Tiger Woods once again stares at the unknown. He probably knows more about the unknown than any other golfer.
But this time, it is not about the career that has been threatened by a dodgy knee or the troublesome back that had once made waking up from the bed tough. Nor is it about a personal crisis that took a heavy toll. This time it is about the territory beyond 82 PGA Tour wins.
Now that he has joined Sam Snead at one peak, he has one more to take care of — 18. He is three away from Jack Nicklaus’ 18 Majors, the most won by any golfer in history.
Meanwhile, Woods, the Captain for the US team for the President’s Cup, will have an easier time picking Woods, the player. We will know all that by the end of this week. But before that we get to see him in action once more at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.
Bogey-Bogey-Bogey is no way to start a tournament, let alone win it, as he did at the Zozo Championship. Clawing back from that abyss, he took a share of the first round lead holing nine birdies in the last 14 holes for a 64.
Then nature’s fury washed away play on Friday. So bad was it that the PGA decided to keep spectators and ticket holders off the course for Saturday following Friday’s downpour that brought in six inches of rain and played havoc with life around Chiba, Tokyo, and elsewhere. With spectators off the course on Saturday, it was like a silent movie, which needed someone to superimpose applause on it.
