As someone who is a big fan of Tiger, I take little comfort from this stat. His history from this year has been one of hitting poor shots when he needed good ones to win or put away a tournament. His play on the back nine yesterday had more loose iron shots than he had hit the previous 45 holes. Fortunately his driver has been better than usual. Hopefully Tiger can close it out but I wouldn't be surprised to see Rory or Justin chase him down.

Now, after 7 holes, Tiger is 5 ahead. Even his walk is different.

I will assume that this one is a done deal, which means the golf world will wait with an anxious feeling towards next week.

Wow congratulations Tiger! Man the crowd was insane. You'd think Justin Bieber was there.

They were certainly frayed. What was amazing to me was how the contenders acted like they were playing against the 2000 version of Tiger. None of them made a run or played remotely up to expectations. They say that Tiger has lost the intimidation factor but nobody considered that Tiger's huge fan base creates a home field advantage.

That scene on the final hole was like a movie or something else not quite real.

I teared up. That was a great moment. Someday there will be 200,000 people that will say they were there.

The doubters, the ill-wishers, the haters, ect. ect. will never give him any credit. You don't like a person for whatever reasons, so everything else he does is shit. The excuses you hear are flat-out ridiculous. "All the other players didn't try, he got lucky, whatever...whatever"... Oh wait, the crowd made him win.
Amazing in a sport where precision, technique, and endurance means everything, that people can actually be that stupid.
Personally for that reason in particular, I hope he wins the next two or three.
I'm really curious how for the ignorance stretches.

I watched the entire afternoon, glued to the tv. Every shot!!

Not since Tiznow won his second Breeders' Cup Classic have I cried such tears of joy for an athlete.

Anyone that cannot be happy for Tiger knowing his back surgerys, knowing all the personal problems, how far he fell, how hard he's worked to get back....I do not understand your bitterness..

Watching the crowd, walking with him, chanting his name was amazing.

NEVER, EVER, GIVE UP!!!

Summed up perfectly.

I recall back at the beginning of us "fall" how I rooted against him, but everyone deserves a second chance. He lost everything, fought back. and kept fighting despite continuously losing.

How difficult must it be for a former king to work his way back?

Fuss is right: Truly inspiring.

Kudos!

Congrats to Tiger on an extraordinary weekend and comeback. Regrettably, I wasn't able to watch live -- only saw it on tape -- so I missed the drama of real-time action. Had to be the sweetest victory of his career. This is greatness.

Don't count me among the doubters, ill wishers or haters. I certainly had my concerns, not about his playing ability but about his ability to elevate his focus when he is under pressure. He checked all the boxes this week. Vintage Tiger.

The crowd has a huge impact when Tiger plays. The tour line is that playing with Tiger adds 2-3 strokes to your score just from the crowd noise and movement.
