NFT: Golf Thread - Hero World Challenge. Tiger's back!

Danny Kanell : 12/1/2016 1:36 pm
He looks great so far. Tied for the early lead at -4 through 8. Cool to see him back.

Hi Stan!
Welcome back Tiger!!  
GiantGolfer : 12/1/2016 1:40 pm : link
We've missed you!!
Tiger just hit a driver into the next area code  
djm : 12/1/2016 1:44 pm : link
And not straight.

Great field in this tournament by the way

Why so dramatic? He just missed the fairway to the left. Still can make par with an up and down from left side of the green.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.  
Crispino : 12/1/2016 1:48 pm : link
Can he put 4 rounds together?
.  
Danny Kanell : 12/1/2016 1:51 pm : link
I think I jinxed him lol
I like how Tiger is using equipment he trusts.  
GiantGolfer : 12/1/2016 1:54 pm : link
No equipment sponsorship for him.

TaylorMade woods, Nike irons and wedges, Scotty Cameron putter and Bridgestone ball.
Is Tiger still playing golf?  
Stan in LA : 12/1/2016 2:06 pm : link
I thought he retired...
3 under thru 9

eat shit haters.
Patrick reed, just knocked his t shot into the hazard....  
thrunthrublue : 12/1/2016 2:30 pm : link
Golf channel audio, his technical response as the ball is in flight....."shit, that's in the water"

Danny Kanell : 12/1/2016 2:38 pm : link
Kuchar is the oldest looking 38 year old of all time.
"Eat shit haters"?  
Crispino : 12/1/2016 2:55 pm : link
The guy's 5 shots off the lead now. I don't think anyone thought he couldn't break par in a round at a tournament like this. He's JAG right now until he proves otherwise.

Well JAG is a relative term. Half ass golfer that I am, I can see his finesse shots are off - lack of his usual touch - typical of not playing for a while under pressure. Probably trying to do to much; too much body, over swinging, plus some new equipment. His swing looks fluid. His putting looks ok.
He'll likely be a JAG in a few tournies early. But talent usually comes to the front.

He just hit a 7 iron 200 yds to 10 feet.
Nobody says that he has no talent left.  
Crispino : 12/1/2016 3:19 pm : link
But you have to be able to do it for four rounds under every circumstance. All I'm saying is that this one round does not equal "Tiger's Back!" Like he's never missed a beat and he's going to start winning everything he plays in. People are acting like a round under par, several strokes off the lead, means he's ready to start dominating again. Let's not jump the gun.

Yes, you are correct. that is quite true, let's see his back (and knee) last 4 rounds.

Just as he pulls a 5 iron into the weeds, chuncks out and then over cooks a chip.
Come, Tiger's been done for a while now  
Stan in LA : 12/1/2016 3:49 pm : link
This is ceremonial golf at best.
Rough finish but great to see him back on the course.  
GiantGolfer : 12/1/2016 4:04 pm : link
Clearly still has some kinks to work out, but if his health holds up he'll get there.


So, a respectable showing, but the finish shows....  
Crispino : 12/1/2016 4:06 pm : link
why you can't jump the gun. Nine strokes off the lead after shooting a 73.
So Tiger's next to last  
Stan in LA : 12/1/2016 4:32 pm : link
Expected.
Golf needs  
Gman11 : 12/1/2016 4:41 pm : link
a Tiger resurgence. You don't hear people talking golf as much any more. Guys like Day and Speith just don't get people excited.
Fun to watch Tiger playing again  
jlukes : 12/1/2016 4:59 pm : link
and it shitstain Stan coming on this thread to bash Tiger was probably the most likely post in BBI history

Can't we just be happy that he's back playing again? Are we allowed to cheer for him? Let me know....
My comments were directed at the poster above who...  
Crispino : 12/1/2016 11:11 pm : link
posted "eat shit haters" as if a 3 under front nine meant he's gonna win the Masters. It's just as dumb as Stan's bashing.
I can't believe people still care about Tiger Woods.  
Mr. Bungle : 12/1/2016 11:51 pm : link
It's not 2009 anymore.
I agree  
gidiefor : Mod : 12/2/2016 6:48 am : link
that it would be good for golf to have a Tiger resurgence

but that first round, while there were some pluses, was not a great round

nice post...why don't you wait until at least 18 is over before making a fool of yourself...and I don't hate Tiger.

BronxBombers : 12/2/2016 2:04 pm : link
like I said brotha, eat shit hater, just dropped a 65 in round 2...do you play golf? if you did you'd know that the range between scores is about 10-12 strokes any given day...73 in his first round, not terrible, 65 in round 2, he's back bud.

I do play golf, I just don't know what is wrong with you that you feel it's necessary to post your vile comments. If your point is Tiger did well say so and leave it at that, you just sound like such a child, very sad.

Kevin in CT : 12/3/2016 1:17 pm : link
Just holed out from the bunker for birdie.


Great to see him back!
That 18th hole is a thorn in Tiger's side this week.  
GiantGolfer : 12/3/2016 5:48 pm : link
Still a good showing today.

Wheels getting a little wobbly on the back 9 today.
I'm actually surprised at how well he's played so far.  
Crispino : 12/3/2016 8:49 pm : link
The talent is still there, you still see the flashes of brilliance. Regaining consistency is going to be the battle.
That said, I'm not rooting for him, as golf thread guys know. I just can't stand the guy.

overall - he's making a good showing for his first tournament back in over a year -- and holding his own in an impressive field of golfers -- his putting and his short game are definitely improved from the last outings

If he could consistently hit the fairways -- he'd be playing lights out
