Question:
No Way!!! Those are his *trademark*. Besides that, he’s one of the few golfers to wear appropriate clothing and sunglasses to prevent premature skin aging and perhaps cancer. We should ALL be wearing shades and hats (well, I do already). And he’ll never be #1 until he loses those stupid sunglasses!
Duval has said he started wearing sunglasses in college because of a high pollen count and the effects of wind. He also wears contacts. He said they help keep his eyes clean and help him keep focussed. Seems to work

Big difference in the fist-pumping realm. Tiger does it over anything and for a while, it was often. It’s always got a lot of mustard on it and he always has this sneering scowl on his face. Duval is normally restrained and not at all into histrionics. He had just accomplished something that 2 other players in the big leagues have done. In the history of PGA golf. I saw a deal on SportsCenter trying to draw a comparison to other sports. Much more rare than the 4 HR game. Compares with the 20 strike-out game. More rare than 70 point NBA game. More rare than 250 yds rushing game in the NFL. More rare than the 6 goal game in the NHL. Finally, he had a smile on his face and was high-fiving with his caddie. Big difference. Tiger is pure arrogance. (I don’t sign balls.) Duval is one of the boys. YMMV.

Ken YoYo brings up an excellent point. Your criticism of Duval’s fist-pumping after holing out for 59 is conspicuous by its absence. Gee, there were even other players on the green who had not yet holed their putts. Hardly seems sporstmanlike to me. As for the World Rankings, there is much speculation that the mathmatical formula used to determine it will begin to come under much closer scrutiny this year, especially with all the World Golf Championship tournaments. I have to agree with you that everyone knows who’s the number one player in the world — everyone, that is, except those who publish the rankings. But remember, it’s a two-year rolling formula. And after Augusta this year, Tiger’s one major win (the one jewel in the crown Duval is missing right now) will roll off. Then, it’s mano-a-mano, and at the moment, the one burning question in the golf world is, "Tiger WHO?" Randy

Is that true? I thought he let the other guys putt out first. — "…and there are plenty of people joining in to help Tiger Woods find his tee shot." -Mike Tirico
Response:
when duval was pumping his fist, the other players and their caddies were shaking his hand. if tig i mean eldrick can ever break 60 he`ll be allowed to pump his fist also how many times have you seen that jerk bury his wood in the tee ,just before the next guy has tohit.( very sportsman like) or bury his wedge in the fairway like a little baby. after all a shitload of different golfers have won majors but only THREE have broken 60, and only ONEon a sunday. so that has to be worth something .
Response:
gee I’ve never seen any other pro golfer do that <S why are you so hard on Tiger, from your posts I get the feeling that you are alot like him on or off the course.

Response:
I would bet that he goes to number one with the sunglasses.

Response:
Y’know, that’s the main reason I am not a Tiger fan. I think a golfer of his talent should play as many tournaments as most of the other golfers. The fans at the smaller-venue tournaments should be able to see the top golfers too. It gives me a Prima Donna impression. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Well there is nothing wrong with the rankings but if Duval really wanted to be No. 1 then he shouldn’t play so many tourneys. Thats why his points average 0.2 points behind Woods. Crispin Roche
Response:
That’s why I wear them too (contacts). I played the other day with overcast skies and didn’t wear them. My lenses got so dried out I could hardly see coming up the 9th fairway. Ran to my car between sides and got them. World of difference on the back.

I’ve thought of that since IMG runs the world golf rankings (formerly Sony – which is probably why Ozaki was in the top ten for years, but I digress). It’d be very interesting doing an audit on the system. May turn up a little tweaking in favor of the IMG stable. Scott
