Tiger's back

First topic message reminder :

This needs its own thread, if only to provide a forum for super to vent his frothy outrage.

So what do we think of his back? And is he really back, or is it just another false dawn?

Personally I think this hero fun comp is the perfect chance to return.. small field, no cut, limited pressure. Although this could be a bit of Kevin Spacey style deflection after his recent court appearance.

I would have thought GIR would be a more pertinent stat Diggers. You don't win majors by getting up and down for par, but you can miss greens from the middle of the fairway. I remember seeing "Needs More Reps" stats once and if I recall correctly during his purple patch he was down in the lower quarter for driving accuracy, but made up for it by being top quarter for GIR.
I'll give him credit for his ability to get away with shocking driving stats.

This just demonstrates Tiger's excellent course management. He was very good at assessing when it was safe to hit driver and miss the fairway. Often better to be hitting a wedge from the first cut than 7 iron from the middle of the fairway. When there penalty for missing the fairway was severe he laid up... it was common to see him play long iron off the tee.

I disagree, the amount of Hollywood shots he took on and ended up with a miracle recovery rather proves he didn't assess things very well.

He did that a bit later in his career. Earlier he used his 2-iron a lot.
