The report is in the National Enquirer. Take it for what it's worth at this point.

After 15 holes, neither man is making a case for the Covert Driver... Edit - At least Tiger's putting stroke looked "freed up", and then he 3 putted the last hole.... ugh. Both player

Admittedly, there are a lot of distractions in Abu Dhabi.

I agree, I think they will finish #1 and #2 overall this season.  I'm just not sure which one will be #1 at this point.

They broke some other stories re Tiger, and while the details may have been inaccurate, the story was not.

He's seemed to be in limbo since the divorce, haven't heard much about him dating or being out in public.  I have to think he wants Elin back to make it up to her but also to be close to his kids again.  I can't imagine not living with my kids and seeing them all the time.

You're right, no matter how disturbed Tiger was in terms of fidelity and fetishes, he seems to genuinely care for his children from all reports. And it's been three years since the divorce, it's possible that he did go to therapy occasionally, and perhaps he has a better understanding of why and who he is ... Once one understands their demons, it's easier to lead a life that we'd label as normal. Perhaps he does love Elin ...

As the TigerWorld churns...

But I want to know his thoughts on that Covert Driver - he hit one fairway the last 9 holes.

looks like his swing bottomed out well behind the ball, this is the cause of almost all fat AND thin/topped shots.

I think he is hitting the VRS? VR Pro? 3 wood.

I saw video of the Covert in Rors' hands but not the closeup with Tiger.

From all indications, I don't think he is hitting the Covert Driver yet

I can fall in love just as hard as the next guy, but 350m worth of love? I'm not at that level yet. My pecker wont even work with anyone else anyways just thinking of that money.

I think that's the purpose of the clause -

He pays if he uses it on anyone but Elin.

Elin has taken good care of herself, I will say. Bumped into her the other day and we talked a little about grip pressure. She was happy to pose for a picture. Nice girl.

That new Nike Covert fairway wood doesn't work too well on toe shots lol

They're saying Tiger topped this shot, but doesn't it look like he takes a divot 5 feet behind the ball?

He's not using the Covert; he uses the VR Tour Driver.

      Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.
