    I think we can only be encouraged thus far by tiger’s play.  I still think he wins a tourney this year.

    I think the driver is a big issue.  His short game is generally awesome, but he can't put together a score with that off the tee.  Only 5 rounds in, but not one decent round off the tee.

    I little rough yesterday off the tee again but I don't see any reason why that won' be corrected in the near future..look at where his short game was and where its at now..its fantastic!! I think he will contend when he gets back to Fla.

    Most important thing is that he stays healthy. So far, so good.


    Pretty confident that a healthy Tiger can figure out how to hit a driver straight after some time. Think about how little he's been able to play these last few years....it'll come.

    Completely agree the main thing is staying healthy this year.

    Tiger has never been a great driver, he has always been fairly wild, but this is on another level.  Can Tiger win if best case scenario is a Phil driver? I don't know.  Tiger is the best iron player ever.  Going to need it more than ever, Maybe a little hot take'ish, but color me slightly concerned.  Health is the main thing though, I agree.

    #10 is a top 5 hole in golf 

    Also, love that people are hating on it. An absolutely brutal 280 yard par 4. Yes, fucking, please

    I do agree with the broadcast that the green is a bit too hard though

    Yeah, that green is a little much but that hole is awesome.

    Feels like people are always saying that these courses are too easy for these guys because of how far everyone is hitting the ball, yet people cry when there's a super tough hole like that one.

    Poor Justin Thomas doesn’t like the loud crowds that follow Tiger.  Tom Brady has to make split second decisions with a 300lb guy chasing him down, but 45 seconds is enough for these spoiled golfers.

    One of these things is not like the other. Rory said the same thing. Every player that has ever played with tiger has said the same thing

    And it’s 280. They cry so much. That hole is awesome 

    A player like kuchar or Gmac going for the green because they can yet it’s such a dumb play. Pop an iron out there and give yourself 80 yards with a good angle. You go right of the green you’re fucked, left you might have a shot. Have seen almost no legit eagle putts. Laying up is the play yet no one can do it

    Predictions on today’s winner?  I’ll take a flier on G Mac.  I’d like Cantlay but don’t see it happening

    I bet bubba wins. Didn’t he say he’d retire if he won 10 times?
