That's an interesting take, and it may well be true, but it's no more than an educated guess. Everybody hits it better on the range than on the course, right? Is that "stagefright"?

Since Stevie had burn the bridge, TW needs someone like Michael Greller to baby sit him.
Not sure if Jordan Spieth will ever approve of it.

    Release

    No one should hold their breath as far as Williams reuniting with Woods. One thing Woody has done "better than most" over the years has been holding longstanding grudges, and Williams didn't just burn that bridge... he stole a page from Eastwood's "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" and dynamited the bridge to smithereens.

    As far as Greller's babysitting services... he wouldn't take the pay cut. Greller earns almost as much per year with Spieth as the average tour player earns in total who's hovering around the 120-125 mark on the season money list.

    I don't know what kind of arrangement LaCava has with Woods, but it has to be fairly lucrative and based above and beyond a percentage of Woods' earnings, considering Woods is still well outside the top-250 in the OWGR and hasn't made a weekend cut in an official event since the Masters back in 2015.

    It's not like Woods has a plethora of caddies lined up at his door wanting the opportunity these days.

      Hard to say if Woods could even hold his own on the Senior Circuit now.....

      I've discuss him with two of my doctors and based on his medical history, they just shake their heads.
      Oh, they are both good golfers....

      Opening round 77 in Dubai, sIt's tied 122nd , 12 strokes back of Sergio

      We all know golf is a demanding sport if played at the top level, Unless a player is extremely strong, any little thing could have thrown off the chance to have a low round.

      T.W. is not quite there yet, for whatever the reason ( only he would know ) he is not all there for the top level competition. He needs a complete physical ( eye sight especially ) and a little talk with Dalai Lama...........

        He looked totally lost on the greens......when he finally found them!

          darpar

          I honestly think he is just not that good of a natural green reader.
          He has memorized the greens of his fav courses (multiple winners) so well which has contributed to his successes and that's good on him.
          However, whenever he plays different courses, or courses where the speed is slower or they have been changed (like Torrey last week), he seems to crap out badly.
          Just a Spuzzervation.

              Which event will he first make the cut in 17?

              Provisional Gunga Galunga

              No kidding.

              I think he might be done for the season and might as well be done for good.

              His back might be hurting but he really lack the motivation to get out there to bring home the bacon so to speak. He has too much cushion to fall back on, it's only human nature.

              If he continue to "believe " he is still the number one player and could not face the fact that he needs to work really hard to get back up on his feet , with the humiliation of not half of what he's been. azgreg's picture of the fork is probably saying everything.

                Is Taylormade feeling stupid? Does anyone know what they paid Tiger to store their clubs in his bag and not be played? Hopefully some contingencies like "If you miss every cut or withdraw and never return you're not getting money."

                Greg nailed it with the fork...........
