I don't know much about golf swings, but that swing looks pretty stiff to me. Not that that's not to be expected, but I'm not sure what the excitement is.

And I want my boy Tiger coming back and all. I'm just a little tired by the whole roller coaster that's been the last few years.

Let's just hope Tiger doesn't try to come back at Torrey again- that course is too hard and it's too cold there in the mornings for his 150 year old back. I would love for him to wait until the Florida swing...maybe a comeback at Bay Hill to help re-elevate that tournament in honor of Arnie?

I agree, avoiding Torrey sounds like a good idea. If what I have seen on Twitter is accurate, it sounds like he is not easing into anything lol, I've read from twspot's twitter that he has been at Medalist almost every day this week playing holes and spending time at the range. If he's ready to play by  Hero I think that's a good spot for him, but as we all do I really just hope he takes his time and doesn't do anything too soon. Only he/his medical team know what "too soon" could be.

I don't know if the course matters, but one where he doesn't feel the need to throw out 350 yard drives might help. Either way it's the mentality of competing and state of his overall health that will determine it. In previous returns, he's gone for so long until injured again, and I don't know if the course or how he plays matters to mucn.

Ho hum. :-P

At least he seems less self-conscious about his calves.

Is it just me or does his swing already look better than it did when he played last year?

It’s probably because he is relaxed and not playing for anything.

swing looking good.  And it just dawned on me that his logo is reminiscent of another W brand (apologies if already posted elsewhere)

So, what are you guys thinking?

Hero Challenge? Torrey? Waste Mgmt? Florida? Augusta?
Personally I'll believe it when I see it (or read about it), but he isn't dropping those tweets for nothing

really hope his back holds out this time as, despite all the bad stuff he's been through (even if self inflicted), i think golf has missed him to a certain extent.

Maybe he should make his return on one of the Web.com events or even an smaller one (Tiger Woods on the Hooters tour :-P). After the layoff he's had the less pressure he the better.

Yep, assuming he doesn't have any setbacks between now and then my money would be on Hero.

    • Day 14, April 22.  This morning, before going to work, I took the time to hit two dozen balls (indoors, off the mat, into the net), all with a 6-iron.  As before, this was focused on the pelvis separation and the length of the backswing -- yesterday's video view was encouraging that I'm making progress.  
    • Hey folks, Here's be a better video that outlines some of my challenges.  Any suggestiosn welcome.    
    • I enjoyed the distance wedges episode. It's something that I've not really taken the time to figure out for sure, but I went to a local trackman place over the winter and tested my four wedges (PW, AW, 54, 58) and got four yardages with each one. I am using Dan Grieve's method - you have a 1, 2, 3, and "full". The number references the number of clubhead widths between your heels.  I never really got to grips with the clock method - I'd find my 9:00 one day would go 40 yards and the next day 60 yards purely based on how fast I happened to swing it, but I couldn't turn that off and I was basically at sea with the speed method (Wesley Bryan does this - he takes almost a full swing for a 15 yard chip). The Grieve method I set my stance width and that really limits how much my swing moves back and forth and the speed seems to be naturally more consistent.  Anyway, I wound up with four yardages for each club - PW 48, 80, 112, 127; AW 41, 73, 101, 112; 54 36, 57, 91, 98; 58 28, 47, 81, 86 So, in order, I have 28, 36, 41, 47, 48, 57, 73, 80, 81, 86, 91, 98, 101, 112, 112, 127 which gives me a pretty good set of numbers. I do have a big gap from 57 to 73, but I can do a 2.5 58, which is giving me about 64. Then as they noted you can give it a bit more, or grip down on a club too to adjust a little bit. It's really useful and very freeing to just know what to do. When you have a 54 yard pitch, rather than pulling my 58 and thinking how hard is 54, I can just take my 54, do a "2" swing and just grip down a little and I'm in decent shape.  Incidentally, Erik talked a bit about watching Scheffler picking off his yardages to within a yard. I've watched DJ do that too with his wedges. Scottie does it trying to hit it all the way up to like 200 exactly with a 6-iron and he's hitting it 200.5, 199.7, etc. Absolutely mind blowing how good his distance control is. Insane.
