That wasn't an injury, he never claimed it to be. It was just raining and a bit windy, he was playing shite, got the hump and minced off. He was about 11 over after 10 holes, but it was the first round of the Open and everyone was struggling with the conditions. Poor show.
Woods, however, IS struggling with injuries as you say.

I must be mis-remembering then, I was sure he (at least initially) claimed it was a recurrence of an old injury, but was, as you say, lots over after 11 in bad conditions. He did get some stick over it though, I'm sure. I played Singing Hills yesterday and I didn't walk off being 10 over through 11.

Agree entirely. He may have been a truly great golfer but so many other aspects of his character and personality mean he has no class and golf will not miss him when he's gone - TWAT!
Or alternatively, that's exactly what he is doing with more than half an eye on the US Open at 'his' course in a month.
Quite what Seve has to do with your argument I really don't know.
That really is very sad, esp if I assume, when everyone else thought he was the greatest thing ever, you did too.
Turns out the fella was human.

I'd be happy at only being six over after nine holes.
Then again, I only play 4-5 rounds a year and my income doesn't depend on golf.
Woods is obviously not fully fit and in his shoes, I would probably have done the same especially if it meant it ensured that I could carry on for a few more years rather than have to retire.

Was wondering if the bookies would do that. Must be an absolute fortune for them to refund

I think there is a comparison to be made between Woods and Ballesteros, and it isn't favourable for Tiger. Although Woods was more dominant, they were both rare superstars in that sport. But whereas Woods got more and more arrogant and removed from real life, Ballesteros seemed to retain a 'man of the people' thing. That is not easy, it takes years of cultivating, Woods could never spare the time unless it was a big-money sponsor, and he doesn't appear to have changed much.
Since Ballesteros was mentioned, I know they had a big tournament on, but I find it genuinely incredible that no American PGA representative attended the funeral of such a worldwide legend. They could have all chipped just to send one of them if money was that much of an issue to the multi-millionaires. Very poor, seeing as they all go on about how he made them take up the game.

Do you know that there wasn't someone from the USPGA ? The players would not have been able to make it, they are contractually obliged to play at Sawgrass.
As far as the comparision between Tiger and Seve they are reasonable points but I think having been constantly told for 15 years you're the best player there has ever been, anyone would struggle to retain any sense of normality or perspective. Seve never really had that problem, as admired as he was.

One of the BETTER things about golf is that it is a mind game. Occasionally great players are defeated by what's going on in their heads. That only improves the spectacle.

He'll be back winning be the end of the year
In the US he was 17-1, his longest odds since his rookie year.
I'd love to know how much they actually refunded as no serious gambler would have had cash on Tiger @ Sawgrass.
It was a hard enough course on the Megadrive.
Not wishing to go all 'Monty Pyton' but I struggle to see any comparison made between Woods and Ballesteros, you've merely highlighted the contradictions.
Seve wasn't even on the same page as Woods when it comes to actually playing the game, sorry grief chasers.
So never had to deal with the same amount of pressure, whether that be brought on by himself, or forced onto him by media/race/upbringing.
