Tiger had knee surgery yesterday. Out for a month.....

same knee as lasdt time. Like I said before, injuries will prevent him form being the all time best. You must have longjevity to accomplish that title and I dont see him playing for more than 3 more years.

with today's technology, i would have to think they can make it last much longer than than 3 years. How long has Bonds been stringing along with the knee problems he has had.

He will play longer than that b/c his number one and only goal is to be the best golfer in history. He doesn't give two ***** about the money or anything else (& he shouldn't b/c his golf winnings ain't jack compared to his endorsement deals). He is driven like no other athlete I have seen in a while. He has completely restructured his swing twice already. There is no way he will quit in 3 years unless he wins six majors in that time frame.

Tiger is only 32. He'll play at least 10 more years, probably 15 before you see him get to the point where he's not quite the dominant golfer in the world.

Phil Mickelson is 37. Vijay Singh is 45. Ernie Els is 38.

None of those guys are in as good of shape as Tiger. None of them put in the same level of effort for training/conditioning, and each of them is still playing at a level where they are capable of winning majors, even though they are all older than Tiger.

Tiger will win at least one major after his 40th birthday, probably more than that. He's got plenty of good years still ahead.

Tiger will play for nine more years, then he will replace Obama and become our first cyborg president.

 

[Woof Man Jack]

3 years? Hilarious.

 

[saltybulldog]

he will be building/designing golf courses. That is, if he will ever start answering the emails i send him.

 

[Xenomorph]

..he'll probably never win again.

 

[Spotdawg]

was only a scope job to remove miniscus. Are you kidding? 4 weeks to be back....possibly 6? Only if he gets a staph infection. Worse comes to worst and he has a knee replacement after another 2 or 3 surgeries? He could still play...after he gets over the 6 month "pain-fest" of post op and rehab. No bump in the road for Tiger.

He will play at least another 10 to 12 years because there is no way that he can turn that "motor" off.

 

[State82]

It will take more than 3 years to do that in all probability. Although not many more. I think he plays at least 10 more years.

I think he plays for a long time, well into his 50s if he can. Unless something dramatic changes with his demeanor (getting married and having kids hasn't seemed to change anything), then he'll play for a long time. He's way too competitive and way too dedicated to his sport. It's somewhat like Michael Jordan. Even when he thought he could turn it off and retire, he couldn't, coming back twice after retirement.

It's impossible to predict the future, but I just don't see Tiger stopping anytime in the near future. And honestly I expect him to win roughly 25 majors before he's finished. Also it wouldn't shock me to see him pull off a Masters or something crazy in his 50s.
