Resurrecting Tiger

[chrisrenrut]

Tiger made the most birdies of the tournament this last week (24). I'm willing to bet he also made the most double bogies (I think at least 4). He's shown a lot of his old game. I think he can win again if he stays healthy and doesn't really push it too much physically. You can tell in his new swing there's a lot less movement in his lower body, which should help with his back and knee issues.

This was my thought as well. If he can maintain himself physically and mentally, he has the tools to get back to a very high level of play. But that is a big "if".

I care. My interest is directly proportional to the number of confirmed bangs.

i'm guessing you're a huge macho man randy savage fan then?

Loved that dude. He and Hogan teaming up was epic.

About what I expected from Tiger yesterday. Can't hit a fairway and it kills him. All day yesterday Faldo is talking about how Tiger is setting up for a little fade and then tries to draw it and just makes a mess of it. Also i thought it was interesting how he said there are 20 guys on tour now who can beat Tiger at his best as compared to only two in his hey day, Els and Mickelsen, who could play with him. In his prime nobody was beating Tiger at his best and he will never be that player again but I think he was just pointing out how much deeper golf is today than it was even ten years ago.

Tiger's chances of making the cut not looking too good at this point. He's tied for 130 at +5. Top 70 make the cut. DJ, Rickie, Day and Matsuyama are also outside of the cut. Phil is right on the line.

Zac Blair is T5 and so is Hunter Mahan (!?).

Poor CBS, I can just hear Nance now, sorry no Tiger or Dustin for you this weekend but how about some Jonas Blixt and Adam Hadwin. Golf Channel numbers will be higher yesterday and today then they will be for CBS over the weekend.

Interviewing Tiger Friday about his round he said he struggled but this week wasn't a loss, it's all about getting ready for that week in April. I don't even think he believes he has a chance at Augusta but he must feel like he needs to sound like the old Tiger since he can't play like the old Tiger. He's such a dick.

Tiger withdraws from round 2 of the Dubai Desert Classic. Shot a 77 in round one and looked visibly tight walking down the fairway. Then claimed spasms in his back in round 2 .

So much for all that money Bridgestone and Taylormade threw at him. He can't even stay on the course.

I'd hate to see what the News of the World could come up with, if the AP and the NY Post can use that one.

Tiger out again for the next two tournaments....

I hope Bridgestone and Taylormade had a performance clause in their endorsement agreements.

Tiger out for season again, has fourth back surgery in four years.

Woods won five events in 2013 and was named PGA Tour Player of the Year. Since then, he has as many top-25 finishes as back surgeries.

L5-S1 fusion. Yuck. Better than a multi-level, of course, but any lumbar fusion is going to be really tough to come back from for a golfer, IMO. I wonder if hostile has any thoughts.

"The surgery went well, and I'm optimistic this will relieve my back spasms and pain," Woods said in a statement on his website. "When healed, I look forward to getting back to a normal life, playing with my kids, competing in professional golf and living without the pain I have been battling so long."

I think he should just be honest with himself and say he's done. He's had a twenty year run and he was never going to play the Senior Tour.
