Hero was petty positive in my opinion. It will be interesting to see if something has changed since then. Being a full field and more of a standard tour stop, he could feel more pressure (self-inflicted) to play well. I think he'll make the cut, but not be over 25th by the end.

I think he makes the cut but I don't think he will be match fit enough mentally or physically to challenge near the top. I say 50+.

i hope he proves me wrong but I think he will need a handful of tourneys before he's challenging the top few.

While I happen to think he'll be in the lower half of players that make the cut, really there is no outcome that should be all that surprising.   If he is not completely healthy, WD is definitely in the cards.    But lets just say that he's completely healthy.  We're talking about a guy that has 79 career wins (in a relatively short career).  As long as he's swinging comfortably, even a Tiger Woods that is showing some signs of rust has the ability to make a run at a win.   I'm quite sure the guy still knows how to get around a golf course.  (especially this one)

Agreed. I think it's easy to forget just how good he can really be. If he is strong (sounds like he is) and well practiced (no reason he shouldn't be) and plays well (that's the million dollar question) then he can win this week.

His swing looks good to my amateur eyes.  I hope he is in contention come this weekend.

I voted middle third. The Hero proved he could play four rounds in succession, and it seems like Tiger, and his team, are making sound decisions about his return to the Tour. They don't seem to be in a hurry. I'm thinking there may be one or two stops in Florida and/or Texas before the Masters. Would be nice to see him at Bay Hill again.

And I'm also thinking that he finishes in the upper part of that middle third.

I still find it visually jarring with the way he seemingly stands up and pulls off the ball through impact... Alot of timing must be going on there.  But based on how he played at the Hero challenge, Im fully expecting Tiger to finish in the top 20. Possibly even top 10 if he drives it well.

Tiger tees it up at 10:40 on the South Course with Hoffman and Reed.

First groups out today in a half hour at 9 am Pacific time.

    • after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....
    • this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.
    • day 57. Technique practice in the net. Really trying to slow down. 
    • It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.
