...and you're watching the brilliant play of Rory McIlroy, do you even bother attempting a 'comeback'?

Sure, if only to keep up your Hooter's hospitality card current.

LOL @ the HHC!

He makes more in 'perks' per year than most alpha males could in 2 lifetimes.

Ha,damn dude I was thinking of starting a thread along these lines and you beat me to it.

.....but lets just wait and see if Rory closes the deal.....he choked the lead away at the Maters.

Considering he made 75M this year to lose everything he entered, I'm gonna go with "because he outearns every sports figure by nearly 150%".

-11 is insane for a U.S.Open!
closest guy is -3 but a few guys havent played yet,maybe they can make it a little closer for the weekend.

Now that Tiger is being "watched" for PED's, I think he just might be toast for good. These tiny young players(160 pounds) can out drive Tiger by 20 yards. I think Tiger is so afraid of getting busted for using HGH etc. that its really in his head now.

I wonder if he'll have another meltdown like he did in Augusta?

He made 62 million dollars in 2010 without winning a single tournament

gumball is a toolbag. They ALWAYS doctor the US Open courses to one degree or another. When Tigger won in his rout, the media acted like it was can't miss TV, but when Rory did it, I heard guys like Mike and Mike on ESPN talking about how it was boring.

Paid 100 million in a divorce and who knows how much money he lost in Dubai. Lucky for him he still can print money.

Money will not be a problem for Tiger, but ironically I don't think that it is what drove/drives him. I think it was all about the "quest to beat Jack" and now, he very likely will not do that.

I think he will easily beat Jack. Just needs 4 more to tie I believe. Hell Tom Watson placed 2nd at the Open championship at the age of 59. Tiger has approx. 60 more majors to play(if healthy) before he turns even 50. And if he decides to play the majors like Watson has, Tiger will have close to 100 more majors before he turns 60.

The guy is just to good to not be able to pull out 5 more titles to beat Jacks record. I think he will end up with 25 when its all said and done.

I was worried for golf 5 years ago but now it's pretty cool to live in a time with so many young and talented golfers. I doubt Tiger wins 4 more majors. These new guys have officially taken over.

NO WAY on earth does he win 24 majors......that is absolutely insane. Watson was a fluke and he has always remained relatively healthy, whereas Tiger's health is as big of a concern at this point as his mental breakdown. Not to mention the competition is getting tougher and doesn't have that "awe" factor embedded in them like the players in the 90's and 2000's did for Tiger. These guys see him as beatable, which he clearly is, and aren't afraid of him.

These kids are a product of growing up watching Tiger.training and watching what they eat all because they learned that from Tiger as they grew up.they all WANT to play him as compared to the old guard for whom alot of them would melt knowing Tiger was close to the lead.

....If and a big IF Tiger can get to Jacks 18 I cant see him going much farther.at this point the real question is will he win one more major.

All true and it's funny how people act like Tiger is going to smash Jack's record, yet most don't know that they won their 14th at the same pace. By listening to ESPN and these "experts" you would think he was just blazing away at a faster pace than Jack.... not to mention Jack was healthier mentally and physically when he won his 14. Tiger's pace has been 1 major per year....I don't see him maintaining that, especially against the new guard of players.
