Tiger is not lucky

Well then maybe you shouldn't believe and repeat everything you hear like some kind of parrot while trying to appear as if you know what your are talking about. (that is a good tip for almost all of humanity btw) Anyway, your nonsense statement certainly doesn't give any credibility to the delusion that Tiger is any luckier than anyone else. I would like to see someone else give defending that a shot.

Tiger's expression on missing shots today and yesterday seemed to reflect a disappointment in the lack of good fortune he has so often experienced elsewhere. Like he is "entitled" to the kind of luck he has had in the past.

I am anything but alone in believing he has had more than his share of good luck. He was just another very very good player there today, and clearly superior to anyone else out there now. But that doesn't change my mind about so many extraordinary putts and chipins exceeding statistical likelihood even factoring in all that skill.

entitled? really? Sergio's comments after blowing the Open last year had a sense of entitlement to them. Tiger knows that if he gives it his best and comes up short, thats all he can do. "Trying" harder when you are already giving it your all doesn't help. His body language was just him saying that he was laying it all out there and it wasn't good enough today(the last two rounds really). If he had a sense of entitlement he would have been terse during his post round interview. Any dissapointment he had was surely just that his best this week wasn't good enough(like it usually is). The genius that Earl and Kultida Woods had raising Tiger was that they instilled in him that its ok to fail, as long as you gave it 100%. Most people would either not try at all(so as to prevent the pain of failure) or blame their failures on something else(ala Sergio at the Open "this always happens to me!").

What defies all statistical likelihood is the notion that he is consistently luckier than the rest of the field.

Jack Nicklaus is still the luckiest golfer ever with 18 majors, and Sam Snead is maybe the second luckiest with over 80 wins. So maybe if Tiger Woods can statisically defy the field this year and the other 6 billion people on the planet in the grand lottery that is known as the Masters, then he can approach Nicklaus' luckyness.

Tiger must not be allowed in Vegas.

Not. I did not make that statement. Someone's playing games.
