    Tiger shot -1 in the Pro Am apparently.

    Will be interesting to see how he gets on in a proper tournament i.e. with a cut and not on a resort course. He has a great record around the course though.

    I can't wait to see it. I don't have high expectations. If he looks truly healthy and is simply back that alone would be a huge success. But I can't wait.

    I dont know what it is. It's just more interesting watching Tiger playing a shot than anyone else.

    Certainly wasn't a snap hook but it was left which reminds me of Tiger of old.

    A level par round on one of the most difficult courses on tour after nearly a year (discounting Hero) of not playing competitive golf can only be seen in a positive light.

    He hit a couple close but really he has not been playing well today. His driving wasn't good and he missed a lot of greens and not in the right spots. He had a pretty badish day. But he's level par. A pretty professional performance from someone away from the game for so long.

    Tiger back to ways of old... swinging way too fast with the driver. All over the place today unfortunately.

    Cut currently at -1 he has a lot to do after that double bogey

    To be expected. He's being judged against a standard set a decade ago. He is now just an ordinary golfer.

    He's now +2 and 3 outside of the predicted cut. Tied 125th.

    He's battling. 1 under now, might need another one although cut is currently at -1.

    Can't imagine there was this much intrigue as Jack's powers faded, time waits for no man, I have no pity for him, a once great athlete, well rewarded.

    At the moment he's in with -1. Fair play to grind that out on another day of bad driving.

    On the bad driving... He's just hitting it too hard. All silky smooth on the range and when he plays for real he's trying to kill every shot.

    Just three fairways made all day. Some scrambling.. maybe he should leave the driver at home tomorrow.

    The commentary is the worst part - just making excuses and saying how good he is going.. they are all scared of him..

    A plus 40 year old man after having a few major surgeries on his back out playing professional golf is quiet an achievement in my opinion.

    Tiger ridiculously bad off the tee.. even by his standards. His short game though... very sharp!

    It's odd isn't it? They show him on the range and he's got a lovely smooth brisk swing... then on the course he's lashing at it like it's his ex-wife...

    It's actually sickening. The early commentary (selected groups coverage) over the first two days when it was just the American feed was nauseating.

    Chances are I wouldn't have watched any coverage over the first few days if Tiger wasn't playing, probably just Sunday. I could watch him all day so I love the wall to wall Tiger coverage.
