    Maybe it was a bad week , but can't see him being top 64 for long.

    I think it is a good outside bet after watching him.


    Paddy Power

    Have Tiger 11/2 odds to win master , what a joke.

    He should be 50/1

    I'd say there will be 3 South African Players ahead of him alone, could be 5.

    Ah, he played poor; true, but would you say Donald will be outside the top 128 after watching him?

    Paddy Power didn't make his money by getting sports odds wrong..

    Luke , is not going through a game transformation. He had a kid, won loads of money , his mind is no there at the mo.

    Tiger's Head is wrong
    Swing, in two swings
    Has lost his putting
    Angry again, sign of him not right.

    Wait and see, but 11 /2 come on.

    I'll run naked down O'Connel street , " **** should not have said that".

    Time will tell but I think there is plenty left in the tank yet. Not many people can rebuild their whole game and get back to competing at that level as quick as he has. If he hits the fairways in agusta he will have a great chance. Just needs to get his rhythm on the greens it's not the pressure that is making him miss them.

    Look , If he wins the Masters it will be the most amazing turn around.

    It is not his putting is the problem, there is no way around Augusta with his long game.

    An amazing turn around from a year ago but not from where he is now. All these guys are pros and operate at a level on a golf course that i couldn't in my wildest dreams see myself Playing at. Any of these guys could win the masters when they hit form and every pro expects to win a major if they don't they shouldn't be playing. So out of all the pros how could you not see tiger one of the best players of this generation winning any major he plays in.

    McGinley is a natural. Hope he's on there for the season. At least for the WGC.

    Can't see Eldrick winning with his putting.
    Seems to be miss-reading some putts and miss-hitting others.

    Maybe a belly putter would help, or getting Billy on his bag.

    Bradley gone now as well. I really fancy Kaymer at this stage. How did Rory play, didn't see any of the golf at all tonight?

    As stated previously I'm on Tiger already for the Masters, he's been competitive the last few weeks while playing erratically, his game will be well refined by April and he's always been brilliant at reading those Augusta greens. I wouldn't put it past him

    Possibly some truth in all of that, but people see Tiger not winning every week and immediately think his game is in tatters.

    I'll hazard a guess (open to correction) but il'd say if you took the last 4 tournaments of all the pros, his form is top 3

    Played very well and his short game was quality, that said it was neck and neck for a good bit.

    Never thought of that. Just know Jimenez will be completely relaxed no matter how well Rory will be playing.

    Lawrie v Laird should be interesting too, not often you get an all Scottish match in the WGC.

    Johnson v Kaymer(toughest bracket to call - really could be any of the 4)
    McIlroy v Westwood

    Final

    Kaymer v Westwood (Champion)

    Just started to think of semis when I saw Mcllroys potential route there, could be a lot tougher! Bae/Senden IF he gets past The Mechanic today.

    Q/finals tomorrow with the semi's and final on Sunday.

    That's a departure from the norm, isn't it.

    Rory's long game has looked off so far this season, and he's been hitting some very loose shots this week. But his scrambling has improved massively.
