Tiger shoots 70 in a PRO-AM and the world goes nuts


JBones

Recommended Posts

Yeah, so Tiger shot 70 today and thats all I've heard about for the past few hours.  Do we really care what Tiger shot in a Pro-am?  I'm excited about his return, but come on.  

 

Here is Tiger talking about getting back out there.  The best question from the short interview....."whats it like to be out there in pants, walking". LOL

 

"I felt good out there...I'll be ready for tomorrow." Listen to Tiger chat after his round.

golf with Tiger >>>>>>>> golf w/o Tiger

So true Dave. I don't have cable, just Netflix, and I've been wondering what I'll do tomorrow and Friday with no chance to catch Tiger live. Directtvnow came out today, and I signed up for the free trial just to watch the Golf Channel's coverage.

 

The worst part is I'm more excited about this than I have been any sporting event in recent memory. Dak ain't got nothing on Tiger's return.

Possibly he was "pacing himself" to save energy, and his back, for the actual tourney....?

 

And also showing everyone he's still got it .. and can play under par without trying too hard....?

 

Only Tiger knows what's inside Tiger's head.....

Tiger isn't coming back to compete... the man has seen what the boys have been doing and wants his thrown back... he wants to dominate and prove everyone wrong...  

 

BTW has Charlie been allowed put the Method in the garden yet for a tomato stake yet? We can be certain of one thing... the Scotty isn't being pried from his hands again...

Well he went from Tiger to just plain ol' Eldrick real fast today.  Hopefully tomorrow he plays better.  That dead pull with the driver is still there, unfortunately.

 

Not a whole lot of celebrating in this thread tonight so he must not of shot 7 or 8 under like many had hoped for.   I didn't watch the tournament today as I'm more in to football mode at this time of the year.

He came out of the round healthy with something to build on. Don't know how much more realistically expected

I think he'll end up in the lower third of the field come Sunday. Anyone who expects him to win is crazy IMO.

 

Play well, build off of it, stay healthy and keep moving forward. That's a win in my book for Tiger. It's just good to see him back in there either way.

I haven't seen him play and Golf Channel dropped the ball on programming and has the Euro tour on prime time for some reason.  From what I read, he played very well on the front and ran out of gas on the back.  Some of his major concern issues seem to be gone, so I agree with others that all he can do is build on this, focus on playing good golf all four rounds and get back into playing shape.

I really hope he can come back as a regular on tour and be competitive. I don't understand all the Tiger hate. Maybe he isn't/wasn't the nicest guy off the course/outside the game, but I'm sure there are quite a lot of professional athletes that fit the same mold.

 

I'm more interested in Tiger the golfer than I am Tiger the person off of the golf course.

 

As a side note: I understand all too well how a person can change after a life altering experience/incident. Everyone deserves a second chance. I'm rooting for Tiger.

Tiger is the Best thing that's ever happened in Golf. That includes Spieth, Mcilroy, DJ and Day, they are all Great Golfers. But Tiger just brings a different kind of excitement to the game. To the "One Hit Wonder" Brandel Chamblee, who was never able to handle the pressure of golf be it Mental, Physical, or the Critics of golf. He is standing back hoping for the Failure of Tiger, so he can jump on his back about any and everything.

This will probably one of the Most Watched Tournaments in a couple of years!

Tiger Woods is the best Golfer ever bar none!

I missed most of the Round 2 because I was playing golf in the cold and wind.  So, I thought I'd catch the rerun and highlights on the Tiger Woods channel...  AKA Golf Channel.  I must have seen every shot Tiger made 100 times, but there are no highlights of anyone else.  I saw that Bubba, last year's champion, shot 63, two shots better than Tiger.  How did he do it?  We will never know!

 

I understand that this is Tiger's return to competitive golf, but c'mon guys!  It is still a tournament and there are other players in the field.  If they don't show the rest of the field, Tiger is just going to have to keep beating himself.

Big deal indeed...

 

 

Let's face it, not to take anything away from anyone else, but golf is more fun when Tiger doesn't suck...

Superlatives always make me uneasy. I'm not sure that Tiger is the greatest thing ever to happen to golf. He is one of the greatest golfers ever and he is great for the game. A lot of what is wrong with golf disappears if he is successful in his comeback.

 

Today is exciting to watch. Birdies, a great par save, a hole out from the bunker all along side Rocky Fowler.

 

Plus Tiger's swing looks very simple and repeatable. I'm loving it.

Doesn't look so good late in the round, just like Thursday. We need to see how he plays under pressure.

I would be shocked if he got back to being a top player consistently. I would think his ceiling is capable of winning tournaments, the Masters or another major on the right course.

 

Another words I think he will be like any other top tier tour player which is about two levels down from where he once was.
