He's in last place (now), how would he warrant a final grouping?

This is more common than it may appear, just not used to Tiger being the 1st single off.

Good point. I guess because it's Friday I wasn't thinking about pairings/tee times based on position in the field.

It's Tiger and it's his tourney. I bet he could if he really wanted to. Not saying he would, just that it's probably possible...LOL…

Ok, I feel you.

I'm more concerned because I predicted a pretty nice range for Tiger to finish, 15-18.  And now one of those slots is gone, significantly dropping my odds at winning the M2 driver that was offered to the over/under champion.

TW is -1 today. Reed and Koepka are -2.

Interesting. I'm surprised he wouldn't partner himself up with another group instead of playing solo...

It's still a tournament with rules and procedures. And Tiger wants guys to continue to play in it, too, so he wouldn't threaten that.

Tiger's through 7 in barely an hour. And he's -2 today.

Bubba seems to be having quite the day. 2 birdies and an eagle.

Lol @ commentators calling a guy playing the front nine in 1.5 hrs "fast and furious"...

Vin Diesel was playing today???  Who was the commentator who said that? Johnny Miller?

[StefanUrkel]

Bubba the god watson going to shoot 59

Good grief...when that man flushes a iron....the feels....

Driver swing looks a lot better to me than we saw in 2014-2015.

The scooping/steering motion (or whatever swing gurus want to call it) seems to mostly be gone and he's releasing the club again.

6 under today!!!.......a solid Friday so far for TW!!!

Any reason to why? I know Nike is getting out of the equipment business, but I didn't think they'd drop this fast

Wow!!!!!!.....a totally studly par-saving putt by TW on 16!!!!!

 

[turtleback]

Hard to imagine anyone not getting a real thrill when he drained the par putt on 16.  I don't know if he is "back" but this is great stuff.

yep! good to see that

Great round Tiger. Bogey-free, one fantastic par save from that bush, he's got to be feeling amazing.

Beautiful rhythm all day, I love how he swung it.
