    Yep, will be interesting.   Wish I could take Thursday off from work  to watch it.

    I'm off Thursday. Planning playing a quick round in the morning and then settling in for a little Tiger Woods action in the afternoon.


    Can't wait

    Tiger is back.  Outdriving DJ last week.  What are your predictions for this week?  18 player field.  I predict a finish of 16th.

    I’m hoping for a “oh, my back/knee” on the 4th hole of round one. he can hit Perkin’s afterwards.
    If I had known then what I know now...

    I'm going to say the big cat finishes dead last..he will have a ton of birdies but also have a few big numbers..

    Nice! Then you also saw the putt he drained to win that masters..I forgot about that. It was 10-15 footer.

    Yeah. DiMarco battled him about as well as anyone else did back in those days. 

    Apparently Tiger was 4 under today and looking real good. Just a pro am, but what you want to hear from a pro am at least....

    Was following Tiger Tracker a bit this morning.  Looked good.  Eagled a par 4 after driving the green.  Bananas easy course though.

    Dufner is the best.  Love that these guys aren't afraid to go after some of these clowns in the golf media....

    No doubt.  People say the media makes too big a deal about, but how can you not be excited about arguably the greatest player in history coming back to golf and being only 42 and reportedly smashing the ball as far as the biggest hitters in the game.

    I am obviously very excited.  Was able to pull a work from home day today, which is sweet.  Have a couple calls during his round, but no big deal.

    Just stay healthy

    Yeah, I get a kick out of Tiger Tracker.  Found out who it was though and like Santa, kinda ruined.  The Tracker and the actual person tweeted the exact same thing a few seconds apart a while back then the one from the real account was deleted, but I got a screenshot.

    exactly.... and as Cliff mentioned above about Brandel, hes been riding him hard since he left.  Love to see him come out and prove the naysayers wrong.

    With all the shit that happened in his life, he is human, and the man that changed the view on golf for all us,  he deserves a second chance for everything he has done for the sport. 

    Watching Tiger in the 90s, I hated to see him win all the time as I rooted for the underdog.... but now with all the adversity he has faced, I like to see him stand proud again.
