Our Favorite Tiger-Isms, to Celebrate the GOAT's 49th Birthday

We won't belabor the point, because it's only going to remind us how old we're getting, but today is Tiger Woods' 49th birthday. And to mark the occasion, Skratch's Dan Rapaport took a deep dive into the archives to explore one thing we feel Woods doesn't get enough credit for, amid all the credit he gets for all the things.

And that is his contributions to our on-course (or on-couch) vocabulary. Without Tiger, we might not understand that there are, in fact, dozens of ways to describe a left-to-right ball flight.
