Woods to play in next week’s Wyndham Championship in Greensboro

Wild, and exciting. Like Phil Mickelson. They’ll have plenty of time to get ready.

NFL preseason, Denver Broncos at Seattle Seahawks (7 p.m., ABC (13), NFLN (317)): Peyton Manning will sit out the preseason opener, letting backup quarterback Brock Osweiler take most of the snaps against the team that had the NFL’s No. 1 defense last season.

Woods entered the Wyndham Championship next week. It doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll play. While he was pleased with his ball-striking both days, he struggled with his putter on his way to recording four bogeys against one birdie on Thursday and three birdies against four bogeys on Friday.

The four time PGA champion had seemed confident in his game earlier in the week, and discussed his progress with improving his overall game.

Official World Golf Ranking, is 186th in the FedEx Cup points standings and now needs 279 points to move into the top 125 in order to qualify. “So the season, it is what it is, but I still have a lot of golf left”. He also sounded like someone whose 2015 season might, indeed, be over.

Jason Day, one of the most consistent performers in recent major tournaments, was on nine under after 14 holes along with fellow Australian Matt Jones, who completed 12.

The final groups are wrapping up the second round. It was not. On any given shot, Tiger Woods can still look like Tiger Woods.

As you might guess, in the commentary that accompanied the video and the comments left by readers below, people were emotionally (and somewhat venomously), reacting to the abbreviated clip, lambasting Tiger for what they perceived as rudeness…and that’s not fair to Woods. The cut is expected to be at two-over.

Woods, whose early exits at the US and British Opens marked the first time he missed two straight major championship cuts, will have work to do on Friday to make it to the weekend at Whistling Straits.

That has never happened before. But given how things have played out for him recently, perhaps an extended hiatus to try working on his swing and get some confidence back will do him good. Shortly after they’re done, the third round will begin.

It will be interesting to see how much longer Tiger Woods remains among the highest-paid athletes if he keeps stinking up the fairways. Adam Rainaud, a South Hadley native, was 4 over through 11 holes. Then Woods killed a popular story line by committing to play in the Wyndham Championship next week. On the final day, instead of building on his two-shot lead, he shot a 75 to finish second, three strokes behind the victorious Y.E. Yang. When he arrived at Whistling Straits, he had a short turnaround. “It’s a good idea to come back in the morning”.

Day made a birdie on the par-5 16th hole to get to 10 under par.
