Pain free Tiger can win again. People keep saying he lost his mental toughness, but the dude has had four back surgeries. He was hurt and couldn't practice the way he needed to. That is why he struggled. If it was mental he wouldn't have won Player of the Year after everything went south in his personal life.
If he can get healthy I think he can compete in the majors where more skill is involved on tough courses/setup.
How many majors is Tiger winning next year? Two? Three?
I love how no one can quit this guy. Golf is in such a great spot with so many young awesome players, this guy posts a video of stinger and we all freak out. Friggen Tiger. Can't wait for him to tee it up.
It is not a popular opinion, but I think a healthy Tiger Woods can compete with this group of young guns at The Masters. And I'll be watching every round if he is there. Tiger had all the different shots, so even if he loses a few he'll still be on par with most of the competition. He may lose a little distance but I don't think a significant amount. His last drive before his layoff was over 300 yards I believe.

321, I believe.
Lot of scar tissue to work off, but he seems to be in a better place than he has been in a long time and he has CLEARLY been doing more than he has let on. You don't go from smooth 3/4 6 irons to stingers with an extremely nice swing in 2 weeks or so.
Played golf today. The course did a great job of getting leaves off of the fairways. I did a terrible job of getting the golf balls on the fairways. Many a lost ball.

Nice. I'm playing tomorrow. Should be 65 degrees and sunny when I tee off. Perfect golf weather!
Seriously thinking about going to the Hero. When I saw it on tv last year the gallery was almost non-existent so should be super easy to get a good view. The field so far:
Tiger Woods, Justin Thomas, Spieth, Koepka, Dustin, Hideki, Fowler, Day, Rose, Kuchar, Leishman, Reed, and some others.
Tiger coming back on 11/30 for the Hero World Challenge
fuck tiger.
coming back for a “tournament” without a cut. maybe another 17th place finish will convince him to hang it up for good.

I don't know if any of you guys follow club pro guy on twitter, a mock account of a low level club pro. It's pretty hilarious. Regardless, no laying up had a pretty amazing podcast with him. It's pretty friggen hilarious.
Tried to hit a hero shot with the ball sitting on a tree root. I close the face to hit a hook. Instead the ball shoots left right away, hits the tree and bounces straight back into my skull. Ouch! Got a nice little bruise out of it.
Teed off this morning with a 17 degree windchill. Greens were crunchy. Surprised the course let me on. Got three 18's in today though on three different courses and one I had wanted to play for a long time. Cold weather = fast rounds! Awesome day.

Tiger's back! Ha.
Tiger is hitting driver now. My guess is he is training to be just good enough to participate in sponsor activities.
Just got an update saying he can resume all golf activities without restrictions...

That positon at the top. That stinger. That club twirl. Sweet baby jesus
Last night I made the Masters theme song my ring tone.
That is dedication.

Sounds like a great way to spend a Saturday.
We got rain today and cold weather on the horizon.
WOW!

Yeah but I wasn't expecting him to try and play so soon. Wasn't this after Christmas last year?

He did have the most birdies that week.
Boom! Mic drop.
Lesson: Don't be a hero. Use the foot wedge.
