Why Rory will never be Tiger

[wilt the stilt]

HUMBLE, Texas – Rory McIlroy waited until Tuesday morning to send a text message to Tiger Woods. He figured his buddy and fellow swoosh purveyor was a little busy on Monday evening following his third victory of the season, a triumph that allowed Woods to pass him on the Official World Golf Ranking and placed golf fans into a frenzy just two weeks prior to the Masters.

So McIlroy slept on his congratulatory remarks, then fired out a text before Woods teed it up in the Tavistock Cup, telling him, “Well done.” The two bantered back and forth electronically for a few minutes until Tiger offered some unsolicited advice in advance of this week’s Shell Houston Open.

"He told me to get my finger out of my a-- and win this week,” Rory reported with a smile.
When asked Tuesday if it’s a relief to not have the weight of the world ranking resting upon his shoulders, the 23-year-old acquiesced.

“I guess at the minute, yeah,” he said. “It’s nice to just go about my business and no one cares, go about it and not be the most talked about person in golf. It’s a nice thing.”

Can anyone here imagine Tiger saying this. That he was glad that he wasn't number one.

This is like MJ sending a congratulatory text to Isiah. No effin' way.

Tiger's dad taught him to be the Black guy who beat every white guy like a drum in a "white man's sport".. That is why he is obsessed.

1. Well, Tiger DID say that this would be his year

because he was at his happiest and healthiest ever. Sounds like Rory is just reading the writing on the wall.

P.S: "Humble," Texas? REALLY???

2. Why? Because Rory's in a committed relationship and doesn't sleep with anything that moves?
