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.

Where there is smoke, there is usually a fire.

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 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.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
