Well Tiger Woods is back. Well, he’s back for at least Thursday and we’ll see how the weekend progresses I guess. Who knows, he may be having more surgery by Friday.
The Quicken Loans National kicks off tomorrow and Tiger Woods is healed enough to play and potentially get prepped to head to Royal Liverpool in a few weeks to play his first major of the year.
So am I stupid enough to pick Tiger Woods this week at Congressional? Hell yeah I am! Here are my picks for the tournament:
Jordan Spieth
It just feels like Jordan is due for a big win. What bigger of a win to hoist the trophy from Tiger’s tournament. He better get his weekend game in shape though, that’s what has hampered him this year.
Jason Day
Another big name playing this week coming off a T-4 at Pinehurst and a final round 65 last week. Jason Day will be playing with Tiger the first two rounds so let’s see if he’s ready for the circus.
Jason Dufner
Sort of like Jordan Spieth above, I kind of feel like Jason is overdue for a win on the PGA Tour. He missed the cut at the U.S. Open and has not played very well since blowing that playoff at the Crowne Plaza. Dufner was my random pick, but I think he’s way overdue now.
Tiger Woods
Sure, call this my homer pick. Tiger Woods is back and I pick him first week back. Screw it. I have 9 picks left for Tiger the rest of the year and he may not even play 9 more events this year. Why not? He knows the course and it’s his tournament.

Betting on Tiger would be a waste of your money and sanity. Too much money and too many leisure interests have eroded his competitiveness. He may never win again.
Mike says
Do you have him winning any tourneys this year? I am hoping for at least 2.

Tiger is due for a win or two this year.
Ryan Young says
I think he’ll get at least one. I bet he’ll play late into the year.
Ryan Young says
You may be right. We’ll see. I think he’ll pick up a couple more majors but getting to the magic number of 18 or even passing with 19 will be tough.
