That was fun to watch. Who doesn't like a comeback / redemption story? I'm not a big Tiger fan but this win is pretty sweet for him and the game of golf.

Stolen comment from Breitbart: Like America, Tiger couldn't win under Obama.
It's about like this:
"Do you puff peters?"
"Hell no!"
"NAZI!!!"

The media MF’s are slobbering all over their microphones. I won’t be able to listen to talk radio for a week.

All is well in Negroville. 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. I bet your daddy never grew tired of beating your ass. Thanks for the visual. JJ never ceases to publicize his asinine ignorance.

Always thought he had a few more majors left in him. Good for him.

Let's put this into perspective. Today was a great win and a solid comeback for Tiger and for the good of the game.
IMHO, the greatest comeback in golf belongs to Ben Hogan. Born in Texas, dad kills himself in front of the boy, Ben quits high school to go pro. Flew planes in the Army Air Corp during WWII, then starts winning on tour. Wins a bunch of tournaments and then gets into a head-on with a Greyhound in the late 40's with his wife. They're lucky to survive. He's all broken up, broken back, pelvis, ankle, ribs, etc. He's back on tour within a year. Wins everything there is to win; The Masters twice, the US Open 4 times, the British, and the PGA twice - all after the accident and after age 40. Medicine didn't even know what rehab was back then. He had the best swing in golf before or since, won 69 tournaments and 9 majors...he rarely played the PGA because his legs couldn't hold up much past 18 holes - before they changed the format, the PGA was 36 hole match play. That's the greatest comeback and I would think that Tiger would agree.

Tiger was was a guy who was never comfortable in his skin. He played golf because of his father and it is what he’s always done. I read where he wanted to join the military and be a special forces guy at one point. I’m hoping this means he’s come to terms with his unhappiness and is at peace inside. I had a pretty wise man tell me that if you make a job out of something you like you will burn out and start to dislike it. If you stick with it you eventually come back around and start to like it again. I’m hoping this is where Tiger is now. Playing because he wants to play and not because of his father , expectations , and contracts.

Just Imagine if the old time greats like Bobby Jones or Sam Snead had the same golf club technology that Tiger has to play with.

Watching a guy earn some redemption is awesome.
You don't luck into the green jacket. Especially after major back surgery. No matter what happens from here on out, he made a complete comeback. Climbed the mountain again. Earned it. The MASTERS!
I am rooting for him to do that personally as well, if he hasn't done so already. Not for me to judge either way on that score. I hope The Man Upstairs is merciful in that regard, seeing as I'll need some mercy myself.
Kudos Tiger Woods. Set some thing right today, and that's always a good thing.
