Can't wait. Swing looking great. Just hope the body is healthy and the short game on point. Come on Tiger. Let's have a good week and get ready to win another Masters.
 
I am proper excited for the return of the great one. He's got the potential to do well this week and kick start the second (third? Fourth?) comeback of his career. With taylormade woods, scotty putter and Bridgestone ball he has all of his old equipment back in the bag. I think he will do well.

All that old equipment he played with in the 90's :rofl:

Bookies have him at 25/1
 
Im a fan, always have been. I've kinda lost interest in watching the game since he faded away.

Like him or loathe him its a little like the Premier league without MUFC :whistle:

I just hope he gets through it in one piece and starts playing regular tournament golf again.
 
I just hope he doesn't embarrass himself

The game has moved on in great strides and has shown that golf is able to breathe without him playing

There are now a lot of players who are better than him on tour so expectations should be tempered with that in mind.

He can be a very exciting player if he is playing well but that's a long time ago now and would hate to see him plodding along propping up leaderboards. Pictures have been released of him swinging a club but none of the numbers he is getting or were the ball is actually going.

Hopefully he just goes out and just enjoys playing again and I just hope that he doesn't become the constant headline for all the wrong reasons

Much as I'd like to see Tiger moving back up the rankings, it's events like these that skew the list.
With only 18 players it's a mockery to award ranking points .
Play for as much money as you like but a small field gifts points - points that could, further down the line, keep them in the top 64 and therefore eligible for the WGCs..

Yup, I don't agree that all these points should be on offer but I suppose at the ranking Tiger is at there is very little difference between many of them that he would move up regardless of how many points he received.

I have everything crossed that he gets back to contending next year.

For now I'd settle for 4 pain free rounds and some nice golf. Don't care if he finishes last.
He is still one of only half a dozen golfers that I'd go out of my way to watch, regardless of what he scores.

Exactly this for me...
 
Its interesting that with so many threads on here regarding golf getting out of the past, ie jeans, mobile phones,hats in bars etc,etc we seem stuck in the recent past regarding TW, he's in the past now and will never compete with younger fitter guys.

Sort of agree in terms of fitness (but do think his body can hold up to playing, he just needs to pace himself), but his age is not an issue. Mickelson is still competing, so are Furyk, Kuchar, Harrington has won this year, Zach Johnson (same age as Tiger) won a major last year, Westwood is still competing, and even Stenson is the same age as Woods and he's still right up there. If Tiger can stay fit and get some good tournaments under his belt he can definitely compete. Still hits it as far as everyone, and if he can get his incredible short game back he'll be hard to beat. You only need to look at the success a relative short-hitter in Spieth has had since Tiger has been away. If Tiger can come back chipping and putting like he used to, he's going to be a serious contender.
 
Sky are certainly ramping the return up, I think I've watched about 8 of his Major wins on SS4 this week.

I've enjoyed it though, it certainly beats watching Jimmy Bullard and co skimming balls across a lake.
