Tiger

And chokes on 18 tomorrow. Unashamed tiger hater. But glad he's back, temporarily, golf needs a heel. The PGA looks like a fraternity fundraiser most weeks. Everyone out there seem like best buds.
Yeah, Rose was in with his -8 first. Snedeker may be if he sinks this. And of course, Tiger could 3 putt.
I guarantee you his competitors are glad he’s back. Nobody generates more interest (and cash) for that game than TW.

I like the new guys in golf. I like Tiger as a golfer as well. I'm less interested in his personal life than most and will enjoy it if he really can play competitively again to spice things up like you said.
Like Jack and some others, Tiger did things with a golf club that was just amazing to watch and that is why I like him in the game IF he can keep it up. I'm not sure he can with the amount of work he has had on his back.
If he does win again, that means he's changed his game completely
The old Tiger Woods simply crushed everybody in his path. If you were close going into the final round, you had a shot. If you were ahead, Tiger never made a last-day charge.
However, he's 42 and he pretty much destroyed his back torquing those massive drives over the years. If he wins again, it'll be due to guile and experience.

I certainly enjoy watching him play. And I'm not alone, based on the greatly increased attendance at the Valspar tournament. It's hard to believe he's 42. Seems like only yesterday when he joined the PGA.
That’s just not true. He’s piping drives pretty well by a more compact and more efficient swing. Hell in his prime he beat everyone by hitting irons off the tee, admittedly he was ripping those irons off the tee box screwing his back up, but the misconception that he bombed it past everyone and pitched and putted his way to victory is short sighted.
Tiger was a young good looking guy with hundreds of millions in the bank, he was the unquestioned best in his field, possibly of all time, and had access to unlimited top-end strange as far as the eye could see. His mistake was getting married. It happens.
One reason I'm a hater
Is the media making up any reason to love him. During the broadcast today they put up a graphic showing why Tiger is awesome. One reason listed is that since Spieth missed his first cut, he has gone on to miss a total of 19. During that time, Tiger has only missed 17 cuts. They conveniently forgot to mention Tiger has probably played 20% of the tourneys as Speith.
They also said he was clocked with the highest swing speed on tour this year, he is impressive. I just don't like him.

I'm glad he's back. From 00-12ish I didn't miss hardly any tournaments, the last 5-6 I've mostly only caught the majors and the players.
He also has a doppelgänger working the desk in the Holiday Inn Express in Jackson off County Line Rd. I saw talked to him there last weekend, I'm talking spitting image, except he was about 5'6.

Uh, you misunderstood that stat.
Jordan Spieth has missed 19 cuts in the four years he's been a pro.
Tiger Woods has missed 17 cuts, ever. In fact, from 1996 through 2005 he missed one cut. One. It's an unbelievable stat.
We'll, he confused my reading comprehension
So there is another reason to hate him.

My reason also. The broadcasters are more biased for him than any other individual or team that I've ever seen in my decades of watching sports. It's waaay over the top, makes the broadcast unwatchable and I don't get it.
And the congregation said, "Amen"
What happens first, he decides to shave his head due to near complete baldness or he wins another tourney?

I was gone and had to record the last few holes and just got through watching. Tiger is back ... he had a real chance to tie it up on the last hole. The putt on 17 was absolutely amazing, but it's something he's done many times before. I don't particularly like Patrick Reed, but watching his putt on 18 was painful. I like Casey OK ... he deserved to win. Very good tournament, and really the first one I've watched this year.
I'm wouldn't say he's back, yet. He only played better today than one person who finished in the top 10. I don't think his body is ready for 4 days of tournament play at this point. He looked tired towards the end. The old Tiger would've stroked a drive on 18 to leave a relatively short approach. His tee shot on 18 left him no real chance.
Yes, he did look tired, and yes his tee shot on 18 was a surprise. But, the putt was makable, more so than the one on 17. He just didn't make it. At least he wasn't down where Reed and Strick were, whether that was on purpose or not. Unless he hurts himself in the next couple of weeks (and he might, swinging like he does), I think he'll make some noise in the Masters.
