He dropped out at the 12th with a bad back. This seems to be very similar to 2014. I hope he gets healthy again some day.

I think his best bet is to rest, redo the swing and rehab until he's 50 and can be ready to go for the Champions Tour. So tired of watching Tiger in the parking lot changing his shoes rather than watching someone fighting for the lead.

Unless he learns to play golf with his current body and not ask it to do things he did in his 20's, he is done.

My thoughts as well Vince. Seems he and Phil are struggling with coming to terms with their ages and diminished abilities. If they both just played a bit low and slow I think both would have a chances at a couple more majors and many more wins.

After last weeks blow out for Tiger in Phoenix several older pros were heard to say he has the yips and it is sad to see. Too many injuries and too many swing changes I think have caused the lack of confidence and probably the chipping and putting yips. Would you have ever dreamed Tiger Woods would struggle the most with chipping and putting?

He needs to spend some time watching the old guys in the mens groups play. They are not long but the rarely miss their target.

Stick a fork in him, he's done.

If Tiger is injured as often as he says he is, he should do himself a favor and just retire. It would give the journalists a whole lot more time to cover important things.

He always seems exit after carding a Double. Since he is approaching 40 and he is starting a bad pattern here, I suggest his new nickname should be WD40. Just saying...

It was very sad to see the body of the second greatest player in golf history deteriorate to the point where a fellow competitor had to pick up his tee after each drive. Darn those glutes.

One thing that's always confused me, is when I hear instructors talking about maintaining your spine angle...because so many of the pros don't. So many of them squat and bend at the waist on the down swing. Their head is significantly lower at impact and their spine angle is lower.

Tiger is one of the worst.

Okay Jay I was really slow on the pickup on that one. That is pretty good.

He announced today that his game is not PGA worthy and he will not play until he gets things much better.

Which could be as soon as Honda Classic. As someone once said somewhere, there is more here that meets the eye.

He needs to find another method for generating power. One that doesn't break his back. Big John is 48 and avg'd over 322 on his drives today.
