When he is hitting it that well and putting halfway decent, he's tough to beat.

Hard to believe that he will dominate again like he once did, but I have seen enough to not put it past him. I'm glad he won today and I'm glad he won in the fashion that he did. Golf needs Tiger playing well.
He's actually still pretty young...you've had several recent examples of golfers playing their best golf after turning 40...Stricker, Singh, Kenny Perry, O'Meara all come to mind. Though don't know if any of them had the physical issues in their 30s Tiger did. He's one weird dude, you almost get the feeling his downfall was orchestrated by he himself...just to do it and come back from it. I know it's not true, but I almost can make myself believe it.

It's funny you say this because I can almost see it too lol. Of course, it's crazy but it's not totally inconceivable. I'm reminded of the time years ago when Larry Bird and the Celtics had went on a run and were just killing teams and Bird got bored and decided to shoot left-handed all game against Portland. Just because he was bored.

Don't have the same view of Tiger, but watching him when he is on is still alot of fun. Ridiculous finish with birdies on 15 16 and 18 to pull out the Memorial. The flop shot hole out on 16 was all-world.

Just got off the golf course myself and caught some of the highlights. All world is putting it mildly. That shot was f*cking impossible.

Had his impossible chip shot rolled in "center-cut" instead of "right-lip" I might agree, but he looks washed up to me..............
