Tiger Woods confirms plans to play Wyndham Championship

What’s he going to do?

Rory McIlroy sits on -2 while Shane Lowry and Padraig Harrington both missed the cut by one stroke on three over. Woods said adjusting to a course he hasn’t played before – there are few on Tour that are new to him – has been a fun challenge.

“If I don’t win this event”, Woods said, “I’ll have my offseason early“. So far, the reviews have been solid for the modern-looking upscale sports bar, including rave reviews for the Nutella s’mores desserts and the fresh fruit garnishes in the cocktails. Woods would need to finish alone in second place – which awards 300 points – to have any shot of making it into the playoff.

“He still draws the crowd and I think that’s just a testament to his career and what he’s been able to do”, 2012 U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson said of the 14-times major victor.

This would rank as one of the best fields in the 76-year history of the tournament even if Woods hadnt made his last-minute decision to play Sedgefield.

“Each round I seem to hit more good shots and if I’m patient enough it will come back”.

He also served as a marker during the second round of the 2004 PGA at Whistling Straits, when two players from the same threesome withdrew.

The father-of-two revealed that active parenting had helped him return to fitness after the misery of surgery a year ago which left him immobilized.

Although he didn’t rule out a start in the US PGA Tour’s Wyndham Cup, he sounded Saturday as if he was already turning his attention overseas.

Jones, whose lone win on the PGA Tour came in the 2014 Shell Houston Open, has never finished better than a tie for 30th in a major. He needed 20 putts to get through the first 13 greens – a better rate than Thursday, when he putted a total of 33 times and was asking, to no one in particular, “How bad am I putting?” with an expletive thrown in there, too. “The only way you can do that is by playing, and I have a lot of golf to be played around the world“.

At 187th in FedEx Cup points according to Las Vegas bookmakers, the odds of Tiger ending his two-year winless drought and climbing within the top 125 eligible for the playoffs are extremely long, at 50-1.

Woods hit the course around 7AM for Wednesday’s Pro-Am, along with Los Angeles Clippers player and Wake Forest Alum Chris Paul.

“These kids are sort of the vanguard, if you like, that grew up with Tiger Woods setting the bar”, CBS’ David Feherty said on Friday. “To be able to do those type of things…that to me is what life’s all about”. Woods’ dominance and the passion he displayed on the biggest stages were instrumental in golf’s growth since the mid-1990s, and Spieth has the opportunity to make a similar impact for the next 15 years.

The early exit at a championship he has won four times was just the latest disappointment in a miserable season for the 39-year-old superstar.
