    Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer of all time. Hard to argue not top 3. Go ahead and make fun of him like it makes your life any better.

    Looks like a nice swing and the shorter back swing should definitely help his back, but that is a very very slow swing. Granted, I am sure he wasn't going all out, but he's gotta be a whole hell of a lot more powerful than that to compete on tour. Haney in the background in some of the videos. Hasn't really tweeted anything since and just said it is slower than on course speed.

    Maybe he's accepted the fact that he needs to sacrifice distance for accuracy at his age...

    Yeah, that's fine if it's possible, but he'd need his putting stroke back big time and tough to see that. I hope so, man. I just want to watch the guy play golf but I am getting less and less hopeful by the day. I just have a hard time seeing him compete against guys like Rory, Day and DJ while sacrificing 50+ yards to them

    If anyone can do it, it's the greatest golfer we've ever seen.

    As disappointing as it is for him to withdraw this week, I think it's an encouraging sign that he still won't come back until he's 100% ready.

    I definitely agree on all of this. He needs some of that swagger back though too.

    Should be dialed in to tear up the Champions Tour. I'd love to see him get that 17th major, but I don't think we'll see him win again, Hes a head case.

    Tiger admitted that he won't be getting to 18 majors. Edit: Or hold up, he's saying he's going to win more than 18, maybe? haha

    Yeah, dude. I feel like he'd have a lot of balls to say that then come back and blade chips. Here's to hoping he's got it.

    Good stuff from Rory on the No Laying Up podcast this morning.

    Talking about how hard winning 4 majors is.

    "If DJ and Day win three more majors they get to me. If I win three more majors I get to Arnold Palmer."

    "I am excited to make my return at the Hero World Challenge at Albany and play in this terrific tournament," Woods said in a statement released Tuesday. "This is our 18th year, and every year we put together a top field that showcases the best golfers from the previous season. Albany is an outstanding setting, and I can't thank Hero MotoCorp enough for their support of the tournament and my foundation."

    The annual tournament will also boast three of this year's major championship winners in Dustin Johnson, Henrik Stenson and Jimmy Walker, defending champion Bubba Watson and 2014 Hero Challenge winner Jordan Spieth.

    Played golf Sunday morning in 45 degree temps. Beautiful day for golf! I actually prefer that weather to 95 and humid. Shot a personal best 86 too, which was lovely.

    I used those black winter gloves on both hands. Anyone use these? They worked surprisingly well. Highly recommend.

    Pretty good actually.

    When you go into the season with zero expectations, this is kind of what you expect. September was a lot of fun though!
