Yep.

Which is probably good. Less press, low pressure, small field, wide course…

And it is guaranteed OWGR points (if you finish)

I don't like how the limited field events OWGR points are "earned" and the Hero Challenge is the perfect example.
Finish last in this event and you get about the equivalent of 40'ish in the US Open, win the Hero Challenge and it's like a 3rd place in the US Open ..... these are not anywhere near equivalent things.

That being said - it will be good for the tour if Tiger can play; but before we get carried away just remember there is a difference between playing golf and playing 4 competitive rounds on tour.

Players play, tough players win!

Agreed. It was well written with some new anecdotes, but the overall themes surrounding Tiger Woods remain unchanged by the article.  The major point I disagree with is definitively declaring tha

He's usually pretty witty in a dry way if you pay attention enough, or catch him a little off guard.

I noticed that too! He's softening a bit in his old age....

Woods in a recent interview - I can't believe how far I'm hitting the ball. Based on the what's quoted in the article, easy there tiger/Tiger, take it slowly.

Quote

“I can’t believe how far I’m hitting the golf ball,” Woods told Auriemma. “I’m back to hitting it my full numbers and not really trying to do that. I didn’t realize how much I had dropped off because of the pain in my back and from me going at it and hitting it normal just because I just lived it from day to day to day and I really couldn’t tell the difference. But now I can tell the difference.”

Quote

He admitted he’s still concerned, and when he gets in uneven lies or weird swings, the thought may be there, “Is my back going to go out?”

“Still in the back of my mind I remember makings those swings and ending up on the ground, and having people come get me because I couldn’t walk anymore,” Woods said.

Here's the audio, haven't listened to it yet.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

This is interesting insight to why Tiger switched his swing after 2002...

Basically, his left knee was trashed due to his swing under Butch Harmon's tuterage.

If that's from the podcast, yeah, that's what he said. But he's said that since 2002 or 2003.

In Twitterverse, Tiger is driving it past Ricky in practice rounds, long past,  according to Ricky. Tiger's comment is that he's doing this while driving it fairly effortlessly.

      I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
