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.

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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 45 (22 Apr 26) - good friend wanted to play the Weds shootout. Glad we did as I had the most consistent round in a while - 38/41 for a 79 (first sub 80 in months): 27 putts, 9 pars (7 were up and down 1 putts), 8 bogies, 1 birdie and 0 dbls or worse!  This is the 1st full round where I’ve not had at least one dbl (or worse) and 0 penalties.  I also came 1 hole from having “no sixes” (bogied the par five 16th).  All the drills came together today for a solid round.

      Day 568 - 2026-04-22 Created a 33-minute playlist and paused it while I stopped. I mostly did some backswing and a little downswing work with the mirror. This got me most of the way through the playlist, so then I chopped for a good 15 or 20 minutes.
