They do.
He has been striking it really well this week so far.
A couple of 20' putts today doesn't hurt either.
It's far more fun when he's in the mix.

Yeah, the only scenario in which he moves on is with a First place finish this weekend.vcsgrizzfan wrote:If he can win, he gets into Firestone right?

Re: Tiger Woods starting to come around. + 3 thru 4
What's with the Tiger obsession?
I don't follow golf in any great detail, but hasn't he been fairly shitty for a long time now?

He's had a rough go of it......but he's arguably the GOAT and he's still the top draw on the PGA.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

1.5 years ago he won 5 tournaments, and was Player of the year. He was subpar last year and this, so far. But he's had a back surgery and learned a new swing. Give it some time.Bush4Ever wrote:What's with the Tiger obsession?

Re: Tiger Woods starting to come around. + 3 thru 4
That's cool. I just didn't know.
I remember way back in the day the talk was how he was going to *obviously* break the majors record.
Guess not. Chickens, hatch, etc...

If I were betting, I would take your side of the bet too. I hope I'm wrong though.

No argument. I can't defend the tantrums on the course and the moral compass needs no comment, obviously. I had this same discussion with Abe a few days ago. I think I've gotten desensitized to athletes being complete assholes and just divorce all that from what they do on the field now.jordanzone wrote:..I will agree Tiger adds that certain je ne sais quoi to the game of golf and that is definitely good for the game itself...however, I'm not a fan of his theatrics nor his moral compass(which is very rare that I even lend a passing thought to an athlete outside of their field of play) ...and I see much of that as a result of his father passing, much like how Tyson was after Cus passed...we'll see though...vcsgrizzfan wrote:If I were betting, I would take your side of the bet too.

Re: Tiger Woods starting to come around. + 3 thru 4
Tiger is probably the only athlete that I know of who could enter into flow more easily (and more often) than Michael Jordan in his prime.
From 98 to 2006 or so Tiger practically played while in flow every time he teed it up.
