I think Tiger is very likely to make the cut since he knows Augusta well and has won four green jackets.  However, I do not see him coming out of a self-imposed hiatus due to a pathetic short game and being sharp enough to win.  I do believe that he has respect for the Masters and will not witdraw if his game goes south.

and some easy money to be made if he simply shows up. I mean why wouldn't he.

That's how you categorize a top-20 finish coming back from an injury and no competitive rounds for 9 weeks? Okay then.

Watched some coverage last evening. El Tigre looked relaxed and ready. He'll make the cut and finish in the top 20.

146 is too low for the cut, remember it's low 50 and ties and those within ten strokes of the leader... not way out of line, if you said par (144), was going to be the cut... I would say you are nuts.

I hope he does well ... but I really do not hold much hope ... I just hope he does not really really suck; otherwise, I will have to listen to that in the media. The best I can hope for, is for him to be in the upper third.

This has the makings of something great. A sports story of the decade.

Tiger doesn't have to play. He made it clear he'd come back only when he was good and ready. The 66 worst ball score suggests he's good and ready. He isn't showing up to miss the cut. If his game was still off he could wait and come back at the British or whenever he chose. Neither is he showing up to be an also-ran.

He's gonna win this thing.

Tiger makes the cut, has a look at contenting but in the end doesn't.

Personally, if he makes the cut and has an average round, I hope he takes it as progress and doesn't go mental on himself for not contending.  To be honest, I just want him to make the cut, that's my only expectation "right now."

I'm pumped.

Although I really, really want him to make it and contend. I voted misses.

In similar news, Tiger should be arriving to Augusta soon for a practice sesh.

Rory has apparently been there all day.

Tiger just arrived. Looking a good bit slimmer than before. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing.

Dammit, he arrived just a little bit after we left. I wanted to watch him play.

He missed a few iron shots (on 12 it took him three to hit the green), but the driver was pretty solid.

How's the short game? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I don't think he'll make the cut, but the Masters has traditionally the poorest filed of all the Majors so he could sneak in. I doubt he can contend over 72 holes. Too much rust and his short game problems would be exaggerated at Augusta National.

His chipping/pitching looks fine on the practice area...listening to his ipod while working.  Will have to see how it translates on Thursday.

Can’t make this up - his first tee shot was so far left it was near the ninth fairway. Hits approach over trees to 4 feet. Makes birdie.

he snap hooked his first official drive as a professional at the Masters'97 - think he bogeyed the hole though.....he hooks a lot on #1

I've got a pile of dead rotting crow out back that I'll eat if he makes the cut.

Post a picture for proof ... love to see a grown man cry. :-P

After the 1st hole...

Jason Sobel ‏@JasonSobelESPN  7 seconds ago

Tiger then chipped about six balls from three different locations around the first green. And you know what? He looked really, really good.

The only problem is "it's practice." The issue with Tiger has been he's chipped it great on the practice range and at home, and played great, but on the golf course, he can't do it. A lot of that is just plain mental. He needs to fix his mental game, and we'll find out Thursday if it's fixed or not.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
