Is anybody else tired of TIGER yet?

[SideLine Shooter]

Last week Tiger quit in the second round of the Quail Hollow Championship. This week in the final round of The Players Championship he quit on the 7th hole. It seems to me that if he is not in the spotlight his body language is saying, get me out of here.
Please go take care of your personal problems. Stay away from the tour. I am tired of all the "Tiger Updates." Let me watch a golf match and the other professionals that are trying to earn their money.

I couldn't agree more...well said.

I was tired of Tiger in November.

Like I said, you need to change your avatar.

Not if he keeps up this level of play...Mickelson is nipping on his heals. So deal with that!!!!

I thought at Quail Hollow, he missed the cut. How is that quitting?

He shot under par in each of the three rounds at the Players Championship, right? He pulled out what is appearing to a legitimate injury. All indications are that this is what it is...

Now, if you are tired of all the Tiger Woods' coverage and how everyone is flipping over every movement he makes, that's a different thing, because I think we all are!

Tiger made his bed, how he has to sleep in it. :D Whines that a normal person would get the luxury to deal with his situation in private where he has to deal with it publically. xbawlingx Big deal, he knew the consequences yet still nailed most things that moved. Don't feel sorry for him but his status as one of the best ever could be in jeopardy because he now has kryptonite around his neck and is human, like all the other golfers! Can he regain his form, probably, but I dont' need to hear about it on every telecast. Let him play golf like every other person on the tour.

What do you mean by "tired of him YET?" I was tired of his BS years ago.

No different than all the other over exposure other athlete's get when they become 'news'...Remember Favre's continuing soap opera over his 'in-out-in-out-in' saga last year? Tiger is what he is. It's the media that is the problem. If they ignored him, we wouldn't be 'tired' of the coverage...

True...but he and all other athletes who are in the spoltlight in that fashion created it by doing their act/deed/story. So, while the media may hype it up, the athletes themselves started it for them...

Tiger Woods coach Hank Haney has quit as his "swing coach". Must be something going on.

Before it is said, Hank was his golf swing coach. I don't think he was coaching Tigers' Swinging Lifestyle.

Certainly appears that Tiger took his instructions to heart,,,"Never up, never in.";)

[putter]

Funny how Tiger still is acting like the "Old" Tiger. He says that he and Hank mutually decided to part ways...Haney said himself it was his decision alone and he told Tiger about it before the Players, yet, Tiger publically said they were still working together - even though he was not at the tournament with him........xeyebrowx

I've been tired of Tiger for as long as his name has been out there. But I must admit the reason is I don't like golf and can't for the life of me understand why anybody would want to watch it or pay someone to play it. To me making a big deal out of someone being the best golf player in the world is like making a big deal about somebody being the best Monopoly player in the world. That's great. But who the heck cares? Who would want to sit there an watch somebody play Monopoly or, worse yet, pay them hundreds of millions of dollars for it? Or at least that's the way it should be.

To me, it's bad enough that they have to waste TV time with golf. Now there's a golf icon we have to see on commercials and such.

John, I think you can make that same argument for all sports, even the one we all love and discuss everyday on this site but if there's a market for it then so be it. I'm the same way with poker. Don't understand why people like to watch guys sit around a table and play cards. But since I play golf, I enjoy watching it and realize that it does involve at least a little more athletic ability, skill and hand-eye coordination than Monopoly. As for the subject of this thread, I tend to quickly "get over" those that the media continuously, ad nauseum, report on and praise to the point of hero worship. I've always been one to pull for the underdog or at least the one who is not necessarily the media darling.

Tiger has a fork in him now - the wheels have come off of his wagon.
