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.

Amen!!!!! :-)

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

Basically all the Nike guys changed their equipment right away.

As to why Tiger switched. My guess would be a combo of these three reasons
- He's free to experiment with other stuff out there
- He'll get paid
- There are rumors he and other investors/his group might buy TaylorMade

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.

I never rooted for Tiger in his prime...I am rooting for his comeback. That putt and fist pump was probably the most enjoyment I've gotten out of seeing a Tiger putt go in.


Can't wait to see the highlights tonight after work with a brewski :) Sad I missed it live/live TV.

Geez. I go to some meetings and come back to find TW tearing up the back. :-O

So he hasn't grabbed his back or any other signs like that the past two days? If so, that's awesome.

Nope. Nothing.

I still think his walk is a bit stiffer, but… I suppose that's bound to happen. Hell, I probably walk stiffer now than I did 15 years ago.

This will be filed under 'Refusal to co-operate'. If the tear up doesn't continue tomorrow and Sunday we should all know where the blame will lie..

On a different note, what predominant or go to shot shape is he gaming? I just saw a short clip of his 'near ace' on GC which seemed like a mini cut swing (of course I am just guessing on the flight and maybe just a function of the hole demand).

Nice to hear he shot bogey free 65.  Can't wait till the weekend rounds.

Right. His speed was good and he was fine after hitting shots from weird sidehill lies.

 

I don't care that it's not a regular event or that the course isn't playing that hard, this was a huge round for Tiger from where he's come from, both health and swing wise (especially with the driver). Not saying "he's back" but this was a big step in the right direction.

I have not watched golf in a long time, but I think I may have to watch a little bit of this tonight.

Hahahaha - like many here, I'm giddy with excitement over this upcoming year.

I'd like to make a formal motion that @CarlSpackler must go and hide in the meeting room all weekend as previously suggested...anyone second?

Notah Begay said he had dropped some lbs, and wasn't hitting the heavy weights much.

I've said this before, it feels like he gets sick a lot.
