He’s going through all the motions of an official start but cagey as always.

Dunno why this doesn’t unfurl.

Phil should send Tiger a thank you note because all of the 'will he play or not' has buried what would have otherwise been the biggest pre-Masters story.

My memory is fuzzy. Has his first tournament back from a long break ever been a major? I’m thinking a previous Masters maybe?

Depends on how you define long. He was out for a couple of months with a back injury before returning for the 2015 Masters.

Yes! I’d count that.

A lot of comments he’s wearing Footjoys not shoes from Nike.

Phil’s too arrogant and dumb to realize that’s a good thing.

It's mainly the claim that he hasn't lost any speed, that's implausible. I don't doubt that he had a good sesh, but c'mon....

Oh my Goodness. ... I hate to say it, but I think you are right. 

Back on topic:
Whether or not Tiger plays doesn't matter to me. I will be following and streaming as much of the Masters as my job/life allows. Having said that, Tiger is obviously the biggest thing in golf and I'm sure there are a lot of people who would benefit from him playing. 

Personally, I only want him to play if he's up to it. I'd hate to see him out there just knocking it around. Think about this. The last time Tiger missed the cut at The Masters was during The Clinton Administration. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
