He played well. The real proof will be in if he can consistently play this well and win again or was this just a flash of past brilliance.
Tiger looks to be back to form. Honestly, I think today's Tiger is just as good as the Tiger that used to dominate the PGA.
But the truth of the matter is that the rest of the field is much better. This includes the international field which primarily only show up for the Majors. I think he is fine but to expect him to win 5 more majors is a stretch.
I tend to agree with this. But therein lies the problem with trying to win Majors going forward. Much better fields than 10-15 years ago. Even that "other" tournament the Reno-Tahoe Open was represented by golfers with a combined 14 major championships. The talent is spread out pretty well in today's game.Tiger looks to be back to form. Honestly, I think today's Tiger is just as good as the Tiger that used to dominate the PGA.

Tiger had a great tournament.. Not a huge surprise.. he usually plays great on HIS courses.. majors are a different animal though.. majors will show flaws in your game.. Pretty much the reason why his game falls apart inn majors on the weekend.... Phil has 3 wins this year and to me his game is better suited this coming week..
When, not if, he gets his head together on the weekend at majors he will win them again. You'd be a complete fool to think Tiger's game isn't good enough to win majors. It's in the head ONCE he is in position. His game is by far better than everybody else's. Phil played a month where his game was in that category, but Phil has always done it a month at a time, not consistently.......hope this is tigers weekend.....btw RedEye, you see Tigers son at the tourn? That's brownie points for you, right?
nothing has changed as far as I am concerned.. Tiger has been playing great for most of the year but when its major time his flaws show up.. odds still suck on him so even if you liked his chances what are you going to do ?.. Just looking at the odds, why is Day around 50/1 ? he seems to thrive recently in majors... have to make a wager with him unless for whatever reason this course doesn't suit his game...
Damn, 50/1 on Day? Pretty good for a dude that drives it as well as he does. Guy seems to get overlooked, I'm not sure what the deal is there. I figure him, Scott and Tiger have as good a shot to have a chance on Sunday as anybody
