In the second segment of this week's abbreviated show, Holly G and Will Perry welcome The Golf Channel's Todd Lewis. Todd, Holly and Will talk about Tiger's recent press conference and their outlook for Tiger in this event and the upcoming season.
Todd mentions that he has noticed that Tiger is more revealing and honest in his answers as compared to when he was in his heyday as the most dominant player in golf. Todd mentions that Tiger said that his game was vulnerable after he tried to come back for the Safeway Open.
Will asks Todd could this be Tiger's last return. Todd said that he felt that Tiger wasn't too optimistic after last year's Hero World Challenge and felt that he might not come back.
Todd says that there have been so many players who are 45-years-old and older who are winning on the Tour.
Todd compared Tiger to the great Peyton Manning's career. Before Manning had his neck surgery he was a real gunslinger. After the surgery Manning was more of a game manager but was still able to win the Super Bowl. Todd feels that Tiger will manage his game more and be successful that way now he is in his 40s.
Holly asks Todd if Tiger's kids will provide Dad with incentive to make his comeback and win again?
Todd feels that Woods has lived his life in a fishbowl since he was 3 years old and with the extended time off after this surgery it allowed Tiger to be more of a normal person, be a dad. He knows his identity is that he is a great golfer and in the past he has had conflict between being a great golfer and having time for a normal life. Todd feels with the extended time off Tiger has a balance now in his life.
17 of the 18 players in the top 50 in the world and several in the top 10 are playing this week in the Hero World Challenge. If Tiger finishes the event 10th place or better, that would be great for him.
Holly asks Todd for his pick for this week's event. He said that Bubba and other players picked the course apart last year and the weather was nice. This year the event is forecasted to be windy so it's hard to pick a winner.
He feels that Justin Rose and Adam Scott live on the course so they know it well, but watch out for Jordan Spieth who is coming off a win at the Australian. He won the Australian in 2014 and then won the Hero World Challenge at Isleworth and went on to have an amazing year.
