Is Tiger Done as a Pro

Looks like he has lost the mental toughness.
Wonder if his injuries r due to his swing style or aggressiveness in it.

should be mental toughness gone due to injuries... Probably depression soon if he cant control and comfort himself for his current scores.

anyway injuries really can cause a lot of mental blocks. So its not gonna easy to back on track

Well Rory is back! But Tiger's back?

At this high level of competitive sports. all are very prone to injury , one time or another. look at the tennis circuit, pass 30 most of them are over the hill, mostly retired!
the way these guys are swinging in golf nowadays, i am not surprise their natural career will be shorter than previous genarations of golfer ! Rory ave drive 320 yds? Bubba hit 424 yd. Unreal !

lol.. core muscle made of rubber....

how do 1 expect to recover fully if a certain part is removed from your spine?

i think that's the end for tiger.

lol... but the joints, ligament, cartilage cant keep up !

Several years ago ... Tom Watson almost created the ultimate fairy tale in golf by leading the Open going into the final hole at the age of 59 ... till this day I wonder what would have happened if his shot into the green at just stopped at the back fringe instead of rolling through the green and off the slope on the other side

Tiger Wood's physical condition is very different now to when he was at his prime, the question is whether he is able to adapt ... perhaps trying at 38 to have the same "explosiveness" that he has been used to previously might not be the best approach ... but then again, he has 14 Majors and I will be happy shooting 14 over, so who am I to comment ...

Let's not forget ... he was in pretty good form in 2013 ... I would not write him off just yet

Only 3 tournaments....not very indicative.

He still has the mojo in him.

Can still very much see the passion in the eyes of the tiger.

Since he has nothing to prove except the break the 18 majors which jack Nicolas have set. At 38, I believe he still have many more years to go unless he has to retire from golf due to his ever deterring health.

Not sure if I am alone, but di see that he is more at ease with himself..  In the Open and WGC, he broke a smile or two on several occasions, and he seems to acknowledge the crowd more.. Hardly the ultra focused and uptight golfer that he used to be.. May have kan pwoh hong Chen and take it more easy nowadays.., I am sure he will not wither away though. He was and is too good for that..

His domineering aura is gone forever after his sexual transgression in 2009 ... Sad to say that he is no longer the red shirted Tiger whom his peers feared on Sunday final round especially when he was in contention ... I would be very happy for him just to clinch 1 or 2 more Major Championships before he hangs his golf clubs for good one day but seeing him breaking Jack Nicklaus's 18 Majors record is almost like finding a needle in the haystack considering the fitness condition he is in now ... Well, unless he can be 100% fit again to continue to play top level professional golf for another 10 years ...  Not forgetting that he is already 38 years of age ...  

rheumatism cannot be cured by physical operation....

I think his best days are over. 
Back then, other players play for 2nd spot and he had this huge invincible aura surrounding him. 
Now, it seems he is fighting aging issues in a seemingly uphill battle.
His new swing looks awkward.   He looks awkward too on the course.
Having said that, he will still win more PGA titles.
But for majors, I cant be sure as he looks more like any other mortal pro out there.    
I do hope that I'm wrong.
