Yeah, bunch of scrubs, too - only 8 of the top 9 in the world rankings, and 9 more guys between 15 and 32. There's plenty of reasons to temper optimism, but the strength of the field this weekend isn't one of them.

In most most of the swings on drives/long shots, it appeared he compensated for the lack of rotation on the backswing with an extreme follow thru. He seemed to complete the event this week without any major health set backs. But that swing looks like its going to be a lot of stress on the back/shoulders going forward. Brst of luck to him.

I think most people were evaluating Tiger vs par and if he didn't drop out. I don't think they cared about the quality or quantity of the field.

One of the worst showing why he's exactly that

Would it have been more impressive if he had included 50 other golfers all of whom are worse than the 18 guys he picked?

Well, if not that, then I'm not sure why it mattered if they were handpicked or not. It's not like there's a lot of in-your-face WWE-style intimidation among pro golfers, where the "wrong" guy showing up would have really thrown him off his game.
(As long as it wasn't Elin brandishing a Niblick)

Sister in law is on set with him today down at PGA Resort in Palm Beach for a Bridgestone Golf Balls Commercial Shoot.
Hasn't lost ALL his endorsements, I guess

Totally anecdotal observations. The good news is he finished all four days of an event.

After four separate swing coaches, Tiger is going solo and will be his own coach.

As long as he gets back on the murder path every tournament, I'm game. Please come back to form, Tiger.

I’ve never really understood Swing Coaches...it’s one thing if you are making a change. But Caddies know their guy and enough about the game to keep them on track...did Nicklaus have one? Watson? Norman? Faldo-Ledbetter is the first time I remember hearing it. When did it start?

Exclusive Rory McIlroy interview: 'It's a different Tiger - he can stun the world once again'
The Telegraph

Rory McIlroy believes that Tiger Woods will “stun the world – again” this year after beginning his resurrection in London. McIlroy played with Woods in November and was amazed by the 14-time major winner’s display at the Bear’s Club, Jack Nicklaus’s Florida course near the players’ homes.
At that stage, Woods had not played competitively since February when he pulled out of the Dubai Desert Classic. The 42-year-old then underwent a spinal fusion, a radical operation which led to predictions that his career was over.
However, Woods returned at the Hero World Challenge two months ago, where he commendably finished in a tie for ninth in an 18-man field. McIlroy was not surprised by that, after what he had witnessed a few weeks beforehand when Woods had invited him for 18 holes.
“I was on my way there worrying thinking, ‘what will I see?’, but it was incredible,” McIlroy told Telegraph Sport. “My dad [Gerry] also played with us and we both couldn’t believe it. I remember mouthing to Dad, ‘WTF?’. And on the drive home afterwards, we said: ‘Where the hell did that come from?’ Tiger was that good; playing every shot, not having to hold back.
“Tiger told me how he’d fixed it and how it was a mini-miracle, considering how bad it had been. He travelled to London to see the ultimate consultant on these things, who told him the only guy who could fix this was in Texas. Tiger went through the procedure and now he’s back.”
Like everyone McIlroy looked on in admiration as Woods relaunched his career in the Bahamas. “This is a different Tiger. He could stun the world – again,” said McIlroy with a rueful grin, mindful of losing the world No 1 tag to him in 2013 when Woods won five tournaments. But McIlroy seems more impressed this time around.
“When he came back in 2013, all he did was hit a big cut and was getting himself around with his chipping and putting,” McIlroy said. “And, yeah, that is incredible in itself. But he’s got everything again now. You can talk about Jordan [Spieth] and JT [Justin Thomas] and all of them not seeing Tiger in his pomp, but I tell you what, I’ve never really seen Tiger at that level. He could be the story of the year. I hope he isn’t, I hope I am. But then if Tiger wins just one then he will be the story anyway.”

Would be nice to see him make the cut.

Of all the things Tiger has changed over the years, I think his putter grip has always stayed the same.

He looks relaxed, but not as relaxed as that night he took a fistful of Ambien and stayed up all night banging that Denny's waitress.

what is the cut line projected?

+2 through 7 holes. Projected cut line is at -1 right now, so he's probably going to have to shoot at worst 3 under through the last 11 holes to play tomorrow. He'd better hope he has an OG Tiger birdie run in him.

Birdied #1 (his 10th hole) and parred #2. Needs to shave at least 2 strokes over the last 7 holes to have a shot at making the cut. Two par 5s to go.

Tiger hovering around cut lines all season will be great for the tour, will bring out lots of fans for early rounds.

Birdied the first par 5, back to E. Needs one more stroke.... come on, Tiger !Birdied #1 (his 10th hole) and parred #2. Needs to shave at least 2 strokes over the last 7 holes to have a shot at making the cut. Two par 5s to go.
