Slacker.
That was the best 9 holes he’s had all week. He really has to find a way to be more consistent with his game early in the week and he will be in contention again
Needs another 9 like that to get any significant FedEx Cup points this week.
I doubt he really, really cares about FedEx Cup points. He’s out there now to get "reps" and tournament rounds in before the US Open. Tiger has rarely been crazy low early in tournaments. With his age and physical ailments, though, he can’t afford to be so lackadaisical early any longer. He’s gotta be controlled aggressive from the beginning.
I still think a part of him is saying “I’m Tiger freaking Woods” and doesn’t want to be eliminated from the fedex cup

I dunno. I think he’s accepted his physical limitations and realizes that 4 out of 5 weeks is gonna be tough. With the US Open being the last of that run, I think he’d be fine missing the Tour Championship… especially with the stupid setup now where he’d start out 10 shots back (most likely). I think there’s a slight chance he plays next week to see where he positions himself, but if he’s not able to get within 5 shots or so at the start of the Tour Championship, he W/Ds to save the back for the US Open. He’s not stupid. He knows that the Majors are far more important than that tournament and, honestly, $10M doesn’t mean a whole hell of a lot to him anymore either.
If he wasn’t trying to get into the Tour Championship he would have just skipped this week and played the BMW as his US Open prep.
I know what you’re saying. I think with a really good showing this week, he may have pushed it, but he’s probably adjusting his plans and he realizes the TC might be out of reach now. I could be wrong. I just hope he doesn’t kill his chances playing tournaments that don’t matter.
Yea it’ll work itself out. He’s gonna need a top 5 next week I’m guessing. He’s obviously not going to let up if he’s in the hunt for the win.
Yeah, but realistically, with the new stupid setup, 10 back at the start isn’t really in the hunt. I think he knows that.
Right, I just meant in the hunt at the BMW. I don’t think starting 10 back at the Tour Championship is very appealing, but you know with how competitive he is, he hates to sit out, or especially not qualify, for the big events.
I’m just viewing this all as a build up to the masters for Tiger. More competitive rounds gets him ready for the big one.
yeah, his short game hasn’t been very good except for some bunker shots. In the grass … no bueno
I get that the lies are pretty tight around those greens but I was surprised he never really tried to lob anything over those mounds this week. Everything was low and running and seemed to leave a lot of room for error with all the undulation.
Nice eagle there for him!
It’s going to come down To flat stick for him. He is hitting the ball so well
There are a few guys coming out hot already, hoping somebody can really go low and Dustin chokes it away. ?
Agree. It’s like a mini pop stroke action that’s either on or way off… no middle ground.
i rather see guys catch Dustin and him have to fend them off. Make for great tv if cbs decides to show golf today instead of commercials
-7, great start. Hope he can keep it up on the back.
