He’ll probably win 6 times this year, but only two of them will be majors.  He’ll come in fourth here though.

I'll be surprised if he tee's it up more than 6 times this year.

Why?

I'd take that bet. How much?

P.S. I'm assuming you mean the 2017-18 PGA Tour season, not literally the rest of the "year" 2017.

[MacDutch]

This year still is 2017. But even if it was I would take the bet.

Woods is teeing it up more then 6 times in one round.

I hate to say it but Tigers back has never been his problem. If you look at when his career started going downhill it all began when he quit sleeping with 500 women a year. Unless he's swinging the bars as well as he's swinging his driver, he'll probably come last at the hero.

I had a look at his career on Wikipedia.  In 2013 he made 16 cuts in 16 starts, had 5 wins, and was the #1 player in the world.  That was 3 years after his infidelities came to light and his subsequent divorce.

I know this is probably sarcasm but as someone who missed watching Tiger in his prime I would love to see this.  It would also be cool to see how the top guys on tour like Speith, DJ, Rory...etc stack up against Tiger when he is playing well

You are so literal. Yes the whole season and I don't bet with strangers online since it is illegal.

No, it's not. On TW, you're a hater beyond what's even rational.

Just a week and a half out. Errybody knows it's Tigs coming back, and nobody moves the needle like he does...

Predictions? Comments?

I think there'll be more guys finishing above him than below him, personally.

I had Tiger`s first victory coming Sunday April 8 2018. However hearing from Fowler Day and Faxon stating he is driving it farther than Dustin Johnson, I am taking Tiger to win right out the gate, first win at The Hero, cant wait .

Bro, you missed out. I'll try to describe, but you really had to be there....there was something electric, magnetic, almost ethereal about him playing. People who'd never cared about golf were glued to the TV. The anticipation of him making a move was palpable.

I'll be honest, back in the day I would get giddy watching him. The adrenaline was incredible.

Well, all I can do is hope he has a couple more really good years left in him.

Not sarcasm so much as blindly absurd optimism.  :) At this point, I wouldn’t dare even attempt to make any actual predictions because I haven’t the foggiest idea how a healthy 40-something Tiger Woods would stack up against today’s best.  I am starting to get a little excited, though, to see what may happen.

I would be so excited if either of these happened.  Or anything in between

How does anyone think Tiger Woods will do when he returns

I don't know how he will play he said that the last time his back was good but he still withdrew from the tournament

I predict that he will blow it by Ricky a few times. Way way by.

Yeah, I had heard of this phenom  called Tiger before I knew golf was played with a different ball than the one used in field hockey.
