Well............... Tiger certainly got 'da gopher this week. Probably residual excitement from his medal presentation.

He hasn't played since the Masters and some of the talking heads are speculating his back is still bothering him

The gopher is well up on Tiger at the Brit Open. +5 thru 9 thus far ain't gonna win no prize.
Did not make the cut. Neither did Phil and a fair number of other big names, like McIlroy. Ah, well. there's always next year.

Tiger missed cut at British Open. Back is still big problem. Masters is still his best shot to pass the Golden Bear because of their wide fairways. US Open, PGA, and British Open are usually played on courses that value players who can keep the ball in the fairway. When I saw Tiger at the Dell World Match Play last spring he should have left his Driver in the bag.

3-shot lead going into the final day in Japan. Can he hold on tomorrow for his 82nd PGA win to tie Sam Snead as the most by any player?

And he did. Way to go Tiger.

While he has feet-of-clay (don't we all........... ), think he is the best to ever play the game. Too bad there is really no way to have the greats of yore go head-to-head when they were each at their peak. The changes in club & ball technology also have an impact as well as the numbers of players that the best come from today. Hope he wins number 83 this next year, though four (4) more majors is likely a stretch.

What Rex Hoggard said, "In this era to win even 50 times on the PGA Tour is an unbelievable achievement in itself. Even Phil’s number [44 Tour victories], but to get to 82. I feel like I’ve had a decent career, [but] if I win six times a year for the next 10 years I still wouldn’t get there,” Rory McIlroy said.

McIlroy’s point is easy enough to prove. Among today’s active stars, only Dustin Johnson has at least 20 Tour victories. McIlroy has 17 Tour tilts, Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth have each won 11 times on Tour and Brooks Koepka, the world’s top-ranked player, has seven titles.

Combined, they trail Woods by 16 wins.

when he wins a Major like 'swing easy, hit 'em hard' did at 48 that will really say something !
