The Masters

Thank God Auntie Beeb haven't flown Lineker out this year. Have they finally realised how bad he is at presenting golf? More Hazel I say!

She's got that twinkle in her eye that suggests she's a demon between the sheets. Or perhaps, that's just my wishful thinking.

Lovely accent too.

That was a stinging rebuke from Augusta re the Role Model speech at the start. Also said some fans were jeering him. Only himself to blame but give him his due played some cracking golf. Great to see oldies giving the younger generation a few lessons on how its done. Have to say always thought Hazel was a cracker! she can come and comment on my swing anytime Oh and Gary, stick to crisps mate

Hope Tiger wins it.Greatest sportsman ever.

More like the greatest shameless self promoting mercenary ever. What sort of bloke uses their dead father to enhance his family man image to make a few extra bob?

What he's done in the sporting world... bearing in mind the sport he's in and the racist barriers put up against him as a young kid, the difficulty he faced at that time just to get a round of golf! and the success he's had in his career i think makes him untouchable in sporting terms. Tiger's dad was unbelievably hard on him as a kid and didn't allow him a life outwith the golf range. I would make a comparison to the way Michael Jackson was raised. Look at the troubles he faced in his adult life. I can't defend what he's done to his family and many fans but all he can do is try to rebuild broken bridges and get back to doing what he does best. Playing golf.

There is no doubting Tigers credentials as a golfer and as a competitor. Though I dont think he is any where near the greatest sportsmen ever. Pele in football and Taylor in darts are/were better and are/more dominant in their craft than he is. Lance Armstrong in Cycling dominated his sport more than tiger has done so far. Also I feel that tigers behaviour on the course as well as off the course has a lot be desired. He spits, he does not acknowledge the crowd, nor does he honour the competition he is playing in by staying behind to congratulate the winner when he is not in contention.

I know this is going to upset a few people. Darts is not a sport. It is a pub pastime.

these things are all just opinion but anything that requires co-ordination and being able to hold your game together under severe pressure in my eyes is a sport regardless of the athleticism and fitness needed to perform it.
