Masters Preview / Tiger Is A Nerd

NJ.com

AUGUSTA, Ga. — A few hundred amateur psychologists were standing around the 4th tee box at Augusta National, searching for clues, just 28 minutes after the gates opened on a dreary Tuesday morning.

Is the famous golfer approaching the tee more relaxed? Is he more dialed in? Is he ready to turn back the clock and, at long last, become Tiger Woods again?

So that crowd, some 15-people deep, went silent as Woods and his old friend, Mark O'Meara, stepped into view. Woods sized up the 250 yards to the par-3 green and grumbled that he might just use his damn driver. Everyone laughed.

"You know, pretty soon (the tee) is going to be back in the dogwoods over there," O'Meara told him, pointing to a spot behind the fans. "It's going to be 280, 300 yards. That's your fault. Jack (Nicklaus) started it, and you started it, and now all these guys are ..."

And then, without turning, Woods fired back.

"ARE YOU DONE YET?" he said, and this time, everyone erupted in laughter.

Hello Friends

Simply the Best golf event of the year. Augusta seems like the course you get to play when you make it to heaven. Place looks so perfect that some of the camera shots of the course don't look real. Augusta is as iconic as it gets and its the one tourney that all these guys want the most.

I will be pulling for the young Texan this week. Really want to see Spieth and Rory go at it on Sunday. Would be fantastic TV and a preview of the sport for the next 10-15 years. Spieth is also everything that Tiger is not. Likable. 

Tiger Rant

Tiger is a giant nerd. Hate that bum. He couldn't be more fake or calculated if he tried. I also think the guy is historically dumb. The simply fact that this guy thought he could get away with sleeping with a TON of slobs was scary stupid. Pro Athletes cheat. But, when you are in the same stratosphere of athlete that Tiger became during the turn of the century you pay people to cover your tracks. Michael Jordan covered tracks like a serial killer. My boy Tiger had these creatures call his phone. SCARY DUMB.  

Elin then beat the swagger out of him and now he has the confidence of a sober guy at local pub. Just hanging on the wall for dear life. Praying that no one talks to him because he knows he is awkward as hell.

I would love to just push this guy around a room now and see how he reacts. Now that he is off the juice he would probably crumble and cry. He was 100% on HDH. I have gotten within arms reach of the guy at Torrey in 2007 and he looked like a linebacker. This year at Torrey he looked like a guy that should be stuffed in a locker.

Gambling Alert:  HAMMER the prop bet of him not making the cut. You can see it in his eyes. He has lost his asshole swagger and is like a lost puppy trying to go home. Going off at -115 right now. FREE MONEY.

Also LOVE the hustle by my boy John Daly showing up on tuesday to start selling JD merch even though he is not in the field. Money Don't sleep.
