Tigers definitely one of a kind.
I’m glad.
Poor Rocco - he had a strong surge on the back 9 and then Tiger birdied the 18th hole. Tiger is amazing and will easily become the first billionaire athlete. That’s a lot of cash.
I was fortune enough to be able to stream the open at work.
It was an amazing round. And the quickest 18 holes I’ve ever watched!
I’m sorry for Rocco … but Tiger is just so good. I enjoy watching him win.

How come Tiger Woods always give credit to his father, what about his mother???
His mother can’t hit a 9 iron. Sorry.
Are you all saying his mother didn’t contribute anything to his success? Or Tiger didn’t get any of her genes?? I just want the mom to get some credit. Maybe she didn’t give him the strength to hit a 9 iron but maybe the smarts to know how or when to use it.
His mother was smart and caring enough to LET his Dad be a good dad and teach him. And from everything I’ve seen and heard, his dad taught him well, and not just golf, but about life too.
Robert, davewolfgang is right. Tiger hugs his mother and gives her the respect she deserves. But she wasn’t the one out there on the golf course when he was 3 years old, teaching him the game and instilling in him the competitive fire that has served him well.
So you all are saying the mom didn’t contribute any genes that helped his golf skills. That Tiger’s talents were all taught to him by his father, he didn’t have any inherited talents or smarts. Come on, you can only learn so much, you have to have some natural talents to succeed.
He thanked his mom for all the sandwiches and lemonade lunches she made for the two and, most importantly, for not interfering and staying out of his way!
Well, now is the time to play the “reverse race card”. You all are saying that all the talent Tiger has is from his black father and that he got nothing from his Asian mom—-that’s a bit racist isn’t it. So does that mean “BO” got all his talents from his father including being able to walk away from responsibilities. Oh, your right that happens in the black community all the time.
No one said any such thing, Robert. You are the first to bring race into it.
Tigers father never introduced race into his son’s game.
He taught his son to play, work, win. Tiger Wood’s father taught his son to be a winner.
I knew Tigers father was black. I just learned his mother was Asian (#13) Ho Hum Racism rears it’s ugly head yet I shall overlook it and move on
#13 “and that he got nothing from his Asian mom—-”
she gave him life…isn’t that enough
If Tiger was doing something his mother taught him, or did with him, I’m sure he would thank his mom.
But this was something that was special to him and his father. I’m sure his mother loves the bond that the two shared, and doesn’t feel the least bit slighted.
If you notice, he doesn’t thank his wife either. Who also lets him play the game and offers support. It’s not that he doesn’t appreciate her support, but this is something that he and his Dad shared. And with his dad being gone, I’m sure it’s a way to connect with that memory and keep it close.
