Well, here we go, is Tiger back or will his back not let him be back? Regardless of how anyone might feel about his lifestyle, a strong and healthy Tiger would be good for the game. grrrrr...
Nice start for Tiger! And he is indeed hitting the ball a long way, keeping up with JT.
Obviously he is good for the game regardless of what anyone thinks about him personally. If he is back - really back- we will find out just how good this next generation is because they quite likely have never seen anyone play like this guy has played.
It's Masters week.
We just had an amazing weekend of golf, with Ian Poulter winning the Houston Open after a dramatic birdie putt on the 18th got him into a playoff with Beau Hossler. Poulter's win puts him in the Masters, among other good things.
The LPGA's first major of the season, the ANA Inspiration, also went to a playoff, after an incredible Sunday in which one player after another made a run at the lead with amazing shots and clutch putts. There were 3 in the playoff, which Pernilla Lindberg of Sweden won today on the 8th extra hole over Inbee Park, after Jennifer Song was eliminated yesterday.
My pick for this year's Masters is ol' Bubba himself, Bubba Watson. Bubba has won this thing twice already, and he's won twice already this year.
There are plenty of others who could win it, needless to say: Johnson, Thomas, Spieth, Woods, Mickelson, Fowler, and more.
I bet $25 on Bubba at 17 to 1 ($425) on 'Pro-line', my country's government-run on-line sports betting site. And we're legalizing marijuana soon too. What a great place to live!
I saw some of the highlights from the Swede vs. Korea.
That was pretty cool how they went back and forth and even played on an illuminated course. Competition in golf can be intense, regardless of sex.

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
