I'd definitely like to see him winning again.
For someone who is such a miserable sod a lot of the time, he seems quite vulnerable and I feel he definitely got a bum deal in the press, despite bringing it all on himself.
In other words, for all that he has in terms of talent and money, I feel a bit sorry for him.

His swing looks good, but it is his short game that needs to improve. I am sure he can sort out his chipping, but not so confident about his putting.
I think he will win a PGA event, but not a major this year.

Spot on Svenska. For my tastes the close of the PGA Championship last year was sporting theatre at it's best. McIlroy and Fowler (who I'd tipped), in battle with Stenson and Lefty. It was a cracking watch. With TW back in the mix and a re-modelled Phil, let's hope for more of the same in 2015.

Watch his press conference yesterday on PGATour.com, i think you opinion might change a little. He was insightful, funny and IMHO very genuine.

And it wouldn't be the first time he has appeared jovial before an event
His will to win and desire is part of his make up and that at times transmits into being very stand offish

I agree with the wins/not wins, but I think his chipping will be sorted. I bet he's hit more chips in the last month than I've hit in the last 5 years.
There is a video on the PGA site of parts of his practice round. About a minute in he hits a driver, and boy does he hit it hard! Still looks in control at the same time though.

That is what I said Gary. His chipping doesn't worry me, but his putting under pressure does.
Good to see him back, and will definitely be watching the US golf tonight.
he's stated he was stuck between two different styles that week- sorted now hopefully.
This explains why I fluff some chips as I'm stuck between 47 different techniques.........daily

I would expect him to win a PGA event this year, but I think he's done now in Majors. Too many good, young players around with the game to win the biggest titles and who haven't been mentally scarred by Tiger in the past; as such the Tiger fear factor just isn't there with them.

Must admit I'm looking forward to watching the golf over the next few days. I'm not a Tiger fan but his latest "comeback" is a big part of the interest. If he can really hit some form, and the signs (chipping aside) were good last time out, we could have a very interesting season ahead.

The other thing I've not seen mentioned much is that there were a lot of good players fluffing chips and pitches around those greens at Isleworth.
Granted Tiger had the "lion's share", but it shows you how hard the shots were when others were doing it as well.

He'll win again this season in my opinion but not so sure about the majors although he does like St Andrews !! There is no aura surrounding him anymore , nobodys scared, he doesn't bomb it as far as others now either. I'd like him to be competitive again though but he needs to stop "flobbing" everywhere for me to actually respect and like him !!!!

I don't think he will win in 2015, will always be a fine iron player but his driving is weak and he's not putting like he did in his prime. 39 now, badly injured body and as many have said does not intimidate opponents or outhit them any longer and too many good hungry young guns out there. I expect more injuries but Tiger being Tiger he'll keep trying.
Nicklaus only won one major after the age of 40 without much in the way of career injuries.
Time waits for no man.
