Breaking News: Tiger Woods is by far and away the best golfer on the planet right now. Does anyone want to argue with that? Oh, what's that you say Ian Poulter? You think you are as good as Tiger? Whaaaaaaaaaa? Yes, it's true. Young Poulter, the 22nd ranked golfer in the world was interviewed by Golf World Magazine before this weekend's Dubai Desert Classic and he basically said that he is the only man in the world that can compete with Woods. Here's what the 32 year old British jamoke said:
"The trouble is I don't rate anyone else...Don't get me wrong, I really respect every professional golfer, but I know I haven't played to my full potential and when that happens, it will be just me and Tiger"
The Englishman, asked by the magazine to predict the winner of the first major of the season at the Masters in April, replied: "Put Tiger down for that one." For the year's second major at the U.S. Open, he said: "You can put me down for that one."
Alllllright, buddy. How have you not reached your potential yet? You're 32 years old! Did you know that you are the same age as Tiger? Maybe he hasn't reached his potential yet either?
In this magazine, Poulter is pictured almost completely nude except for a golf bag covering his....uhhhh golf balls. I didn't post it for fear that some of my colleagues would enjoy it too much.
The point is, has Ian Poulter ever done this???

That's from the Masters, which Tiger has won 4 times. How many green jackets have you won Mr. P?? Oh yeah, zero. Talk to me when you win a major, son.

I see we have found the next Rory Sabbatini. Hey Ror, how'd that work out for you?
Here's the thing. This chump says that you can write him down as the winner of the US Open this year? Is he aware that the Open is at Torrey Pines-South golf course? Yes, the same course that annually holds the Buick Invitational, a tournament that Tiger has won 4 straight years and 6 overall. He just capped off another win this weekend by 8 strokes. Our homeboy Ian didn't even compete.
People like this frustrate me. I think it's great that he has the confidence to not be intimidated by Tiger and attempt to challenge him, but don't be a jackass about it. I love that Tiger doesn't even feel compellled to respond to assertions like that. He probably just laughs them off as he shines another trophy or picks up another jacket from the cleaners.
