Didn’t have a stellar year last year, but do you think he might actually win something this year? In other words, do you think he is going to make his big comeback this year?
Do you think Tiger Woods is going to win anything this year?

Tiger Woods may have had his faults and he may not be as well liked as before, but be assured he will prevail on the tour this year in at least one major, and 5 regular tour events.
When a golfer of his talent falters he has the capability to overcome and challange again. it is more a mental thing with Tiger, He has now accepted his faults in life and is ready to apply his talents and his energy to winning again.
I think he wins one major and two other events this year. He wants it more than ever and if he can get back to anything near 2000 Tiger he will be almost impossible to beat.
IMHO I believe that Tiger has done incredible things on and off the tour. I am also confident that Tiger knows how to win. Odds are always with a champion of his caliber. However, I do believe that there are many emerging golf talents on tour from all aspects of the globe. I wouldn’t hand him the trophies just yet, he will have to earn them to say the least. There is no telling what can happen during the season but one thing is for certain that his presence in a tournament is no longer going to intimidate other tour players. They may respect him as a champion but they now realize that he is human and he can falter just like everyone else on tour. My perspective is that he hasn’t been hitting the kinds of shots as he use to during his hey days, his ball striking is impressive, but again not like what it used to be. His putting strokes looks great but they are not dropping in the cup. Working with his new coach Sean Foley is a move in the right direction but I am not ready and confident in the man as I used to be. it should be an interesting year since some of the major he will be playing in are familiar courses with familiar outcome, US Open, Pebble Beach for starters.
He will if he can adapt to the new reality of his life.
When he was married and screwing around plus playing golf he had a reality setup that worked for him on the golf tour. Then he lost the wife to divorce and the sexing of women came to a stop too. When all of that goes away what is left to build on?
If Tiger can find a routine that supports his golf game and his life in positive ways then he certainly has the skill to be back on top. But does he have the mental acumen to wrap his skill around?
yes he will win at least 3 events.
Maybe 2 events…if he is fortunate. His "star and shine" is gone forever….
"No mystery or magic" anymore….He has been "un-masked" for who he is.
I saw Jack dancing in the street
Last year was a downer for Tiger mentally and physically. But this year may be a turn around for him. A champion like Tiger can’t go on being a loser. He almost won in the last tournament he was in, coming in second.
Spartawo…
yes if he actually doesn’t suck this year
I think so, he is too good a player to have another year like the last one
The odds say yes and it’s hard to bet against a player that has 10 more Major Titles then any of his current competition and more wins combined then the other 4 players in the top 5 of the world ranking…………………….
