We're going to see a watered down version of him. I wish he'd rest up instead. He's not ready for these dudes out there right now.

Have you considered getting out of my rough ridin' face?

I don't play or watch golf, so it's been amusing to me to hear commentators talk about how the challenge of this will be if he can walk the course, with it coming off to me as that walking is a more arduous physical/athletic endeavor than the actual playing of golf.

People are saying that because Tiger himself said the state of his recovery is such that the golf shots don't hurt but walking long distances does (paraphrasing). Seems weird that that would be the case, but apparently it is. Also, Augusta National is very hilly, so that makes the walking more taxing. If you ask this Tigerhead, the PGA should allow him to use a cart (not gonna happen).

Yes, they definitely talk a lot about how it's harder than walking on a flat surface, and that adds to my lol.

My quick math says the course itself is 4.3 miles long. I could see how it could be a problem doing that for 2-4 straight days, considering he almost had to have his right leg amputated a little over a year ago. A golf swing, especially at an elite level, does put stress on various parts of the body, but not so much on the lower legs.

PTI today was pretty tiger-specific with respect to how grueling walking is.  I can't remember the other shows (maybe podcasts?) last week where they were talking about how hard walking is for everyone.

Good luck to all of these folks in their 4 4-mile walks (with elevation!) with about 72 breaks each day.

TIGER IS rough ridin' PLAYING FUCKERS!

This whole thing is clearly trim trimming but for the record

Woods’ injuries included comminuted open fractures to both his tibia and fibula bones in his right leg. Those required immediate surgery at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center before he was subsequently transferred to Cedars Sinai and, finally, back to South Florida in mid-March to continue his rehab from home. Still unclear is whether additional procedures will be necessary, or if Woods can expect to regain full mobility and strength in his leg.

Though surgeons managed to save his right leg after considering amputation, his injuries — including compound fractures that pierced the skin — suggested he would be lucky to walk again, let alone play golf.

Woods’ injury list reads like a medical encyclopedia: five back surgeries, ruptured anterior cruciate ligaments, torn Achilles’ tendons, surgeries to remove benign growths from his troublesome left knee.

I once had to quit a round with sciatica and I had a cart. I couldn't imagine doing this. I don't think he has a chance in hell of making it though two rounds and if he manages to do that, something he had trouble doing before 2019, no shot at making the cut. I'll enjoy watching until he inevitably WDs though.

Found it, the 3/29 PTI. It was today’s PTI that reminded me of it.

It’s unbelievable the hills and how difficult it is to walk augusta national.

I’m aware tiger will have a harder time than other golfers with walking. Wilbon made it sound like completing the masters is tougher than TJ’s Final.

[stunted]

if those old past champs can walk it, tiger can.

How sad is the state of golf right now that Tigers crippled ass moves the needle. 

[mocat]

i kind of completely blacked out that he had to be jaws of life'd out of his own vehicle

“How sad is the state of golf all time” is what you meant. Tiger IS golf. Nobody else is ever watching this or ever has. God damn it’s so horny with tho.

Tiger is half metal at this point in his life. Between his back and legs, etc. The tork and force he uses to hit the ball the way he does, takes a toll. He's also 46. If he makes it to the weekend, that's 72 holes over the course of 4 days. He's going against a whole new generation of young studs as well, but go off, king!

The Nicklaus era was exciting but between that and Tiger it was a big old fat dump. Hopefully Charlie can carry the torch.

We've had Brooks, Spieth, JT, and others. It hasn't been that bad, people just want a dominant god to watch.

Tune in to see if Tiger is killing it
