This last sunday Tiger ended the 2 year winless drought at the Chevron Challenge in Thousand Oaks, California. We finally saw the old Tiger in the all too familiar old fashion win. Tiger was one back of Zach Johnson with two to play and just like we would've expected 2 years ago, he poured in a birdie on the 17th. He then proceeded to bury a 6 footer on 18 for the birdie and the win. As the world watched him drain the putt on 18 the goose bumps had to get to everyone as he did that fist pump we have been patiently waiting to see for 2 long years. When asked how he felt he said "It feels awesome whatever it is".
Does this win put Tiger back in the hearts of fans everywhere? Is he back for good? I think this is exactly what Tiger needed . This was the confidence boost he needed. This win got him back to that feeling of being in contention and also got the belief back from the fans that Tiger can still do it.
The big question is that is he going to win some big tournaments now? Yes the Chevron was big with it being over a $2,000,000 paycheck to the winner, but there were only 17 player in the field. This is a stepping stone in the right direction but will we see some majors that will go toward Jacks record next?

ReplyDeleteIt's great to see Tiger finally winning again. When he's on the top of his game it's good for the whole sport of golf. I don't think this win put him back in the fans hearts. It's still too early to tell if he's back for good also. I think in order to prove he's back he will have to win a major. I believe the fans will once again be in love with Tiger once he wins a big one too. I'm rooting for Tiger and want to see how he does in the next tournament.
