He's back..... Again!

[Deleted member 18588]

Yes it does seem that his comeback is now "on hold".

Sad to hear this and hope that it is merely temporary. However, the longer he is away and also the false starts means the less likely it is that we will ever see him again at or near his peak.

He's reportedly just pulled out. Bad bad news

Seems so, big shame.

Not heard he's pulled out and Sky still pushing his comeback on their website http://www.skysports.com/golf/news/...urn-to-action-causing-a-stir-in-united-states

Seems it's not injury related but more that he feels his short game isn't good enough

Where did you see this? Can't see it on on SSN or BBC sport

Those two sites struggle to report on stuff that happened 24hrs ago let alone an hour.

Twitter is your friend.

Yea he says his game isn't where he wants it to be.

Surely he'd have realised this before entering last week in a huge fanfare of publicity

Golf Channel. PGA Tour

He's out of Turkey as well........the man is done. Ryder cup showed him where he needs to be and he's no where near it. Just my opinion of course.

After a lot of soul searching and honest reflection, I know that I am not yet ready to play on the PGA TOUR or compete in Turkey. My health is good, and I feel strong, but my game is vulnerable and not where it needs to be.
When I announced last week I was going to Safeway, I had every intention of playing, or I wouldn't have committed. I spent a week with the U.S. Ryder Cup Team, an honor and experience that inspired me even more to play. I practiced the last several days in California, but after a lot of hours, I knew I wasn't ready to compete against the best golfers in the world. I will continue to work hard, and plan to play at my foundation's event, the Hero World Challenge, in Albany.
I would like to apologize and send my regrets to Safeway, the Turkish Airlines Open, the fans in California and Turkey and those that had hoped to watch me compete on TV. This isn't what I wanted to happen, but I will continue to strive to be able to play tournament golf. I'm close, and I won't stop until I get there.

Meh!

When he said he was going to Safeway, he meant the supermarket and everyone else assumed the tournament!! Obviously didn't really want to spoil a good news story so let it lie for week before adding a bit of spin on it!!!

 

[ger147]

Apparently the Safeway folks have sold 28k tickets since Tiger said he was playing...

Got a feeling you're right Tommo .....

Hope not,but I agree.

Tommo is spot on. I think he's done now. I can't see how he'll come back now and he seems to be coming to the same conclusion in his own mind

 

[FairwayDodger]

Really sad to hear this. I think there's just too much pressure on him. He knows his game will be forensically analysed to death and that doesn't allow him the luxury of easing back into it. He feels he needs to be completely on it from day 1.

Can we change the title of the thread to "Oh no he isn't"?
