That second chip after the first one came back to his feet was something else

Amazing how quiet this thread is now after he eventually gets the win as opposed to a year ago where there was a post after every good swing he made!

That's some comeback by Woods, suffice to say the jury is no longer out. That's some way to end the year and get the win he has deserved over the last few months.

Many, myself included, and himself included judging by his comments, thought his career was all but done about 18 months ago. Wherever he goes from here, and no reason to think that he can't stay competitive for another couple of years, what he has achieved this year is remarkable. Hats off to the guy.

That was nice to watch lads. He's back. Jack Nicklaus might be wondering now...

I'm sorry to put a downer on it

But my gut feeling is - that Tiger's body will not hold out long enough

I'd be happy with him winning a major or two.

True, he might run out of time, but its a possibility again. First week of April the hype will be epic.

He has had multiple surgeries on his back and is still swinging it like he is in his 20s

It just doesn't add up

I'm sure the best surgeons money can buy were commissioned.

yes but it is just hard to understand how it will hold out under a pro schedule

I doubt it,most of us are tiger fans but all of us are golf fans, Firstup dislikes tiger, most of us wish he didnt comment at all.

Maybe we could get all the tiger fans to move the big rock firstup is hiding under

I doubt it.And if firstup gets his own fans to move the rock,they wont budge it. Fitting end to the year.i made a few bob on it,never lost faith.Class is permanent

Well done Tiger. You won it yourself.

Deeper Blue

I've watched a lot of golf on TV in the last 20 years but that was right up there. What an achievement, the scenes on the 18th were epic. Great stuff.

Its a bit of a miracle but there are two reasons why that wouldn't worry me too much. First thing is he said himself there is a misconception about his back injuries to begin with. It was never the full swing that hurt him. It was the endless hours of chipping and putting standing bent over.
The other thing is medical advances are being made all the time. When I was playing soccer as a young guy when you had an ACL rupture that was you done for good, end of career. Now the fella next door who fell off a bike gets this procedure done and footballers just have a 6 months break and they're back. Ibrahimovic just had one age 37 and he got it done and can play again.

I dont think he intends to return to a full schedule but after this season I'm hopeful we have a few more years of proper Tiger left. Majors and the big ones anyway.

I’m a huge Tiger fan so delighted last night but I do hope we see old Ryder Cup Tiger this week and not this current new one....

I'm grand thanks. No problem with credit - or hype - when its deserved.

Didn't see it unfortunately as I'm travelling and no access to TV coverage but it was emotional and must have been good theatre.

Hats off to Tiger for crowning his comeback in style. His dedication and determination puts some others to shame and he deserves all the plaudits.

Sets up the Ryder Cup nicely too.

There's a lot to like about that photo, not too many bunched around Rory at the front!

His golf was flawless. Unbelievable performance. He just needs to work on his ability to dredge up a few tears. It wasn't for the want of trying.

I've never been a fan of his, but have to say where he's come from to get back to winning on the PGA is phenomenal. Can he sustain it? That's where the tv company's are rubbing their hands.

I'd tend to agree with this tbh. Never been a fan and probably unlikely to ever be one, but its an achievement all the same, and genuinely great to see him pain free, healthy and able to play.
