Yeah, Tiger’s problems had zero to do with the women, etc. He’s still probably greatest ever from a mental standpoint and could easily compartmentalize all of that. It’s all injury/training related and then the obvious pain killer abuse that came from all of the injuries. I think we all know he was hopped up on goof balls the day he crashed his car and almost lost his leg.

TBH I played golf today after having somewhat of a late night and not getting laid but was incredibly tired. It was absolutely horrible. I’m a 3.1 and shot 89. The fact he could live that life and play at the level he did is wild or even Anthony Kim in his prime. Those guys have another gear that no one else does.
 


Great run by Scottie here and he’s clearly the best player on the planet by a significant margin IMO.

As a comparison, from 1997 to 2009, Tiger won 29% of his starts and 26% of the majors. All Scottie needs to do is increase his win percentage and keep on the same pace for the next 10 years to catch up with Tiger. I think it’s easy to lose sight of how insane Tiger’s run was, given how routine and inevitable it seemed at the time.

Agreed with all of this. I do think Scottie probably would have one to five less wins if the LIV guys stayed. I think DeChambeau and Niemann each would win one or two PGA events. And then maybe Koepka, but he never really cared about PGA events.

Koepka appears disinterested 99.452% of the time. He has to be competitive on the inside to get this far, but his outwardly appearance looks as if he doesn’t give a shit anymore.
 
I think going to LiV has hurt Rahm the most. He was #1 in the world pre-LIV. He seems to need more competitive reps and he’s
missing that playing sporadically a dozen times a year now vs past-prime (poulter, Westwood, McDowell, Phil) and disinterested competition (see Dustin Johnson).

Brooks has played well at times and has always been a major-focused player. Didn’t have a ton of regular PGA tour wins pre-LIV.

Bryson has kind of been the outlier. Has played at a super high level in most majors since going to LIV.

Niemann just isn’t good when it matters and his major record bears that out. Agree that he would probably have a few regular tour wins on the Tour had he stayed.
