Yes to both.

But seriously, him not playing in API is disconcerting.

Tiger may not play the Players?

Tiger Woods still has time to commit to next week's Players, but Notah Begay painted a picture of continued uncertainty.

Maybe his back is giving him major issues again.

Either that or he doesn’t feel like it?

There was some swing I saw in slow motion recently where his knee or something buckled. Dunno if ground slippery or something else.

I would imagine he's got one thing on his mind - a major at his best chance to win one - the AugNationalGolfClub.   It would be a shame if he was injured this time of the year, ask DustinJohnson.

Here in AugustaGa, we've had more days of rain than clear since Dec.  Almost 2 ft since first part of Dec.  We got 2.5" yesterday, rained for 4 days straight.  Pretty sure the 'creek' is up out there so it will be limited play before the Masters if it keeps up like so far.

If he's feeling at all worn down or tired this early in the season I guess he feels that he's more susceptible to injury.  How many legit shots at majors does he have?   can't be many.

Worn down from what? Torrey Pines and Riviera? He’s only played in two tournaments this year, right?

If he’s worn out already, he’s in trouble

Got to be more than just wore down from last year. Would be a shame if he couldn't defend at the Masters.

I don’t see him competing at the Masters with no pre-tourney reps. It’ll be interesting to see if he plays Valspar or the Match Play, assuming his back loosens up by then. But yeah, I feel this is going to be what it’s like the rest of his career. He’ll be good one minute and then out the next.

We all thought he was back to his old self after the Masters, ZoZo, President's Cup success last year. However, Tiger always tried to lower the expectations by saying he was simply grateful to be playing competitive golf again. I think of all of this as "bonus" time for Tiger. If we see him play well and win again, it'll be a real treat. If not, what a ride it has been.

I think this lay-off will favor Tiger. Hear me out.

His back has been rickety this year, time to heal will do him some good.

His back functions better in the heat, if majors are played mid-summer. That is good for him.

He hasn’t been able to play a bunch of tournaments in a row for a year now. But if everyone is out of tournament shape, his disadvantage may be negated.

If they play all 4 majors at some point this year...he may be able to sneak one or two.

    • Day 297: putted for about 25 minutes, working on 30 foot putts. Then went and hit balls for about an hour, just focused on getting the ball to go where I want it. Not my best session, but figured it out better at the end. 
    • I do use a 7 wood. Love it! Do have a specific question about 7 woods?
    • @DrizZzY does. 😄 
    • does anybody still use a 7 wood? if not what do you use instead>  
    • Day (2 May 24) - somehow I missed posting both Tues and Weds practice sessions - so the streak ends and a new one begins…. Focus today was on ball first contact using the Divot Board for reference.   Worked with 7i, 9i and GW hitting hard foam balls.  Started hap hazardly and then settled back into my pre-shot setup.  Much more consistent in the latter.
