He COULD but I don't see how its possible. Vijay posted sooo many wins last year how is it possible to catch him so quickly?

If Tiger finished top 4 at the Nissan Open, he would have already been ranked #1

I think Eldrick will be pissed and was embarassed with last weekend's early exit that he'll come back strong, usually has in the past.

I just don't see how anyone has any business suggesting Eldrick has done near enough to catch Vijay. Try to remember Vijay won 9 times last year and also posted several more seconds and countless top tens. In a ranking system that takes into account the past three years worth of play (need I remind you that Eldrick hasn't dominated like Vijay just did since 2000) I can't see anyone having the chance to catch Vijay till around June after winning a couple o majors or something. By the way.... Davis actually is the best player!:p

It's not a question of us suggesting anything, it's a mathmetical fact, if Tiger would have finished in the top 4 at the Nissan, Tiger would have taken over the #1. The numbers/positions have changed for this weekend, and Tiger can still take over the #1 spot, Check it out here:

Tiger can take over #1 if he finishes in 1st or 2nd and VJ finished no higher than 5th...otherwise, its another week as number 1 for VJ!!! What a strong field this week. Hard to pick for the pool. Doral is known for 1st time winners in the past. Perhaps a no namer will win? Kevin Na is it!! GO VJ GO!

Here's something else u may not know.....the name Tiger was given by his father in honour of his Vietnamese friend "Tiger" when Tiger's father was stationed in Vietnam during the war. It was later found after some time that his friend died during the war.

How could you NOT pick Toms. Clearly the man is on fire. Everyone ALWAYS picks Tiger. You bunch of lilly livered band wagon jumpers, stop riding Tigers' back. He he he;)

It won't be long untill Tiger is Number one again. He definately has the most drive to be the best with VJ being a very close second. Tiger seems to have the will to just get it done when others who haven't got they're best game that week would have just plodded along. If nothing else, I have to give credit where its due.

Finally VJ is somewhere on the leaderboard as it stands right now...maybe we'll see him at the leaderboard 1 out of every 4 tournaments....which isn't too bad for an avg PGA player :rofl: (hope u guys can also see the sarcasm i this!)

Scott and Love III is at +3...they are no where close to the cut line (projected cut -3) this week is a very strong field, all the golfers have to bring their A game to the course!!! This is going to be a great weekend in Florida!

The showdown between Phil & Tiger will be one to remember !!!

I think Tiger's back!!! :help:

Look out Phil :confused:

EDSGolf

Mar 5, 2005, 06:35 PM

It's going to be real interesting to see how Phil reacts if Tiger plays really well, I just hope it's not over after nine holes, lets see them tied going to the Blue Monster (#18). NBC must be licking their chops.

Mar 5, 2005, 10:31 PM

this is sweet, Mickelson vs. Woods, what a match-up!!! i'll be glued to the tube tomorrow afternoon...

i'll have to miss CIS mens volleyball finals...(i'll record it)

looks like Vijay is not going down quietly, he's making a charge!! it's going to be tough for Tiger to retake his world #1 ranking if he doesn't win at Doral today!

Toms is also smoking out there! Tied with Vijay for 3rd right now...this is a heck of an afternoon!

Phil & Tiger are really dueling out there!

The saying "Drive for show, Putt for dough!" is so true after Phil's miss on 16 and Tiger's putt on 17th. Tiger deserves it! Nice come back. :)

Phil's chip on the 18th??? :eek: how did that stay out??? :confused:

Next up The Honda classic!

just some really bad luck. that looked in. even on the replays, it looks like it's dropping. can you imagine extra holes? that would have been such a bonus. :D

it was a great Sat. round in the back nine by Tiger...I was watching every hole..the swagger is BACK!

Even GREATER Sunday final showdown...it honestly felt more match play-ish than stroke play..even Phil in the post-game interviews kept referring to it as a 'match' .......:clap:
