4. Was gone for too long

Tiger is rusty and its obvious is you just watch him play one hole. Woods hasn’t been himself on the course in many years and recently he hasn’t shown us anything special. In his last 18 starts over the past two years, Tiger has only one top 10 finish. This is the former greatest player in the world and he’s missed 7 of his last 18 cuts.

His drive is off, his short game is a mess and his putting is frustrating. Watching this rendition of Tiger Woods is depressing and it isn’t doing anything for his legacy. Many golf experts believe Tiger may win another master but his game is nowhere near championship level.

Tiger is currently ranked 178th in the world and has only played in 18 tournaments over the past two years. I need to see more than glimpses of the old Sunday redshirted Tiger before I get excited about another Tiger return. He’s missed far too much time to keep his skills sharp.
