The Greatest American Sportsman spanning half a century ................tees off at Riviera on Thursday........


Tiger to make the cut:

yes- +162
no - -220


the bookies dont like his chances at even making the cut let alone winning at a venue he's never won at


Jon Rahm top 10 finishes over his last 9 tournaments? 9-9 .........when does this streak end?

he's +100 to finish in the top 10..........

Rory is 8- for 9 , he's +130 for a top 10 finish

So what…still one of the top two golfers the World will ever witness…
I was following up on hache man's post saying people will be wasting their money betting on him. That he won't win anything again so agreeing with his point.

I win would be great but he might find it difficult given that this is his first tournament in a while.

“I’m excited to go out there and compete and play with these guys,” said the 15-times major winner. “I would not have put myself out here if I didn’t think I could beat these guys and win the event. That’s my mentality. If I wasn’t ready to win at this level … I am very rusty, but I’ve come off a rusty situation before and have done well.
“I know this golf course. I know I haven’t had a lot of success on this golf course, but I knew what to practise for.”

when's the last time Tiger was + money to make a cut? as a toddler?

Tiger always give you that “I would not enter if I did not think I could win” line….. I mean surely there will be a time and talent factor down the road when he must admit “I’m playing this week but I know I cant win at this level anymore” ??‍♂️?

Tiger Woods played and walked 16 holes in the Genesis Invitational Pro-Am Wednesday morning in his first public round of golf since missing the cut at last year's Open Championship in St. Andrews.
Woods, who will play with Justin Thomas and Rory McIlroy in the first two rounds of the tournament starting Thursday, arrived at Riviera Country Club Wednesday before sunrise and practiced at the range with lights before his 6:30 a.m. tee time. At the time Woods teed off, the sun was just peeking out over the horizon and the temperature was in the low 40s. It remained there throughout the front nine holes while the wind picked up significantly. Woods, wearing what appeared to be several layers, looked cold but comfortable swinging.

"I am very rusty, but I've come off a rusty situation before and I've done well," Woods said Tuesday. "Plus, I know this golf course. I know I haven't had a lot of success on this golf course, but I knew what to practice for, shots to hit at home getting ready."
During the first part of his round Wednesday, Woods' gait looked more normal than it has in the past, with no noticeable limp, though he did appear to take his time and care walking up and down steep slopes. By the back nine, he did look to be walking more gingerly, avoiding putting too much weight on his ankle. After picking up his ball on the 16th hole, Woods did not play the rest of the way and took his time walking back up the clubhouse. He did not take a cart.
As the 16-time major winner said Tuesday, hitting shots is not an issue for him, but walking, and specifically his right ankle, are what have affected him the most. Though Woods said his leg and the plantar fasciitis are doing better, the task of potentially walking 72 holes over the course of four days remains daunting, but not daunting enough that he believes he shouldn't be out here with a chance to win.
"I would not have put myself out here if I didn't think I could beat these guys and win the event," Woods said Tuesday. "That's my mentality."
Woods also spent extra time on the greens Wednesday -- which at Riviera tend to be some of the smallest and toughest on the PGA Tour -- practicing extra putts from different positions. The wind was so strong at one point that Woods hit a driver and 3-wood on the par-4 ninth hole. He laughed as his approach shot came up short in a greenside bunker.
It has been almost two years since Woods was seriously injured in a car accident near the site of this week's tournament, which Woods hosts. He then underwent multiple surgeries on his right leg and foot; at one point, Woods said surgeons nearly had to amputate his right leg. Since then, Woods has only played in majors until now.
"I know I'm not going to be playing a full schedule and I've got to pick and choose what I'm going to be playing in and it will be very limited," Woods said Tuesday. "So I'll put all my energy into those events."
