Will Tiger Play in the 2015 Masters? YES!

I was wrong too, and I'm happy about it! Now, let's see him blade some chips..... :-D

Talk about moving the needle

But did he get Brandel Chamblee's approval to play?!

Time to start getting excited!

Interesting Notah said, even going into the practice round today, Tiger still wasn't sure if he was playing.

Like they just said on TGC, Tiger doesn't move the needle, he is the needle!

Let the media circus begin.

I hope to be wrong but he may be out after two rounds.   If I am proved wrong, I will come back to this post/thread and profusely apologize .

There should be a vote on whether TST thinks Tiger will make the cut or not. I think the majority is still going to say no....but with the recent "worst ball round", who the hell knows.

Who would know no matter what happened last week?

I'll tell you on Friday evening. :-)

That's more like moving the tectonic plates...

Haven't watched golf in months, this will get me back in front of the box.

That's pretty sad unless you just don't watch much golf in general.

Really glad he's playing. However, I will say this. Next week begins what I think is the most important 3-4 month stretch of Tiger Woods' career. If Tiger Woods doesn't find his game by the end of the year, I don't think he'll ever get it back. I firmly believe that.

There's already been a question of whether he's lost some of his passion for the game, which I personally think he has. I've been saying all along I think his poor play this year has a lot to do with a lack of motivation, something Hank Haney also alluded to. I think the lack of passion has affected his mental game. However, I think he's gotten some of it back the last few weeks working hard and putting the time in. There are reports of him getting "that edge back."  If all this work he's putting in doesn't net the results, it's going to take another big mental toll on him. A lot of golfers will tell you that when you lose your game and you put a lot of time in to get it back and it doesn't come back, it just destroys your confidence.

Good news! Tiger doing what tiger does! Play golf! It's gonna Be a strong field. I've already told the the wife not to make plans next Sunday, and if she does, to not include me as I'll be disappearing for most of the day! I have to say though, I would have been very disappointed if tiger had not played!

I totally agree.

Next week is going to be hugely important, to the point where if he doesn't play well, we will have to pretty much accept that the Tiger era is well and truly over, sad as that may be for some to accept.

Especially now that the confidence issue seems to be in the equation, which it never ever was before in a negative sense.

True, but prior to the worst ball article I think 95% of TST would have voted no to making the cut.

I went to the thread and voted for 148 two day score, which may not be enough to make the cut.   I don't believe I was the only one.   Although we like to see Tiger play, many of us are not convinced he has regained his touch.
