    Tiger is hitting driver now.   My guess is he is training to be just good enough to participate in sponsor activities.

    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.

    JT is making bank. Goes and wins a cool $1.7 mil in this tourney in South Korea.

    I was watching some of that last night.  Pretty nice field they had for that tourney.  Not a bad way for JT to go into the offseason.

    Awesome.  Seems like he'll be ready for the masters next year if he doesn't reinjure himself.

    Yes sir. He'll always be the best imo. Would love to see him come back, win a few tourneys and tell all the haters to piss off

    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.

    No Laying Up has a real good talk with G Mac up.  Always liked him.

    Already psyched for the Masters and it is a long time away.  Glad they are moving The Players up in the schedule a couple years from now.

    That is dedication.

    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!

    Sounds like a great way to spend a Saturday.

    We got rain today and cold weather on the horizon.
