And create Tiger vs. Rory rivalry, it would be the best thing to happen to golf in a long, long time, possibly ever.

New Kid on the bock vs. Proven Winner, Europe vs. America, Rory's Image vs. Tiger's Image, etc., but most importantly Pure Talent vs. Pure Talent. There's something for everyone. It could be spectacular.

Tiger accomplished what no one else on tour could accomplish:



beat Tiger.

I see a retirement before a "comeback." Sad to say.

Tigers best days are most likely behind him.

At 36 years of age, a body that is starting to wear down and having lost the mental edge, not to mention being out of competition this long, its hard for an athelete to come back from those set of circumstances.

Rory is taking tigers place by succession, not from beating him and it is sad.

You're never going to see THAT Tiger ever again. Just like when Buster Douglas knocked out Tyson, He was never the same after and every other fighter thought he was now beatable. Same thing with Tiger, plus he's got really bad knees.

After Buster Douglas, Tyson came back and beat the number 2 ranked guy (Razor Ruddock) twice. He was still the premiere fighter.

3 years in Prison took more out of Tyson. His fighting skills deteriorated significantly in that time.

Agree, but sadly it's not Rory's fault. It wouldn't been epic for golf to have the Arnie/Jack/Watson rivalry and competition going.

I think this is the biggest issue for Tiger. If he keeps snapping that left knee while swinging, he's going to keep hurting himself. He's got to make a change that addresses that.

And to think a few years ago, it was a lock that Tiger was going to crush Jack's major record. Not so much anymore...

I don't think the issue is the swing, I think it's all the running he does. He needs to hit the bike and save all that extra wear and tear on the knees.

I think it's his lower left leg. He did rip that Achilles running in late 2008 or early2009 . That was an injury that no one knew about till the scandal.
