Hideki did just that on 17.Keith Mitchell almost hit it into the bleachers.
You will watch the Genesis if he didn’t play. Many others would not.I dunno, I've been a Tiger fan since he was 16. I've probably watched 80-90% of his professional tournaments. I watched a ton of his amateur career. Are people still excited to watch him play? I'm actually... Not. Unless he's found the fountain of youth, he's not very good anymore.
I will watch because he's probably my favorite athlete of all time, but I'll quickly stop paying attention if he continues to suck.

It probably won't still be a concern by the weekend. I love Tiger, I just don't see him making a cut in a designated event.Tiger playing this week at Riv.
Generally I’m stoked he’s playing, though I’m going with my 6 year old for the weekend and generally I envisioned a more low key weekend.
Oh well….
Good point, more likely than not it just creates more Thursday/Friday buzz.It probably won't still be a concern by the weekend. I love Tiger, I just don't see him making a cut in a designated event.
He made the cut in 2 majors last year.It probably won't still be a concern by the weekend. I love Tiger, I just don't see him making a cut in a designated event.
I agree that odds are high that he stinks or just physically can’t hold up through a 72-hole tournament, but we don’t really know. He has only played 3 times since almost losing a leg. We thought he was washed up in 2017 and then he was the best player in the world for a stretch From 2018-2019. As unlikely as it seems, Until we see more I think there’s a bit of a mystery of if he can do it again, if only for a week. It’s doubtful, but again, it was doubtful back in 2017 too.And then what![]()
The party stuff gets the hype but I think it’s the best back 9 on Tour. Action city."Just hit it at the bottle of Jack Daniels."
This tournament is fun.
I’d still take Augusta’s back 9, but this is a good one.The party stuff gets the hype but I think it’s the best back 9 on Tour. Action city.
Meant to exclude major venues. 13-18 is as good as anywhere else. Can go real low or make big numbers. Lots of variance, which to me makes it interesting.I’d still take Augusta’s back 9, but this is a good one.
Totally fair. And I agree, a wide range of outcomes makes it interestingMeant to exclude major venues. 13-18 is as good as anywhere else. Can go real low or make big numbers. Lots of variance, which to me makes it interesting.
4 days of walking 18 holes seems like a long shot.Surprised that Tiger chose to play in yesterday’s pro-am. He picked up on 16.

He's not going to cut corners. The pro-am is part of playing a tour event. I believe the rule used to be that withdrawing or missing the pro-am meant withdrawing from the tournament. The players have more leeway these days, but it is generally frowned upon. I'm sure the Tour would've accomodated if he asked out but I don't think it's in his DNA to do so, just like how he refuses to entertain the idea of a cart. Similarly, he got what is perceived as a bad draw for him in the actual tournament. He is late/early meaning he'll have ~12 hours between the conclusion of his 1st round to his 2nd round tee time. I'm sure he could've whispered in someone's ear to get early/late but I don't think that's how he rolls. If he's playing, he wants to be treated like every other player in the field.Surprised that Tiger chose to play in yesterday’s pro-am. He picked up on 16.

Me either. I have total faith I would end up there.I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone hit it into the bunker JT is in.
To be fair, those two bunker shots were ridiculously hard.Maybe Tiger’s sand game isn’t as good as it appeared earlier.
I think this is his new A gameWhether he makes the putt or not, Tiger did a hell of a job righting the ship and then getting back under par. Very impressive considering he has maybe his “C” game today.
