Not sure if he will win a major or not but i think he may just well win a tour event , i know he was sick on his return but his swing looked so much free'er & easy on the body ,
Mental strength and drive will determine the rest & i think he will be mentally strong to at least be in contention after 3/4 events back

I think he'll grind out a major as well this year, golf has been a bit boring the last couple of years and I have a feeling this year could be a humdinger. Woods winning a major would certainly kick start it.

 

[Spear-Chucker]

Given the strength and depth of the fields he's playing against he needs to have everything on form for this to happen. Driving, putting, chipping, health - you name it. He can't rely on reputation and intimidation anymore. Think he can win regular events but he's dangerously out of practice when it comes to stepping up in the majors - so none of them.

Nice to be proved wrong, if so, we could be in for some terrific golf - you don't win 14 majors without a little talent, excitement and drama along the way and as a viewer I'd love to see some great battles. Just hope he's not going to stay the lucrative sideshow for the big events however much I fear this is actually the case. That would just be a sad denouement to what was a great career.

 

[guest100718]

yes i think so

 

[bluewolf]

I'm going for - He'll contend in a few regular PGA events, he might even win one or two, but I think he'll struggle in the Big Ones. He no longer has the length to intimidate his opponents, Nor does he have the fear factor he once had.. I hope I'm wrong though as I'd love to see Tiger push the new guys all the way in the Biggies...

The thought of TW and Lefty taking on Rory and Jordan down the stretch at the US Open. Viewing figures would be astronomical!

Think he will Prob win a tour title - Prob one of the ones he does well in each year

But can't see him winning a major

 

[Hammertoe]

Just don't know if he has the 'teeth' for the fight anymore!! Is he a bit long in the 'tooth' now!! Sorry!! Realistically I think he is still good enough to compete as long as he sorts out his chipping, I think he will win again.

Oh Goody a(nother) Tiger thread:thup:

Tiger will not only win multiple, yes multiple PGA tour events, he will compete in at least 2 Majors and be in serious contention if not top 5 in two.

/You heard it here first.

I agree with this.

I dont know how people can write someone off who won 5 (i think) times the last season he was fully healthy.

Every single expert is saying his swing looks the best it has since 2000 (even Dennis Pugh, who very rarely says anything positive about anything other than the bloody Wisley or Molinari).

The fact that he is playing this week, shows that he wants to play again.

He will also FLY up the world rankings again due to his lack of participation last season.

If he does well

I remember people saying he was swinging it well before his last event as well

Woods is now part of the pack I believe - you now have to compare him to the likes of Rory and I can't see any part of Woods game that is better than Rory's

I hope he gets in amongst the players and its a cracking season but now it will be just Woods on the telly and that's the issue I have with him

So in the past month his swing will have improved and no doubt he would have worked very hard on his short game.

I agree that he is part of the pack, however, Rory isnt going to win every single major.

Woods knows how to win, and I would argue the people like Adam Scott and Ricky Fowler do not consistently.

I would be very suprised if he doesnt win at least 2 events this year.

Oh I think a PGA Tour title is Prob going to be won - maybe a WGC at Firestone - events where he is happy and the set up isn't tough

The issue I have isn't really his fault - the coverage focusing on him regardkess of where he is on the leaderboard

Another area which is changing is the way the pros seem more approachable and friendlt -Woods is very focus and that gives the impression of rudeness at times , his personality doesn't seem to fit the modern golfers

 

[Ethan]

I think he'll win a regular tour event, maybe even a WGC event. Ironically, the Match-Play could be his best opportunity. As for the majors, i'm doubtful.

I agree, he is too good a player not to win if fit, and I think the new swing changes will come good for him. The fields have moved on since he last won a major though, and players like Rory and the young bucks respect but do not fear him like his peers did 10-15 years ago.

Exactly, in them 5 wins was The Players and 2 WGC's. The setup for these tournments are not that far off Major conditions. And besides the Majors, has the strongest fields especially The Players.

This is why you need to stay out of threads that contain Tiger. :rofl:

Firestone is one of the hardest courses on the PGA calender.

 

[Imurg]

There's no doubt that having Tiger firing on all cylinders is a joy to behold......but.....

I just feel there's too many other players out there who are capable of beating him.

His chances are slimmer than a few years ago.
I think new going to struggle and it also wouldn't surprise me if the body gives up again at some stage...

 

[HawkeyeMS]

Assuming he is and stays fit;

Tour Title: Yes
Major: He has as good a chance as any

Absolutely Steve, this is what golf is crying out for this year. I thought last years Masters was one of the dullest in years, it was frustrating to see. The old guard vs the new guard is always fascinating and we need it this year, so let's have it. Mickleson is going to have a good year I can feel it, let's hope Tiger will as well.
