GolfSpy MPR 12,190 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 This isn't a discussion of whether he will or not: I'm asking, if he were to win 17, are you rooting for him to get 18 and 19? My answer: in part, I'd love for Tiger to finish with 18, tied with Jack. What better way to provoke conversation for years to come? But in full honesty, I'd be pulling for him to get his nineteenth. There's certainly a selfish aspect to this: I want to be able to watch history being made. 2 Quote TS3 Mavrik Sub Zero 15°, Aldila Rogue White 130 MSI 70 S F6 5-6W, 18.5°, Fujikura Motore 6.3 XR Pro 20°, Project X 75 Black HYB S CBX Iron-Wood 22°, Project X HZRDUS Black 6.0 85g 699 Pro, Modus3 105, 6–PW Forged Black 50°, 54°, and 58° EAS 4.0 TP5x Full WITB with pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyBobby_PR 9,275 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Yes. Imo tiger is already the goat. Him passing jack stops all the debate in its tracks.

Jmikecpa 13,444 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Yes I would. As a 10 year old watching Jack win the Masters in 86 with my Grandfather was the moment that really got me into golf and turned me into a golf nut. Watching Tiger win yesterday with my three children gave me that moment a second time. My kids knew of Tiger but none of them actually got to see him in his prime and yesterday was a glimpse into one of the greatest athletes that I will ever see in any sport. Not to mention Tiger now has three new fans in my house.

mr.hicksta 3,397 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I absolutely do and if he does I think it will solidify him as the GOAT. If he does.....my goodness I can only imagine the hysteria that will take place. Obviously there's excitement with him winning the Masters, but with the US Open and PGA Championship being played at Pebble and BPB respectively, one can't help get excited about the prospects of him getting 16 this year as well. If he continues to manage his health the way he has the last couple years I think it'll happen within the next 3 seasons. 3 Quote LTDx 9º | HZRDUS Smoke Green 60 6.0 SIM Ti 3W 15º | HZRDUS Smoke Green 70 6.0 G425 3H 19º | HZRDUS Smoke Black Hybrid 80 6.0 Z785 4-PW | Project X LS 6.0 RTX ZipCore Tour Rack 50º Mid, 54º Mid and Full-Face 60º Mid | Project X LS 6.0 ER5 | BGT Stability Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cksurfdude 10,496 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Interesting question, of course, but it's not about what I want........ It's all about what does Tiger - and by extent any of and all of the other competitors - want .. which is (putting all health issues aside)... Who wants it most? Here's a good viewpoint on how and why Tiger won The Masters.... "HOW TO DEVELOP THE MENTAL SKILLS OF TIGER WOODS After surprising everyone with his victory at The Tour Championship last year, this green jacket further proves just how determined Tiger is to achieve even more goals in the game, despite all the struggles he’s had, and all the voices telling him to give up." Continued at... https://golfstateofmind.com/tiger-woods-mental-game-power-masters-email/ PS: I cannot admit to being a big Tiger fan but I do well appreciate the way he plays the game, and when so many tv talking heads were saying "..never again" .. I said, "Never say 'never'."

CarlH 8,001 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Even if he doesn't, it doesn't take away from his greatness or a reasonable assertion that he's the G.O.A.T.
