nothing would be better for the sport at this point if he were to make a mild comeback of sorts.....the general public would eat it up like flies pouncing on a big ol' pile of moo patties....

Golf - Hero World Challenge - Odds to Win
Tournament Winner
[6028] Tiger Woods +2500 12/01/2017 (08:00 AM) (Pending)
Straight 30.00 750.00
Total: 30.00
Those are pretty long odds, especially given the fact that he'd already played one good round.
I can understand why he'd be a long shot, though. He's sucked pretty badly for a while now.
The really interesting bet is whether he'll ever win another major. I think Vegas is giving 20-to-1 odds on that right now. That should be more like 100-to-1 in my opinion. There are too many good golfers out there right now for Tiger to win a major.
2 over after 3 today.....oh wellzy.....
I would take that major play if my service offered it.....he's obviously still rusty, but I think all the fallout from the 9-iron to the windshield and injuries have finally put him in a position where he now FULLY understands what it's like to be humbled.....
he's still got some "Jack" in him.....
one of my fave memories back in the day.........I was standing next to Jack's son (Steve) in a rip-roaring PACKED 19th hole at HCC pounding beers watching his '86 Masters' final 9 during a rain delay in the former Magnolia Classic......hell, my hand still hurts from all those 'drunk high fives'
watching the following is a must every April during Masters' week.....

I remember '86. My family always watched golf. Tom Watson was my grandma's favorite. I liked Craig Stadler and Fred Couples. I miss those days. (Pretty sure 90% of the board misses the 80s too, based on the stuff people post here LOL.)
Later on, my mom worked for Ron Hickman, who golfed for USM and (I think) eventually returned to Hattiesburg to be a pro somewhere. That was cool. I was around the game a lot. People like Morten Andersen, Tim Floyd, and even Aeneas Williams would play that course.
Tiger Woods is a player who seems to me to muscle the club around too much. You can get maybe an extra 20 yards on your drive that way, but when it all falls apart, it falls apart bad. Just my opinion. I'm not a "Class A Professional" or even Class I-AA.
