Tiger is back!

[Shawker]

When was the last time he had back-to-back good rounds? It has to have been over two years. It seems like anytime in the recent past that he would have one good round his next round would be a disaster or he would withdraw due to injury. Hopefully he can maintain this play over the weekend as well.

In his 1st round back in a "real" tournament he shot Even Par. Currently tied for 84th.

Didn't give himself many good looks at birdies today.

Pretty good, all things considered, for Tiger. Even without being relevant in damn near 4 years, he's still a huge draw. I love me some Tiger, and hope he can get it back and at least compete at the big ones.

Birdied 36 to make the cut so on to Saturday.

Sounds like his driver has been a Big issue but it’s all about making the cut and competitive rounds.

I feel like he hit one fairway, and that fairway he hit he hated the way he hit it. Pulled a matsuyama.

Wow, nice pace of play out there. Tiger just waited 23 minutes to tee off on a par three.

And windy out there.

And, ah, dose golf fan idiots. Some guy close by screamed IN THE HOLE as Woods was backstroking on a short put. Was a bad miss. Can't believe these ******** don't get ID'd and booted.

Currently -5 (T-16th) with the Santa Ana winds really picking up! -7 most likely gets a top 10 finish. Two par 5's remaining on his final 9..

It's great to have Tiger back in golf!

If he would’ve had a consistent driver at all this week, he would be contending for the win IMO

Easily 3 to 4 strokes better if he hits even 50% of the fairways

Pretty good tournament considering he was 17/56 on fairways 30.3%. That should be pretty easy to clean up. I expect some top 10's out of him but I don't know if he will break through. Great for the game when he is playing though.

No, it won't.

No, it won't.

It's super easy, you just hit it in the short stuff instead of the long stuff.

He’s gonna win the Masters by 5.

Tiger is a lot like an old politician. Just keeps showing up to take all the news coverage from the next generation.

In the past maybe, but there were real signs of old Tiger this weekend. His putting was fantastic. I can't wait to see him at Riviera.

Read an article in Golf Digest where several swing coaches (including Haney) were pretty impressed with Tiger's new swing, most notably how accurately he was hitting the fairway with the driver, and with some decent distance. So maybe this tournament was more of a fluke compared to what others have seen over the past few months. Time will tell I guess.

This is about the worst place on tour to drive it poorly as well. It will average about 10% less fairways hit and there's no way to get out of it because the course is long.

He's not back yet but a Top 25 on that course, this early is a good sign.

I'll take what he's having
