It was 466 days ago that Tiger Woods hit his last shot in competition golf.
Tiger was looking good in last weekends Hero World Challenge.
He shot a faultless 65 on day two with four birdies over the first five holes, that got him within two of the lead on Saturday.
He came into the clubhouse Sunday at 4 under par, 14 strokes behind the leader, but that is not a true measure of how he played this last weekend.
He lead the field in birdies with 24 birdies for the weekend. He never really got into trouble, there were some bad shots but Tiger never let them shots get him worked up (as per the old Tiger we knew), but he did fade in the final round.
His all around game was good.
His weakness last time he played competitively, was his chipping, it was really a disaster actually.
BUT we saw a new Tiger last weekend in that department , and really in all his game
Seems the old Tiger and his power drive has been tamed a bit and his swing seems more precise and fluent.
Missed some fairways, but was using new driver and a new 3 wood , so kinda can be excused
The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook listed Woods the age of 41, at odds of 20/1 to win, which means the World No. 650 ranking player has better odds than the World No. 4 player
