Roundup: Tiger's Ready To Go And...Just Beginning

At least, that was my Golfweek takeaway after he kept a lot of rational perspective regarding his 2018 return to the PGA Tour, but he also never suggested he's lacking confidence. It was an ideal blend of humility, confidence and reality for someone who has been through multiple surgeries. Or maybe he was just really happy that he'll probably never play an 18-hole pro-am round anytime soon.

I'm pleased to see the San Diego Union-Tribune's Tod Leonard came away with a similar take on Tiger's big picture approach to this week.

Kevin Casey with the five most interesting quotes from Tiger's press conference.

Mamy of today's young players are just as curious how the latest comeback plays out and even welcome a chance to compete against Woods. At least, until he starts beating them again. Ryan Lavner with comments from many for GolfChannel.com.

Rex Hoggard reminds us why most have a lot invested in just one more great Tiger run, reminding us of that amazing week at Torrey Pines in June, 2008.

Here's how to watch via Golf Channel, CBS or to follow along on social media. Woods tees off with Patrick Reed and Jon Rahm Thursday at 10:40 PT off #1 tee South. The weather is expected to be cooler but pleasant, with afternoon winds. The field is excellent, loaded with some intriguing new names, some emerging stars and even superstars. But no offense to them, Tiger remains the most compelling story Thursday.

Tiger Woods and "interesting quotes" don't belong in the same sentence.

Brutal to be paired with Rahm who could humiliate him.
