After nearly a year getting urgent much needed repairs the express is less than twenty-four hours from firing up and starting the greatest comeback in the history of sport.
Currently world number 1199 the only way is up. To quote the great man from 21 years ago 'I've heard i'm not ready for you, the question is are you ready for me' Let the greatest show on earth roll once more! |
|
By:
1199 to 668 in one week - come on Tiger. Top 100 by the Masters? Too much to hope for?

By:
cantlay went from 1866 to 42 last season, so its not impossible

Hope he plays a lot, nothing better than reps after the last few years he's had. I think for once there is cause for optimism as the speed is there and doesn't look like an old man swing protecting his back. Short game especially chipping look a problem and difficult to know whether that is rustiness or yips that might never go away.

Moved up 155 spots this week to 389. If he keeps that pace up, will be no 1 in 3 weeks

Up 800 spots in three months!
Very impressive at the Honda, Fastest club head speed Longest off the tee Best proximity to the pin The signs are looking good Choo Choo |

By:
Bay Hill price Mighty? Go on have a stab. I'll estimate something around the 17s mark.
|

By:
His game is in unbelievably good condition.
iron play last week was great esp distance control, putting mostly very good-just the odd blip, chipping getting better all the time better off the tee too The only thing I was worried about was when Tiger was asked about forthcoming plans-he said something like "back to the gym for some hard work". I hope he doesn't overdo the gym stuff. |

Wonderful to see Tiger back, a true great of Sport.
Best player I've ever seen, comfortably. My only concern from weekend was when truly under the gun, ie at 15,17 Tec, he really really hit some very very poor shots. Clearly not fully trusting himself. Augusta really punish him if can't address that. It did the last time he was up there . |
|
By:
Think thats a bit harsh zaf
on 17 he birdied on saturday and hit a good shot on sunday into the heart of the green on 15 on sunday he was firing at the pin and was a couple of yards right of the target. Not sure what price he will go off rhino will depend who else is in the field. Bay Hill not an over popular destination. The market stayed higher than I thought it would on saturday when he was going well so think there are a few yet to be convinced. It will be interesting to see if he plays valspar. Personally think he would benefit from a couple more starts prior to the masters. |

Tiger commits to the Valspar and AP Invitational
Great news a couple more competitive events should help him sharpen up for the masters. Also shows the back is holding up well |
|
By:
Is he doing the ceremonial tee-off?

It would be nice wouldn't it. Of course, that was post Honda - had he not played last week think it would have been about right.

tiger has played 11 events since his comeback and is currently top 100 in world rankings
if you work out his true average ranking he is just outside top 10 at 5.53 points per event |
|
By:
more magic over the weekend from the goat shame he dunked it on 17 cost him a top five finish.
Up to 80 in the world now next step the top 50 |
|
By:
true average of 5.77 now would put him 11th !
|
|
By:
Next up Muirfield Village. Apparently he likes it there.
Has made qualifying for the Firestone send off a big priority, how he makes it. |

By:
* hope

Found the big announcement would play in The Open a tad strange.
Of course he plays FFS.... |

By:
Donny, I'm pretty certain Tiger has played only 8 events since his comeback in December.

YANKS currently hold all 4 Major Championship titles.
The last time the USofA held all 4 Major Titles and The Players' Championship simultaneously was in 2000-01, when Tiger Woods won all five of those tournaments in a row. |

By:
Doesn't even register that he won The Players in that year. Absolutely mind boggling.

The highest average World Ranking Points someone has managed.....we can assume it was probably Tiger in the early 2000’s.....YES, Tiger went beyond 32 average points at his peak. Different galaxy.
|
|
By:
At one point his average was more than the next three combined.
Donny--3 of those tournaments were before his latest comeback |
