Tiger Woods (4 Viewers)

So let's say you see Tiger bolt over to a port-a-let. He emerges quickly in a new shirt. You hustle over to the p-a-l and grab the previous shirt he has simply left behind.

Do you wash it ever? Or do you feel it is more collectable full of Tiger sweat?

Comfortably now, after a 28-hole test in the heat, one of the best players in the world again. Threat to win every week. Ryder Cup lock. 

Just needs to clear the last hurdle and to finish...

Even more than this, he's doing this without the biggest weapon most of the top players in the world have.  If he could figure out how to hit a driver in the fairway, he'd be the best player in the world right now.

One of the best players in the world who never wins

Can’t deny he is a top 10 player in the world right now.  Would be epic if he makes a run tomorrow.  I think he needs 64 minimum.   Likely 63.

He’ll win again.  No question.  I think he takes out Snead in the next couple of years.  

Majors?   Would bet on one.  Two wouldn’t surprise.  If he stays healthy.  Will be intresting to see how he handles the playoffs and Ryder cup stretch.  No question he makes the team.  And he deserves it.

Agree he’s top 10 in the world right now, and that’s without being able to hit a driver.  Regarding added majors, I think actually once he breaks the ice and gets one more, 5 becomes pretty well within reach. He just needs to get over that mental hurdle, and thinks could get very interesting for the gold bear in the woods. 

 
CONFIRMED

Putts won't drop, but Tiger Woods moves up the board at PGA anyway

ST. LOUIS –  Tiger Woods knew the shot was good. He struck it pure from 240 yards on the 17th hole and started strutting down the fairway, watching the ball land 20 feet from the pin — one good putt away from an eagle that would have vaulted him into second place.

And Woods knew the putt was bad. He muscled it 3 feet past the hole, then pulled the comebacker off line and, after settling for a disappointing par, he briefly grabbed the putter with both hands, as if to bend it, before deciding better of it.

That par was the most disappointing of the 10 straight Woods made to finish his third round Saturday at the PGA Championship. He shot 4-under 66 to reach 8 under. That was four back of leader Brooks Koepka — well within striking range, but not as good as it might've been.

"Could've been a little closer," Woods said. "But I've got a shot going into tomorrow."

For the third straight day at the wide-open, squishy Bellerive Country Club, Woods hit the ball well from tee to green — he hit 15 greens in regulation — and looked every bit the contender he was three weeks ago at the British Open, where the cheers seemed louder and more heartfelt than they'd been in the past.

It's been much the same this week in St. Louis.

"Hearing the crowd, and Tiger's performing great, it was like turning back the hands of the clock," said Stewart Cink, who played with Woods and also shot 4 under to also finish four out of the lead.

But Tiger's putter? It brought more moans than cheers to the fans, and more frustration than joy to Woods.

He has not made a putt of longer than 17 feet over three days, and has only made five putts of more than 10 feet all week. As Saturday's round wore on, he was consistently coming up short as the already soft greens got even slower; he had six birdie tries of 20 feet or less over the back nine and didn't make one.

"The greens were getting fuzzy, they're getting slow, and I didn't hit the putts quite hard enough," Woods said. "And I made sure I did on 17. And I blew it by about four feet and then pulled the next one."

The misses on 17, combined with a missed birdie try from 15 feet below the hole on 18, took away the tantalizing prospect of Woods playing in the final group in a major for the first time since 2009 (When he lost to Y.E. Yang at the PGA.)

But it doesn't mean he won't have a chance to catch Koepka, who got to 13 under before he showed glimpses of a struggle — making back-to-back bogeys on 14 and 15 to come back to the field. Koepka closed with a two-shot lead over Adam Scott, with three more players at 9 under separating Koepka from Woods.

"The golf course is playing soft, it's gettable, you have to make birdies," Woods said.

He did just that over the first nine holes, making five birdies on the front nine on the way to a 31 that drew him within two of the lead.

What followed was another chapter in a consistent trend: Woods has played the front nine in 10-under par this week, but has played the back at 2 over.

This year? He ranks 120th in back-nine scoring average on the PGA Tour, and is tied for 10th over the front nine.

At the British Open, he shot 34 over the front nine in the final round to briefly get into the lead. He went double bogey-bogey on 11 and 12 to fall out of the lead and finished tied for sixth.

But his experience on the back nine at Bellerive was different, in part because of storms that took him off the course in the middle of his second round Friday and brought him back for a 7 a.m. restart Saturday. In all, the 42-year-old Woods put his surgically repaired back through 29 holes over 10 hours in hot, sticky weather. He not only changed shirts this time, he changed colors — from a gray-and-white striped design early in the round to royal blue from the fifth hole on.

"It's not necessarily the physical, it's mentally grinding that hard for 29 holes in this heat," he said. "It was a long day."

But not a lost day.

After finishing tied for 48th after the first round, then tied for 19th after the second, he is tied for sixth going into the last.

Hitting the ball well and in the hunt.

Now, if he can only get the putter to cooperate.

Sorry @Sinn Fein

 
He’s not going to win today to many good players ahead of him.  I am see him finishing 5th or so.  The only winner will be the tv ratings.  Lots of people wii claim he is back as always.

 
He needs a real low number today, even then it may not be good enough.

I dont see him winning today but I think he can win another major.  He needs to stay healthy.

Agree he should be on the ryder cup team

 
Tiger going out a couple groups before the leaders could be fun. If he can knock in some birdies early that tiger roar from the crowd could unsettle some guys.

At any rate, should be a fantastic final round. I have plenty of cold beer.

 
Without the driver consistency it’s harder to get his approach shots inside his partners’. Thus the grind. He’ll make more of those putts when he can start watching the other guy putt first again. That’s invaluable knowledge for speed and breaks even if his next putt isn’t on the same line. 

So many chances today. The 3-putt on 17 made me sick to my stomach so I can only imagine how he felt.

Final round of the PGA Championship. Gotta love it.

Agreed, but Tiger is back as a contender.   He isn't going to win but it's going to be fun to watch.

That was bad...chance (at that time) to get into 2nd on his own and probably in the final group with the eagle.  And then to miss the come back for Birdie.

He is really solid in singles so you want him on the team for Sunday. Plus, when he was dominating the tour there was a weird fit with him and Ryder Cup. It was tough to get him a suitable partner. Sure, some of that, if not most of it, was on Tiger but his fit with the team from a chemistry standpoint is much better now.

Care to wager?  15 year time frame or 10 years if he doesn't have 2 majors by then?

 
So there's this Woods guy who can't knock in a putt over 8 feet and can't hit a fairway with his driver. Yet somehow he's two off the lead and two under for the day. Seems like someone worth watching. Dare I say he could be dominant if he could hit his driver like an average tour pro.

fixed

 
Tiger needed his first putt of the day to go in and the other one that hung on the lip and stayed out. Things would be a lot different if those two had fallen.
