That was insane. Truly insane. I was thinking, damn, he missed the ridge and is going to have 15ft for par. Trickled it onto the spot the size of a dime and got it to inches. Pure brilliance.
Yeah I can't think of anyone else who could imagine that putt. The precision required for that putt is more than I can ever understand. Several breaks, including the first where he goes 10 feet to the right almost going into the fringe and then a roller coaster down and left to that hole where he gets it to tap in range.
Amazing.
This is being obtuse, everything shouldn't be American politics 24/7... It's not one thing or the other. Nobody watching game of thrones tonight was worried about how "important" it was
No one said golf is more important, but you don't have to sing and fart politics every minute of every single day. That sounds miserable.
Also, holy shit. I watched the last 2 hours a bit ago. Gave me chills.
I would watch the shit out of that show! And probably not agree with a single conclusion they come to lol
In a thread about winning. Jim brown is not really gonna win out.
The goats are tiger. Phelps. Serena. Federer. Jordan. Brady. Open to the soccer goat discussion.
Congrats Tiger! I'm so happy I was able to watch this historic event live. It's truly remarkable what he did after all his ups and downs.
I didn't like Tiger while he was winning for the same reason I don't like the patriots.
But I'm glad he's made a comeback after so long.

Tiger didn't win his majors nowadays though, his first was 20 years ago. I think the field is stronger now than it was back then even. When you look at the field who were in contention yesterday, it was absolutely stacked.

Very happy for the golfer, the man, the father. He's one of the few athletes in the world right now despite the golf not necessarily being as fast and frenetic as others, really draws your attention. Even competing let alone winning, that is a great feel-good story. I don't think any pundits or anybody who it's familiar with the mistakes or the injuries that have occurred would ever doubt the man credit and at least feel a sense of happiness for this happening. It's great for sports in general and something you make movies about. That's the stuff that moves my needle.
You're right. I want people to respect me as a human being only some of the time.
Top 4 of all time in a sports category. In this case--Greatest of All Time in their sport.
People also do it within a sport, like basketball.

Mount Rushmore is a giant monument of our most prolific presidents carved on a rock on a mountain. Sports Mount Rushmore would be a similar concept of the most prolific athletes with their likenesses carved on a rock face.
Yeah a long time ago i had to choose three people in sport that i thought would be leading in their sport for years to come.
I figured Tiger Woods, Martina Hingis and Ronaldo (the really talented one from Brazil) would be the GOATS (not THAT much of a wild guess since their talent was in plain sight for a long time).
In potential, the three of them had it in them. Of course, life can't be predicted and you never know when a dramatic event or career-ending injury will occur. But it's great to see Woods living up to that again.

I blame ESPN and Twiiter for this nonsesnse phrase. When Rosenberg said "Rushmore" the second time on Friday, I changed the station.

Man, so many iconic goosebump inducing memories at the 18th yesterday. This moment was captured perfectly.

Kind of a minor point in the grand scheme of things, but I love that there aren't any cell phones in that first pic. I had forgotten that Augusta Bans them.
one of the greatest moments i've ever witnessed. sports are the best. i jumped out of my seat and ran around the living room after his shot on 16.
Reminds me how excited I was when Andy Murray won the Olympics and then Wimbledon, and I'm not even from the UK
They suck at certain things, but they sure know how to run a golf tournament.
Out of all the sports and events I have followed over the last 35 years, the Masters is definitely the best run. From the fans, to the grounds, to just the way it always comes down to the last 6 holes. And you get more attached to it the older you get.
Seeing Tiger hug his kids contrasted with when I saw him hug his dad in 1997 was definitely a powerful moment for me. I was in college when he won that Masters and kind of a Greg Norman fan. None of us were ready for what we saw then or since.
Iol, if celebrating a guy winning a golf tournament is disrespectful, I guess so
ah ok thanks.
well yall need to consider this guy then:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Alexandrowitsch_Karelin
hes a serios contender to be the most dominant athlete of any sport of all time. His win ratio is 887:2 (with one of the 2 losses beeing his last match (olympic finale nonetheless)), he was 13 years undefeated, with 6 consecutive years not even giving away a single point.
They were ahead of the game with live streaming years ago too.
Yeah Greg was my man for quite a while before Tiger,even got his shark tattoo. 😄
