The Tiger Woods Thread

Great round by Woods today, a lot of lads in here will be pulling themselves asunder😂😂😂😂.

Trampas

Driving is still a bit off and course is friendly enough let's all be honest.

No pressure this week to make cuts.

Fair play, cracking round that.

As I say though, this is a low-rent exhibition tournament on a very forgiving course.

His round was good but everyone is shooting in the 60's.

It's good to see him in good touch though, a far cry from where he was in his few most recent tournaments.

I was delighted to watch him today. If he is still in good shape come Sunday night, I think it bodes well, but today was only one round.

He's done brilliant so far considering how long he was out for. I thought he'd struggle which would've been understandable. Delighted for him.

His distance control and putting were most impressive

I'd say the top players are delighted he's back. The hype will bring a nice boost in revenue but no real threat.

You don't think he'll win again?

Of course its possible but I don't see him being a significant force.

Really great to see the contrast in his mental approach in the first two rounds, I think it shows he head is in the right place and he's ready to face the challenges ahead.
While perhaps it's still too early to tell, I think all indicators point towards a Tiger who is ready to graft like a rookie and is hungry again for success.

For Tiger it was a matter of getting himself right and able to play pain free. If he can continue playing pain free for a few years anyway i think he can get back to his best. He'll have the hunger for it as he has been off so long. His driving was never the best anyway and he still managed to be at the top. His putting and short game was unreal and we've seen glimpses of that the last 2days.

We'll see. Its a big ask to manage a damaged body while competing at the sharp end - and deal with the pressure of expectations.

His short game was looking pretty wretched under pressure before his last injury so the mental side is on test too.

A resort course jolly in BAH is a nice gentle re-introduction but lets see how he gets on when it matters.

take everything

If Woods is back mentally (which I feel he's getting there) he'll start winning again. And Majors as well.
I certainly hope he is.

Tiger opens up with 3 birdies to start. Conditions look a lot more trickier today with the wind.

Is it just me or does he look to gingerly pick up his tee after each tee shot as if there is still some pain there?

He looks stiff walking around. Maybe he's just guarding his back but he definitely looks a bit strange walking and bending to me

And a holed bunker shot now haha

Imagine how good he will be when he loosens up

The Rape of Lucretia

My mind is blown anyway.

There is simply no explaining this guy in the current understandings of philosophy or science. The known rules just dont apply. It is the mind of man bending the fabric of space and time, giving us a glimpse of a universe beyond the one we comprehend. I can give all the doubters a pass on having misread this one. It is a perfectly understandable mistake to have made. But man has he opened eyes this weekend.

4 under after 8. Phuque me.

Or it could be a good player playing well on a wide open resort course........

Great to see him smile and playing .

Course is a shocker .

Its so much more than that though. So much more.
The bigger picture is a Nietzschean struggle of Tiger the Dominator, the burst on the scene, the Tiger Slam, the relentless statistics defying win rate, the records, the injuries, the Torrey Pines on a broken leg, the Nave SEALs, the cocktail waitresses, the Father Issues, the Escalade, the fall into the black abyss, the chipping yips, the chunking three pitching wedges in a row into the drink......then a rebuilt, the iron will, the rebuilding of the ubermensch.
A good player player well on a wide open resort course is like saying Michelangelo redecorated a church ceiling.
So much more. So much more.
