He has the same look he had at the Masters. I got a good feeling about this!

[@rasmushenzler1020]

he's got always that same look on his face mate

[@twilithycurves]

Had the same look for about 12 holes😂 #britishopenbaby

[@redscorpion3]

Thank you, Tiger. You’re the reason why i picked a club for the first time many years ago. May you be blessed with many more healthy and lucky years! cheers!!👍

[@derek0452]

Great! Now what can do with the club

[@redscorpion3]

derek452 i invite you to play with me here in orange county california. We’ll see.

[@derek0452]

Shots fired. Can you break 90, if no invitation accepted.

[@mphommopi3728]

[@leesale5083]

Good for you buddy ......hope your game is coming on strong. ... He's inspired millions of people throughout the world and an absolute legend for all eternity. ...wheather your a fan of his or not we owe this man so much for what he's done definitely doesn't at times get the recognition he so deserves .... If his driving is straight and consistent he will be there on Sunday 100%

[@wesleyhilde1]

He definitely got all his confidence back! It's on now..

[@euripides911]

Tiger - Golf intelligence personified!

[@user-eg4ym7gl4y]

Well said! He sees the subtleties the other golfers don't.

[@leroyrodgers6089]

Tiger said one thing that would make me bet on him, he said if the course dries out everyone will be playing from the same spot and iron play would be a premium. Tiger is the greatest iron player in history and by far better than anyone in the field. I think he will contend for sure.

[@gothic8]

Tiger...Thanks for your comments and condolences for Kevin Durant! THAT WAS A CLASS ACT!!

[@Damonbird775]

If he putts well, he will win. The greens are tiny and approach shots from 150-175 will be crucial. Tiger is one of the best at that distance. I like Phil as a longshot because of his short game.

Honestly, ever since shooting 65 (nearly 63) in the final round of memorial, Im pretty confident about his chances. Hopefully, he brings that momentum to Pebble Beach

[@Dmgolfer22]

Jack Rodriguez he’s gonna peak this week.

[@tigerbalm666]

I still consider Tiger as old school player as he started playing with "old school" clubs and all the best players today had the advantage of driver size, shaft technology, longer balls, better shoes and clothes, perfect greens, etc. Courses cannot keep up with technologies...it's just an easier game today.

[@brandonlerman1540]

nahh when your on you want old tech. why do think TW still plays old tech. its much more accurate and precise. I still play mp29 irons starting using them in 1999 have had more than 5-6 sets and tried all the latest irons over the last 20 years. especially this week as iron play and putting will be a major factor and not 350 yard drives and 180 pw. Depends on course as well.

[@taunokekkonen5733]

Better clothes?

[@danieltaormina1472]

Brandon Lerman he does not play old tech.

[@johnnybgood7442]

The long game is easier today, but he short game is harder.

[@MichaelLesesne]

My prediction: Tiger will be in the final group on Sunday with Rory Macilroy and win the US Open by 2 shots at 11 under par. Mark it. 👍

[@garethb1961]

He's great. He actually says a lot more than he did in his hey day. He lets us in a lot, into the inner workings of his mind and game. I actually find him interesting to hear, and you couldn't say that of young Tiger, with his dull, rehearsed patter.

[@scottburbridge8378]

He is 1st on tour with his iron play so if he keeps that up he will have a very good chance

[@Charles13033]

Hes 1st in greens in regulation but hes 72nd in putting so if he doesent putt well none of the iron stats matter, bc at the us open your not gonna have a lot of ten footers for birds

[@leesale5083]

He's always been a great iron player and normally a very consistent clutch putter it's all on his driving now FACT if he hits the fairways he's always in contention

[@JohnMcCagueSells]

Great golfer...great competitor...but man did he suck at some of his personal choices which is too bad because i had been a fan up until then. I understand he has been awesome for the sport of golf....made some others very wealthy...created alot of jobs, etc. I find him pretty arrogant but i guess that comes with the territory....i just prefer my sports stars a bit more humble. Just amy opinion and I am sure most will disagree.

[@Theoneandonly88able]

He is a child prodigy since he was 2. Being arrogant isn't unusual for a person who has become successful from such a young age. In addition, people have high expectations to win each time he sets foot on the course. His pretencious attitude has faded as one might figure with age. I could name many athletes who started out extremely young across all sports, but how the person is nurtured is as a child is more important. Some parents only want to cash in on their childs talents rather than adhere to the childs wishes. Parenting is the huge component in any childs life which determine how they will grow up and present themselves.

[@granvillewalkerjr4321]

John, whether our view is in a minority or not I wouldn't be so sure. I wholeheartedly agree with you and here are sound examples why. NFL HOF back Barry Sanders, NBA superstar Tim Duncan and three-time Olympian Edwin Moses all exemplify sports greatness combined with humility and record-breaking performances, unparalleled achievement plus incredible talent on display during crucial competitive moments. As for Woods' bad personal choices, while I don't support or condone his conduct, you have to admit, as acts of moral turpitude go, there are more heinous instances on record by pro athletes. Think of former Panthers WR Rae Carruth for attempted murder; one-time Patriots' TE Aaron Hernandez for first-degree murder; or the now-deceased Canadian heavyweight boxer Trevor Berbick for sexual assault.

[@douglasenzor48]
