Tiger Woods To Leave Golf

KingDL1 · December 12, 2009

A report on the website of the world's number one golfer Friday evening said he was taking an "indefinite" leave from the game of golf.

Unbelievable, oh well I we will see, if he really does quit. I imagine some of the sponsors maybe getting ready to sue.

CMJ · December 12, 2009

He's not leaving for good. He'll probably be back within a year would be my guess.

Shock titles always get more hits.

We don't need quitters.

We don't need quitters.

Agreed. I hate them.

Your prediction jumped the shark right there. I've always disliked the man, but Tiger could go from right now to Thursday morning at Augusta National without touching a golf club and make the cut in his sleep.

Ya, but how many chicks does he score off (or on, for that matter) the course during this time period?

I happen to think Tiger will miss the cut at the Masters and if I'm wrong I'll take my lumps

>100.

That's why I don't have sex or play golf. If I have to hit it more than 100 times, my back goes out.

Word to the wise: When proclaiming willingness to accept lumps, make sure your assertion cannot be proven 100% one way or the other.

EagleGreen · December 15, 2009

I'm thinking he will be back right before the Master's too. Anyone think he will be out longer than a year?

KRAM1 · December 15, 2009

At this point...I don't think anyone knows, including Tiger.

Green Mean · December 15, 2009

I don't think he's a quitter. In a matter of a few days his life has taken a 180. If you ask me that just goes to show how spare golf is to the masses without Tiger. Golf is crapping some serious diarrhea in their pants right now. Good for Tiger. Let the fire go down, try to get some of his life back together and just be normal now. I think when he comes back he will win like crazy.

Methinks he will be inspired to get back out on the course sometime in the near future. Call it a hunch.

There is a prenup, total out at $50 million I heard, but Tiger said he would increase it $70 I was told. I think most could get buy on $50 million and I am sure she will get child support.

That's what I was thinking. The hit to his bank account (I just can't imagine this dude hurting for money)plus his affinity for wanting to win the most majors. Earlier today I heard a report that she was wanting $300 million (HOLY GOLF BALLS!).

The worst NBA player ever disagrees.

You are correct about the prenup. I was actually thinking about the hit he's gonna take when the major sponsorships dry up. He'll still endorse products, but I don't think he'll get the 8 or 9 figure mega deals he was used to. This whole thing has become a TMZ-esque Feeding Frenzy in a way that Kobe's little 'incident' never did. He might have to spend the next couple years living off just his tournament winnings (well, that and interest on his Gabillion dollar bank account; poor guy).
