It's backhanded comments like this that show your allegiance to the Butch Jones regime.

It’s not back handed. I’m just saying you can put someone who’s been deemed as an elite recruiter at a lesser program and suddenly they don’t look as elite. I actually think we’ve done a very good job recruiting. If we keep it up and Pruitt is a good coach we should be around 9 wins year in year out.

Hardest? I would attest it is difficult and a never ending challenge. But that sure doesn't make it the greatest. I would consider golf far too inegalitarian to be the greatest. A game like soccer or baseball might be up there for that award imo. Golf is for the select few in 1st world countries that can afford the immense costs of just learning, training, and playing.

It doesn't cost that much, I'm poor as dirt and I play when my health allows it. It can cost that much if you are trying to look like Tiger out there. I ain't trying to beat anybody when I play, just me against the course and myself.

What I've learned about golf today.
1.Tiger Woods fans are very passionate about everyone appreciating him.

2 . Tiger Woods seems to still be really good at golf.

3. When you're really good at golf, other people get together and get you a green coat. This one I find most interesting.

Can I add a 4? If so, it would be:

If you haven't won a major championship in a sport as a player you don't know enough about it to discuss it in public... which makes me wonder how sports reporters have managed to make a living.

Good call..I thought somebody inside 3 shots was going to go off and drive the winning score down to 15 under...the weather definitely changed that. You are right, If Tiger was putting just a smidge better inside 6 feet the first couple of days, he would have won by 4-6 instead of one.

Now...what do you think of his chances going forward? It is obvious to me that he is going to be a force every time he tees it up in majors...for as long as his health holds out. That's three in a row he has been at the top on the final day.

Tiger deserved the win because he stayed rock steady all day. In the end he shot a 70 to win by one stroke. The meltdown of all those around him helped him win. Anybody can play the "if only" game. Everybody out there missed a lot of putts and shots they wished they had back. DJ missed far more easier putts than Tiger this week. Loses by one. Molinari and Koepka had mindless double bogeys (Molinari twice) on the back nine today. One of them wears the jacket if they make par instead. Finau ties if he makes par instead of double on #12. Schauffele melts down on the easier back nine the day before or else he wears the jacket since he finished only one back and shot a 68 today. It goes on and on.

Tiger could win several more majors if he stays healthy. That experience, focus, and putting can carry the day when the pressure is on. He manages risk better than anybody in the game. Nicklaus was the same way. They eliminate excessive risk in their game plans and minds prior to every round.

If he doesn’t get his putter straightened out inside of 10 feet, it will require him to have to continue to have the type of ballstriking rounds he had this week. Tiger’s iron game has always been one of his biggest strengths, but that putter was so so good for so long, and saved him so many times. Now, if he’s off with his ballstriking, it’s not there to save him. He has to figure out why he’s missing so many putts inside 10 feet. If he can, not only will he be a force at majors, but he will be in any event he tees it up in. This could easily propel him to whole other level in this epic comeback. To think he couldn’t hardly walk 2 years ago and now just won The Masters is crazy! It was fun to watch, and that interaction with his kids was touching. You can tell they mean a lot to him. For all the terrible he did making bad choices in his personal life, he seems to have made some good choices in being a good father to his kids...at least what we can see from the outside and how much he’s always talking about them.

And I loved seeing him get the monkey off his back about never winning a major when trailing entering the final round.
