my book! That's because he is the greatest! I think not. The 14th hole yesterday was vintage Tiger. He is the only one to be able to visualize shots like that and to then execute perfectly.

When Jack won back to back in 65-66, there was no previous Champion to put it on him so Chairman Roberts said you'll just have to put it on yourself. They rectified the situation after that so the Chairman would present the green jacket to back to back winners Faldo and Woods.

Well, the Council of Grand Dragons ain't happy....

I'd wager Tiger is only about 35% negro.

Whatever you want to call him, he's the 2019 Masters Champion and the PGA is better when he's good.
There are 2 rules to success:
1. Never tell everything that you know.

He is quite wealthy as well.  Tiger winning is good for the game. Everyone likes to give second chances to people who are sorry for their mistakes. Tiger seems to be humble and has a good attitude. I'm sure he has learned one of life's lessons, the hard way.

I'd wager Tiger is only about 35% negro. In the eyes of the media, that's enough. My main objection to him is that if he'd been a White dude named Johnny Woods, he would not have gotten a tenth of the media coverage he has gotten. Because golf has traditionally been dominated by Whites, with the occasional Hispanic, Oriental, or Indian thrown in for good measure, it behooved the media to have a Black guy that was good at it, and Tiger was and now has made his "comeback".......the comeback that that same sports media has been talking about for years. I don't like golf, and it doesn't matter to me whether he wins, or whether some European with a funny name does, but I do get tired of hearing about it. For the next year all that the sports media will be talking about will be how his winning the Masters is the greatest comeback ever in sports.......and not for one for one minute will they mention that there really aren't that many great golfers in the game right now. He got lucky, and more power to him, because he has the talent to win, and when you're that talented it really shouldn't be a surprise.......unless you're Black and the media idolizes you.

All is well in Negroville. Would expect nothing less from the resident wizard. Unbelievable win for Tiger. Amazing feat.
