Question

With Tiger out for the year, who will be the best golfer in 2008?

Answer 1

Tiger still could be player of the year based on what he has already done this season.

Answer 2

icujsin71... Tiger being out is "great"?

I'm no Tigermaniac, but the guy just won the US Open with a torn anterior cruciate ligament and a double stress fracture of the left tibia.

Now that is what falls under great in my book, and pretty much puts an exclamation point on why all the hubbub around the guy.

Looking forward to his full recovery and return,

Answer 3

This years player of the year could still be on the course. I am 70 and been playing for more years than I would like to think about, and I do appreciate what Tiger has done. I still feel that too many of the other golfers are not given enough credit for their accomplishments. Many of the players that are in contention for the 2008 player of the year should also be recognized and I for one feel that Justin Leonard should be given some credit for his accomplishments in the consistency he has shown so far this year. Is there any one how has been in the top 20 and above more than him this year. Just a thought golf fans. Look at all the statistics of all the top golfers. Yes Tiger is a force to be reckoned with every time he tees it up, but so are all the other golfers.

Answer 4

I agree with the other posters.  It could still be Tiger.  That being said, I'd love to see a couple of the younger players rise up.  Sergio Garcia and Adam Scott come to mind.  Still, it's Tiger's world and everybody else is just along to fill the playing card up.

Answer 5

I think it could be Garcia.  He won the Players, and could well win The Open (he was close last year) or the PGA.

Answer 6

he will still be

Answer 7

This is great.....i was just telling my wife this last sunday, im not sure why they call it the whatever whatever championship when all it ever entails is tiger, tiger, tiger oooh yeah, some guy 6 holes behind him that hit a spectator, more tiger tiger tiger, ooh then they show briefly the guy that is paired with tiger, for a brief second as he swings then its straight back to tiger and what kind of socks hes wearing today, hes got a bug in his eye, is that a limp? omg omg omg! 45 minutes of speculating on something no one knows anything about but tiger, then 13 commercials, starring...drum roll....TIGER!

then back to the tiger woods championship featuring, tiger woods and "cast"......

I would be surprised if we hear anything about gold for the rest of the year...other than the expected tiger woods updates..."and today tiger woods took his very first steps without the aid of a 6 foot tall blonde, although his socks didnt appear to have the nike logo on it, we will now speculate on this and whether or not nike is still tigers sponsor or if tiger and nike are having contract issues....followed by 28 one hour special episodes on NBC sports aimed at proving tiger woods faked his knee injury in order to take the rest of the season off without sustaining any liquidated damages from his sponsors.

Golf will be forgotten for the next 10 months. No one really cares about Phil N. Hes proven hes nothing more than a spoiled little brat in a mans body, although the media has made attempts to revamp his image his past 3 seasons, hes still a fat, sloppy middle aged cry baby. Vhijay...well hes a lost cause this year.....that leaves nothing more to hope for other than some young amateur coming out and sticking it to the pros!!!!

Answer 8

It is wonderful that Jay can be so analytical and so devastated that Tiger Woods gets much of the video time. So instead of spouting off to Yahoo, why not petition the major networks to change their modus operendi " method of operation" so that all the field is equally covered.. Do you feel that the 135th qualifier should get equal time? Who do the payers of the coverage want in the front row, the 135th qualifier?
