Hell, the devil offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the world. Tiger only got a house, a boat, a plane and a blonde.
Bigger picture....Yesterday Tiger shot five over in his first nine holes and quit.
Fed Ex Cup standings, he's second from last place. After this week he'll fall off the board.And WHAT exactly is so fascinating about last week's and the week before's winners?
And my rule proves out again at the Honda. McIlroy - the "next Tiger Woods" - goes into Sunday with a two stroke lead, increases it to 3, then shoots craps. Lost in a playoff.
Tiger was a singular talent. The only thing that will keep him from the top again is an injury (or two). Can't golf at that level with a bad back.
McIlroy is capable of making incredible shots at any time, from anywhere on the golf course. But winning at golf in the PGA requires superhuman consistency.
I recall a time not so long ago when Mr. Woods had made something like 260 consecutive putts from 3' or less. And as any golfer knows, this is "superhuman consistency."
I agree with you (more or less) completely; the approach shot is what separates the best from the good. But still, making all those short putts without a single miss is superhuman.
A three foot gimme is like a Mulligan on every hole. Play the game by the rules or try bowling. A super human doesn't shoot five over in nine holes. Super humans don't use excuses, like a bad back. Super humans don't quit because they are in last place.

Bad back...pft. How about Lindsey Vonn waitin necked in the Gulfstream..
Three feet is a "gimme"? Are you kidding? I don't know anybody who would give that putt, unless it is to finish off an 8 on the hole. I use the bushel-basket rule. If a ball finishes within the diameter of a bushel basket (about a foot) I will concede it, unless it is for a birdie. Then you always have to put it in the hole.
Where scores actually count, there are no conceded putts. There is always a chance that a foot mark or something will divert the ball, and the putt would miss.
In my wife's league (all women) there are NO conceded putts. Ever.
Four golfers, one of them an attractive young woman, are playing their customary Saturday morning round. The girl is playing the best golf of her life. She gets more and more excited as the round goes along, saying that this might be the best round of her LIFE!
As they line up their putts on the 18th green, she is looking at a twelve footer, over a ridge and down to a hole. The green is very fast, and if she misses the putt she will be off the green. She tells the other guys that if she makes this putt it will be the best round of her life. If one of them can give her a clue as to how to make the putt she will give them the best BJ they've ever had. Golfer #2 says, "Aim left about 3 feet. Golfer #1 says, "Wrong, aim for the center of the cup." Golfer #3 looks at her and quickly says, "Pick it up, it's a gimme!"
