He is great reading because he makes really shrewd and detailed observations that you'd never know otherwise, such as:

Tiger plays well when he has confidence.

Tiger hasn't been playing well until now.

Tournaments are interesting when good players play in them. Even better when Tiger wins.

Now that had me laughing

Considering Tiger plays well when he has confidence, and since he just won it could be inferred that he's playing with confidence? With Rory and Lee joining the PGA Tour there will be more good players playing on the PGA Tour in 2012 it seems. Are you suggesting 2012 will be more interesting as a result? What does this say for the European Tour?!? Is there a problem with depth on the Euorpean Tour, unlike the PGA Tour which has the majority of players currently in the OWGR top 100 as regular members?!? Can't wait for 2012!!!

It's the chicken or egg question but I think Tiger has confidence when his swing is sound. I guarantee that's what he would say. He has confidence in this swing and his distance control and that makes him a danger to the others on the tour. He's a little wild off the tee but he always has been. However the wedge he hit on 18 yesterday was perfectly controlled and he's stinging his irons. It reminds me of his British Open win in 2006 at Royal Liverpool. It remains to be seen if this swing and his knee will hold up but it looks like 2012 will be a good year for Woods.

I figure he will win 2 majors and 4-6 other events.  The "young guns" who have never had to face the full force of a healthy motivated post-swing-change Tiger are in for a rude awakening.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I agree that the practice swings are funky, but I have to say Tiger's swings looked pretty awesome.  I only saw highlights for the first three days and some of the final round, and man that is a simple and powerful swing!  The sound is just different - to me his swing stands out compared to other players again.  And at the same time he is balanced and doesn't look like he is over-swinging.  Great stuff and I also like to see him mixing in some different shot shapes again.  I'm not typically a Tiger "fanboy", but I think his long game looked pretty awesome this weekend.

Yea, my bet is Tiger comes back strong next year. He's just way too good to be out of it for much longer.

All that muscle memory has to kick in again soon :)
