Tiger Woods

I think when he does a major, and provided he stays injury free, he'll get close to being back to his very best - the longer he goes without the major, the harder it will become mentally - as that was always his strength, and I think that's an aspect that's not as strong as it was

Not sure he'll ever get back to that level but equally he's a lot more mature now and doesnt attempt some of the shots he did when he was younger, so it may balance things out somewhat. His short game on its day is still the best out there by far.

Mikelson is having a mare of late. McIlroy seems to have taken his eye of the ball recently as well. Thought Kaymer and Johnson in particular might have established themselves further over the last 12 months.
 
Really looking forward to seeing how Tiger does at the Masters next month. He's been in good form so far this calendar year, I hope he wins a major this year.
 
It would be a travesty if Tiger doesn't finish with more major titles than Nicklaus. In the past, in this kind of form, you can bet he would win at Augusta. I hope it is the same this time. It has been 5 years too long.
 
There should be plenty of tiger v Rory battles in the years ahead, especially in majors. I'd love to see Tiger and Rory level and head to head as the last pairing on the final day at Augusta. It would be amazing.
 
Impressive win last night, no one can finish it off like a Tiger. But somehow he doesn't look like the players he once was.
His putting was superb all week it has to be said, if he keeps that up he'll be a threat. His driving was generally good, but on a more difficult driving course I think he still might struggle. His iron play is still excellent. His short game, arguably always been his strongest part, is not so good anymore.
 
Wins, takes #1 and looks like the old Tiger. Bring on the Masters!
 
Very impressive win again. On this form he'll walk the Masters, unless a certain United supporting Irishman can get his act together that is.

Pretty good right now.

Those new Nike clubs are messing with his head. His distance control I am afraid will be under pressure should it come to a close finish. Since the change, he only places well when there is no hope of winning. Yesterday was nearly a disaster, but got on track with a firm back 9, but is now behind the leader by 9 as well.

McIlroy's so naturally gifted, more so than Woods for example, that I think McIlroy should suffer less from replacing all his clubs than most. McIlroy has decided to enter next weeks PGA event, very wise decision because I think the problem is he's missing match practice with his new clubs. But I suspect it maybe too little too late for the Masters.
Lets hope McIlroy & Woods will go toe to toe at the Masters, it'll be fantastic to watch.
I think McIlroy is the first player who can beat Woods when Woods is at his best. I think Woods realises this and is looking forward to that challenge, a challenge Woods has never really had when Woods has been at his best.
 
I know it sounds ridiculous but I find golf agonisingly boring to watch when he isn't competing. So long as he's within a few shots come Sunday I'll be glued to the screen.
