Tiger is back playing in his Hero World Challenge. He's looking pretty good so far. Hope he can play a lot this year. Should be fun to watch. Still don't think he's going to beat Jack.
Tiger is back!

Would someone else please reply? I'm trying hard not to de-rail this thread with inappropriate comments before it can truly get going.
I hope he wins or is at least competitive because in my opinion golf with Tiger is a lot more interesting than golf without Tiger!
Yeah, even if I had any confidence that his back won't cause him any more problems it'd still be an extremely long shot considering his age, his constant tinkering with his swing, and a deeper field now than he ever competed against at the height of his career.
All that said, America loves itself a good redemption story. If he's finally healthy and in a good spot mentally, it'll be fun to see him back on the course.
I'll believe it when I see him go a full 4 days.
Looking good so far. When he gets in a pickle has been able to get out of it.
I'll admit 100% I'm a Tiger guy. Always have been. His personal life was a disaster, but damn golf is just different with him around. Would love to see him get another major, but not holding my breath. There is something about watching someone or a team dominate in sports for so long. You either love it or hate it, but you watch it.

Sure, I get it. You don't have to like the guy and I absolutely get why you wouldn't, but you have to acknowledge that he's a compelling figure. For a lot of casual golf fans, he just makes a tournament more interesting.
He'll play mediocre golf for the next 1 or 2 months before needing to recover for a year from another injury.
Agreed. I'd never watch golf until the masters until I heard he was playing today. Also, I didn't realize I had the Golf Channel...so score.
Has any one person ever controlled a sport's viewership like Tiger does with golf? We have legendary athletes right now (LeBron, Messi, Federer, Brady) but none of them change their sport like Tiger does.
The bogey on the par 5 where he was greenside in 2 was a killer (#8, I think?). Could be tied for the lead right now but he butchered that hole from 40 feet.
