Woods’ Thursday-Friday playing partners haven’t played well in his last two starts. Brandt Snedeker and Patton Kizzire both missed the cut at the Honda Classic and Jordan Spieth and Henrik Stenson also failed to make the weekend at last week’s Valspar Championship.
Tiger Woods didn’t quite “one-up” Phil Mickelson by winning the Valspar Championship like his longtime lefty rival suggested earlier in the week. But perhaps, this is all part of an even cooler script that is unfolding.
Tiger Woods has played his share of big rounds en route to winning 79 times on the US PGA Tour and collecting 14 Major championships. Sunday’s at the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook will be his biggest in years.
The bad news? Golf fans finally saw a slight wince from Tiger Woods on the 16th hole during the opening round of the Valspar Championship. The good news? It had nothing to do with his back.
Last Friday’s deadline to commit to the Valspar Championship focused on Tiger Woods, but Bill Haas will be another golfer fans are paying close attention to at this week’s event.
