Tiger Predictions?


hckymeyer

Recommended Posts

The moment a lot of us have been waiting years for is almost upon us.  Tiger's return to competitive golf on tour.  He's teeing it up with Patrick Reed for the first 2 rounds starting Thursday.

 

This should all be no surprise unless you've had your head in a hole the past week.  What remains to be seen is how he will play.  So lets have some fun and hear your Tiger predictions for the week.  Under par?  Make the Cut?  Top 10?  In contention?  Chili dip chips?

 

What say you guys?

Only 18 players in the field, there is no cut

 

I'm guessing he finishes in bottom 5, there are no slouches in this group, but I think he may play well....more about the competition he is facing

 

Prediction, 2 Under

Don't think he'll be contending for anything come Sunday but it's exciting to see him healthy and coming back.  My guess is he'll post something between 6 to 10 under par for the event.  It's not a hard Tour level track so he should be able to put up some decent scores for his first event back in action.  Really I just want to see him hitting some good shots again.  No yips, no back spasms...just good TW golf.

Ha ha....good point on the no cut.  I'm just hoping he doesn't come in last.  Top half of the field would be a huge win for him.

I think we will see some flashes. Maybe they'll be very bright and show he still has game to win big but I'm not betting my house on it. I hope so cause I think he could still win another major.

I think he will finish 2nd to last, with the last place person on full-eject by the end of the 3rd round. That being said, the other 17 guys have been playing at a high level steadily for the majority of 2016. This isn't some ol' Monday qualifier sneak-in tourney.

Well as I told a friend yesterday morning that didn't realize it was such as small field, I predict a Top 20 finish...LOL  

 

But seriously, I see him shooting a couple good rounds below par but also struggling in a couple, to finish a few below par.   I certainly hope for everyone especially him, that he doesn't have the short game yips again.   I don't think anybody, Tiger fan or not wants to see that.

We'll see some flashes and some rust. Probably somewhere around par for the score. Maybe a couple of under. I don't see any way he brings his A or B game but who knows. I'd be impressed to see his C game.

It's a bit of a stretch to call this a tournament.  He certainly is coming back on his own terms, with as little pressure as possible.  He will probably be ok, but how much it really means is debatable.

 

What will really count is playing in a full field tournament, with a cut, on a course where a solid short game is needed.  

 

Until then we won't know where Tiger is at.

Middle of the pack. Some good shots, but my guess is a couple stinkers too. I'm not necessarily a "fan", but he's the best I've ever seen, so it's good for golf that he's playing again.

I think he'll be middle of the pack in finishing.

Like my game, Tiger will show instances of greatness, but also like my game reality will bring him back to us mortals.

I hope he is healthy and his mind is in the right place for golf. The game needs a guy that dominants weekly. Who scares you by just being in the field. We need Tiger badly imo

The game needs him more.

TW will finish middle of the pack - I'll say 12th for fun - He'll have one round which gets us all thinking he can win another major (Probably round 3) - but there will be enough shots which remind us he's human and hasn't played competitively in a loooooooooong time.

This is a home game and he has been playing the course for who knows how long.  I don't expect any rust in the short game.  If he is truly healthy, he will do well.  I am not a Tiger fan, but I think he should be in the Top 5.  If he finishes last like he did in 2014, I think he is done.

 

I agree with Peaksy.  This isn't a true tournament where he will be traveling, getting practice in on a relatively unfamiliar course, and have 154 players to beat.  When he finishes in the top 10 in a tour event, then I will begin to get excited.

Safest bet is bottom third to middle of the pack.  IMO, his struggles since fire hydrant gate are all mental, regardless of the injuries that have popped up.  He's been playing golf, the swing apparently looks good, but how he is mentally won't be seen until he tees off competitively, with the cameras rolling.  

 

So really, I think this is either the beginning of the end, where he realizes it truly is over and we see a bowing out plan, or his current health and hopefully improved mental health propel him back into the upper tiers and we see him competing on Sunday again.

 

But IF he uses this as momentum, starts playing better and ultimately starts winning again, including majors, it'd be one of the best stories in golf.

Tiger is looking pretty decent. Did slightly chunk one chip but it was a very tough up and down. Definitely not a yip. -3 at the turn.

Swing looks pretty good; seems like a longer, more fluid swing albeit a little slower.  Chipping looks fine, but it's his home course and I'd expect that.  Let's see what happens when it gets to crunch time.

I think Medalist is his home course. But he is very familiar with this one being a member.

The dropped club twirl is hilarious! Based off how today went I'm predicting Top 5, simply because I want to see it and it's good for golf.
