The Masters 07

Don't get me wrong, I love seeing playoff rounds, and highly competitve tournaments, but there is part of me that likes seeing history be made and records be broken. If every record was set, and every "amazing" player was before my time, I think things would get boring. Its always interesting to see what records get broken, Whether it be Sidney Crosby or Tiger Woods, or Roger Federer, I like the fact that I'm able to follow it, and be part of the action, so to speak.

Tiger has also done so much for the sport of golf its incredible. I heard a stat yesterday that said, the year Tiger won the his first Masters, 1997, the total money won all year combined was around 80mil$, this year it is almost 190mil$. All the other players have Tiger to thank for their nicer cars and newer houses.

That is all.

If he's breaking history - Sure. BUT HE'S NOT!

Is that all? :lol:

Actually its not even up to date, he has 4 Masters titles, plus Im sure there's others that aren't there, especially his career earnings. He's definitely one of a kind and I dont mind his dominance of the sport, if not for him I'd probably watch alot less golf. Its not like he wins every single week, his presence hasn't hurt golf imo, its made it better, its forced other players to step up there game and they change golf courses cause of this guy, its remarkable to watch I think. Golf needed someone to take it out of the dark and into the mainstream, Im sure the PGA loves it when he wins.

Back to the tournament, Tiger's +3 thru 2 holes, its do or die today. If he plays himself back into contention I see him pulling it off on Sunday, somone needs to make a charge today, I dont see Rose or Wetterich as good as they've played holding on. Looking at the leaderboard right now I think Vijay is in a good position to take this tournament, when his putter is going he's hard to beat.

At the time of my post, this weekend he was not "breaking history"

In this day and age, I am sure all his accomplishments will be severley documented on DVD etc.....

I believe it's amazing what he's doing and will do throughout his career.

Just give fair TV coverage to the leaders (at least) when Tiger isn't playing well.

Even when they're giving the guy his winning green jacket, they just HAVE to bring up Tiger...point proven

Hahaha...I didn't watch the end. After Tiger put his shot in the water on the 16th I knew he had no chance; and then he put his second shot on 17 in the bunker which sealed his fate. Tiger didn't play that well. He was sour and didn't look confident. Congrats to Johnson. He played very, very, very well.

Too many things went wrong for Tiger, no sense harping on them. The best player of the day won, and deservedly so.

Congrats to Johnson. :thumb:

It wasnt the most exciting Masters ever, but it was interesting.
