TIGER JUST PULLED OUT FOR THE REST OF THE PGA TOUR SEASON

I wonder what this means for the Ryder Cup

so far, radio is reporting tiger is a no go for the cup. shocking stuff, really.

i am one that thinks tiger has UNBELIEVABLE self-motivation when it comes to chasing jack and not allowing the obscene amounts of money soften his drive. however, and i know stress fractures are painful, i wonder if this is the beginning of the end with him. 4 knee surgeries, all the money in the world, a new child, a relatively new wife, the demands of public appearances, boring-ass practice, lack of any serious rival, etc, etc.

tiger NEVER ceases to amaze me when it comes to this stuff, but someday it will start to make him think: "is all this really worth it?"

i think that day comes shortly after winning major 19, but it could be something he is looking forward to now.

Interesting article.

"The lesson Woods should, perhaps, take from this episode is that, while his U.S. Open courage was magnificent, his attitude toward preserving and protecting his body must change or the rest of his career may be half of what it should be."

Wheeeeeee Europe win.

Wheeeeeee Europe win.

Europe always wins Ryder Cup. your point was? lol.

i wish the Americans had the "unity" that Europe seems to display. maybe we would win one someday if that were the case.

I hate to say it but the US may have a better chance w/o Tiger

And you have a better shot at winning a Gauntlet if it is PLO8.

yeah i do have a better shot, because apparently you are not smart enough to understand the rules of a really simple game.

[GatorJH]

the only rule I seemed to have was to ship chips to Will. And I was pretty damn good at it!!!!

[will641]

I guess when you win so many pots it gets hard to remember all of them.

[will641]

ohhhhhh yeah. forgot about that one. how much of a favorite were you anyways? i have no idea how to figure out how much someone is favored ai with plo8.

[GatorJH]

With all of the draws and such I wouldn't be surprised to find that you were actually a favorite pre-flop.

Anybody with Pokerstove for Omahizzle know the answer to this? Swigg?
