Tiger Woods swung a golf club!!!

[Kaos]

Y’all can be mad if you want but Tiger has the largest following yesterday and the roars could be heard across the course. The guy brings crowds, ratings and money to the PGA. 

The only thing lost is how impressive it was to see Keopka continuing to drop putts even when he knew Tiger was in the hunt and it seemed like everyone crowd there wanted to see Tiger win.

Tiger Woods played like one of the top 5 golfers in the world yesteday. The problem he is facing now is that other players aren’t as intimidated as they were years ago. We saw it in the open, he was in the hunt after 9 yet his playing partner won the tournament. Yesterday Brooks didn’t fall apart.

Who are these people "roaring?"  

Bama fans.

Apparently St. Louis has a lot of bama fans...who knew.

Dammit, Buzz, you're supposed to let me know when you come to town.

I wanted to surprise you.  Ro Ti!

I think it was going to be a pickle surprise.

Dude.

Hate the guy all you want, but you are dead ass wrong about this take.

Sunday, I had to go to a birthday dinner. I took my phone to watch the end of the tournament. No way I give a fuck about that if Tiger isn't in contention.

And I'm not a Tiger fan. I just want to see what happens.

Golf Digest posted that ratings for the PGA Championship were up 69% from last year.

And that was just in all the Perkins' across the country.

You just like to say 69.

ok, I admit that it moved. But I wasn’t thinking about you. Just your wife.

That's sort of a definition of bandwagon.  

Same thing with Bama.  The people who don't care until Bama is good they can glom on and be in the moment or watch them hoping for an implosion so they can point and laugh.

Because he was in contention. When he’s not there isn’t much difference. That’s the key.

Let's be realistic, though.  For all the yapping and yowling that he's back, or whatthehellever.  Which scenario is more likely: 

43 year old doesn't ever get back to prime form.  Maybe wins another tournament but will have a hard time winning a major (considering that only four men of his age have in the last 50 years) 

--or--

43 year old returns to dominance and runs off a series of wins. 

This is Michael Jordan with the Washington Bullets. 
It's Joe Montana at Kansas City
It's Johnny Unitas with the Chargers
It's Emmit Smith with the Cardinals, Jerry Rice with the Seahawks, Willie Mays with the Mets

You'll see flashes of why you remember him as being one of the greats.  He'll have good days.  But he's also going to have more and more of those days where he looks like me.  Birdie #4 and then send the drive on #5 over the road and into a thorny ditch, then have to scramble for a double bogey. 

So watch and enjoy, but for the love of Pike, accept it for what it is.  Quit covering his game like its the second coming of Golf Jesus.

Jesus played golf?

I'll bet he had a lifetime exemption at The Masters.

[Buzz Killington]

Surely Tiger Woods wouldn't interrupt the game of my life!

[Snaggletiger]

I don't think the hard stuff is going to come down for a while.

Not sure he was white.  Didn't make the cut.

If the truth be known, the only reason that Wes and token praise Tiger so much is that they’d both like to play with his putter.

Must be a lynching.
