Frnakly, its refreshing to see anyone come out and be brash when it comes to playing with Tiger.

We need more players with the "he's not God" attitude to come out and make the tour interesting. yeah, right now Tiger is bar-none, the best out there, but come on - don't you really think these guys could do better against Tiger? IMHO, its a mind game the field needs to fix - they have the shots - they just fold under Tiger.....

Im simply saying he did it in a rude and tactless manner. I have no problem with people being confident in themselves, cocky even and saying something along the lines of "Bring Tiger on" etc., but dont publicly critisize a guy who you are frankly not even in his solar system. Tigers response was warranted and great IMO. He has the same amount of wins this year that this guy has in his entire career, hes won MAJORS 4x more than this guy has one tournaments.

Again, no problem with confidence and good sported comptetition, but no rude comments at someone elses expense. Golf doesnt need that either.

Tiger still comes out on top of sabbatini ...Woods at even par Rory at +1..(like i said still spoke too soon in Rory's case) tiger still beats him lol ...and as tiger and the rest of the field...sure he's gonna get beat by one or maybe more of the 150 player field...He still has a 30 something % of winning and beating all 150 ..that says something...

ya, i thought it was kind of funny how Rory tried to talk himself up against Tiger, and then Tiger (who was playing poorly all week) came back to beat him by a stroke.

i don't really care if Rory, who hasn't really won anything, wants to run his mouth, that's his problem, i could care less. but i think it's just a bad idea to taunt Tiger in general, even Phil talks down about challenging Tiger, because Tiger looks for that extra motivation to prove something. Tiger is a lot like Jordan in that sense. Jordan would look for anything to be his motivation to stay on top. for instance, the '97 playoffs, Karl Malone wins the mvp, jordan thought he deserved it, they meet the Jazz in the finals, Jordan scores 40 with the flu, and hits the series winner in game 6. I think Tiger is a lot like that, if you call him out, he uses that as extra motivation to beat you. sure, it's probably just a coincidence that he beat rory, but i still think it's not a good idea from a player's perspective. as a fan, it's fun to see these guys make it interesting, just to see how each player responds with their play, cause that's all that matters anyway.

Also, anyone who watched the Live from the Players coverage last night on Golf Channel and saw the segment on Rory now knows that he was picked as who you least want to be paired with, not because of his playing style or because he plays fast, but he apparently cant control himself and mouths off all the time.

Rory is talking nonsene but also he's right in sayin that tiger is beatable.. Tiger was beaten at the players so it is possible.. I mean no affence to the other tour players but there is nobody who is performing consistantly.. Phil can be great one week and rubbish the next.. Tiger doesnt really have a consistent challenge.. I think he's the best in the game and when he's good he's unbeatable but the other guys have to take advantage when he isint
