We use the phrase 'tiger line' for a golf shot that is straight over trouble, usually directed straight to the flag. High risk, high reward type strategy; i.e. in this situation, what would tiger do?

There's some validity to that, I imagine. Woods can be (especially in his early days) almost foolish in his shot selection. I say almost because more often than not, he was able to pull it off. I think he was experimenting with his skills, learning his limitations. Michelle Wie does this too, but fails. (But she'll find her stride, and pretty soon, I think).
Me, I don't opt for the tiger line. More like the chicken line...

Before Tiger it would have been called either "stupid" or "hoping for a miracle". He pulls off shots others are afraid to even attempt (except for Phil Mikelson, and we all know where that usually ends up)

i'm particular God gets distinctive courtroom circumstances each and each 2d, minute and hour extensive-unfold from a guy or woman whilst a chum dies. I merely examine that his spokesperson stated he's now in good condition and released out the well-being facility. and costs are being sought. Like somebody suggested, there is greater to this tale.

You can adapt this to practically any golfer who was considered to take chances on his shot making, particularly Ballesteros and prior to him, Palmer.
However the biggest risk taker was possibly Ben Hogan, in the 1953 Open at Carnoustie, when in all four days of play he took the narrowest route on a particularly difficult hole, in attrocious weather in order to gain advantage. The route he took was referred to as "Hogan's Alley", and since then most tight lines are referred to as such. Especially if there's an O.O.B in the equation.

the phrase for awhile it was 'tin cup'. the reference to the movie of the same name. the main character, Shawn Costner's nickname. anyway....at the end of the movie he always goes for the high risk high reward shot...the reason he owns (going bankrupt) at a crappy driving range in dirt hole Texas while his nemesis plays it safe and is one of the best on tour. watch the movie it explains itself. also starring Rene Russo, cheech Marin, and don Johnson
