The PGA is on this week and while I'm looking forward to watching Spieth and even Dustin Johnson, but I feel like there is little chance we will see Tiger on the weekend. Golf like most things is changing:)
You know, I remember when he was reaching his prime, with all of those fantastic swings, long shots and other power shots.
One of the commentators ( an old Pro, I can't remember his name) stated that with Tiger's swing which included such a radical swivel at the waist, he was going to have a lot of back-related problems within ten years.
He went on to say that no one's body could take the punishment Tiger was putting on himself without having to change his whole swing approach at some point.
And, here we are, watching a legend going through reinventing his swing.
The shame is, the public now wants to see those "miracle shots" that Tiger was so famous for. No, they EXPECT to see those shots, and so does the rest of the Golf Industry.
Hopefully, somewhere out there, another kid with his own repertoire of "miracle shots" is practicing his game.

I felt like this weekend's US Open I was watching a renewed game where there is intrigue and interest without Tiger.One young talented and seemingly nice guy that plays at the highest level is very refreshing. Looking forward to seeing Rory play next.

Is Tiger Woods return to the game of golf that significant?I think so. I will be the first to admit that I am a casual golf fan. It only becomes a must watch when Tiger is in the hunt. My wife who is worst than me only knows one name. It is like when Michael was playing, she see only watched...

Tiger has announced he will return to golf at the Masters and to be honest I don't want him to win. I would prefer a Mickelson victory...although if he's in contention it will be exciting!
