Whatever we may think of his character, he sure can play when he's on, and he's on today:

Tiger, Tiger, burning bright

5 shot lead, final round, he's got one birdie already when everyone else is seeing bogies in those holes... ...not saying inevitable, he could still blow up, but a charge to catch him seems unlikely if he doesn't. I just hope he doesn't play it
"too safe"... ...in any case, I'd say it sure looks like he's back, at least for this weekend...
Indeed!
I hope it lasts. I miss Tiger being the best.

It’s all about the ratings. Tiger playing/winning pulls in TV viewers more than Tony, Rory, Jordan, and all the others.
And folks may not like him for other reasons, but how is that really any different than other sports celebs?

- I never actually learned to play very well
Tiger is great for attracting viewers, whether he wins or loses. If he’s playing and he’s competitive, everyone wins.
What's his name that pocketed the 10 million Fedex prize didn't seem to mind so much.

And he got it on one putt on the final hole. That's one heck of a putt!
I don't think what's his name minds. he won the season.
No matter what you say about Tiger, he's literally the best to ever play. What with modern clubs and a huge amount of new young golfers taking up the sport. Its not like in the old days when there where 2-3 top guys.
Hat's off to him.
I hope he wins the Master's next year.

It would be a mistake to put him in the Ryder imo. Two QBs = no QB's as the saying goes. I'd rather see a good, cohesive team with a clear captain. They've done the all alpha dog teams before with 1 cup to show for them.
3 more wins, and Tiger has the most ever on the PGA Tour. I know the majors mean more, but most wins ever is still pretty significant, especially after a 5-year drought.
