I still maintain Tiger will win one more major (not a US Open though) but yikes his short game is rusty.

Too lazy to search .... what's the oldest winner in major championship ? Jack (Master)?

Tiger is 38 I believe. I say he will never win a major because prone injuries (torque extremes) and wild swings ala John Daly.

Tiger wouldn't even be in the top 20. So I guess he still has time to mount a comeback. Kind of doubt if he does though.

Retirement from competitive golf at 40 years old or earlier. Tiger will join ESPN/Golf/TNT/CBS/ABC/NBC commentator. Or else star at porn XXX movies.

Interesting .....

Boros suffered a fatal heart attack in 1994 on the golf course at the Coral Ridge Country Club in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He was found sitting in a golf cart under a willow tree by two club members at 16th hole, his favorite spot on the course.

79 wins and 10 missed cuts. That is absolutely wild. Nobody else comes even remotely close to that stat.

Tiger starts bogey-bogey but plays a six-hole stretch on the back nine in four under to post -3.

Rory leading at -6.

 
According to the BBC's Andrew Cotter, 10 years ago Rory McIlroy's father, Gerry, and three friends made a legal bet of 400 British pounds (100 each, equivalent to $170.87 currently) that the then-15-year-old would win the Open Championship by the age of 26.


On Sunday, the Northern Irishman will be 25 years, 2 months and 16 days, meaning his father and friends would collect 200,000 pounds (roughly $341,730). Though the bet actually stipulated that the younger McIlroy would win by the time he was 25, Cotter confirmed that even though McIlroy's 25th birthday has passed, the wager still counts as he has not yet turned 26.
