    Poor baby's PED use is coming back to bite him. Pity.

    A buddy of mine became the first avid golf fan I know that now doesn't think Tiger will win another major in his career. That was even before the news today.

    Does that mean I get to extend my bet with whomever I made a bet with months ago re: Tiger would win at least 2 majors in, what was it, 18 months?

    Who was it who said they'd buy me a round of golf if Tiger didn't break Jack's record?

    Next time you're in the Bay Area, we're playing Pebble. I'll drive.

    18 seconds apart ... get out of my wavelength of thought!
     
  8. You better have some facts to back that up mister!

    Xan, it was you! Was that our bet, two in 18 months? I thought it was about breaking the record.

    Either way, I like my odds. As we've discussed quite a bit, Tiger has gone longer since his last major win than Jack did before the '86 Masters. He done.

    That has been a popular opinion here and elsewhere for quite a while.

    Well then. If it's just breaking the record, he'll still do it. Or maybe not.

    But he *will* win at least 2 more majors. I think that was the bet: 2 majors in 18 months.
