All right we’re officially on tiger watch this Monday as Genesis Invitational Tournament host Tiger Woods is expected to make his season debut this week he welcomed he’s welcoming rather an Elite field to Riviera Country Club for this signature event on the PGA tour what should we expect from Tiger

Good question well let’s go back to what he did last year and of course he did Tee It Up at the Masters uh he did not finish if you remember he withdrew because of his ankle issue did make the cut of the Genesis last year had ankle fusion

Surgery after the Masters came back his first tournament after that surgery the her World Challenge not an official PJ Tour event but some elite players there top or 20 I should say in the field not top 20 20 players in the field he finished 18th PNC Championship he was

Teaming up with his son Charlie finished tied for fifth all right Tiger Woods it’s always exciting when tiger makes a start um but when he makes his season debut uh we always ask the question is is is Tiger going to win is he going to get his 83rd PGA Tour Victory break the

Alltime record is he going to be you know setting the tone for what could be an incredible season for Tiger Woods what do you think we should expect from Tiger it’s next chapter whatever whatever it is he tweeted he did that about two weeks ago and it was a little

Cryptic but this is the next chapter for Tiger Woods and I’ve kind of stopped putting numbers on it it was 2.0 at one point and it it’s 3.0 I’m not even quite sure what version version we’re at right now I will say this you mentioned 83

This morning in our meeting when we were talking about this and I have to be honest with you it stunned me a little bit it’s not as though I don’t believe he can win that 83 PGA Tour title and take the record and become I would say

At that point the goat the greatest of all time we can sit and had that conversation about Jack Nicholas it’s I don’t know if he can do it based on his schedule right now you and I have had this conversation a lot Riviera is a really really tough walk it’s a really

Really hard golf course and now as a signature event it’s going to be a really really good field he’s picking the toughest venues against the toughest fields to go out and try to get get that 83rd Victory it’s going to be a good litmus test last time we saw him was at

The PNC you and I were both there in Orlando before that I think the Hero World Challenge was probably a better test of exactly what his game was like but this this brings it up a level it’s a tough walk it’s a tough golf course

Yeah I agree with you I mean if he played let’s let’s say hypothetically the Sony Open if he went to Hawaii and played what is considered the flattest golf course on the planet he’s never played the Sony by the way and he gets 83 there just think how great that would

Be I make this comparison all the time LeBron James G is the all-time leading score in the NBA when did he cross that threshold it wasn’t in a playoff game it wasn’t against the Celtics no it was against the Detroit Pistons and I say that because it doesn’t really matter

Where the venue is when you make the accomplishment you make the accomplishment so but still let’s talk about this week and what we should expect from Tiger Woods with his golf swing you and I both were at the Hero World Challenge and we saw a little

Different Tiger Woods if you look at his swing here because of that ankle and leg injury that he has it’s his right leg by the way doesn’t really have a lot of push off that leg with his swing I’m not the swing expert but I’ll play diet BR

No sh ble here but you can tell through his torso a lot of that energy is created and he is strong from his waist up very muscular right now can we just put that on a loop I I just want that on my screen saver as a as a loop because

That is a beautiful golf swing and you’re right I don’t want to put my brandle sham B had on but I I remember talking with his trainer during that practice round at the Hero World Challenge and you and I were the conversation about it seems as if he was

Using his upper body more and his trainer says it’s kind of by design that he’s sort of limited in what he can do with his lower body now if you if we started stacking swings up all the different versions that I just mentioned it’s been a lot of lower body until

Recent years and now he’s using a lot of upper body to try to generate that speed now the interesting thing is I think it’s made him more consistent especially off the te so to your point you’re right a Sony Open a Hilton Head a colonial all

Of those would be a perfect fit for him now but that’s not on in in the with cards apparently but if he contends and if he wins if he wins I mean this is a big hypothetical if he wins the Genesis at Riviera he’s never won at Riviera he

He grew up an hour away and he gets number 83 H what kind of story would that be I I I’m with you on that one and and I you and I both want don’t Debbie down to me I’m not it’s but you pointed out the obvious thing on this he’s never

Won here before he hasn’t even played particularly well he’s got a couple top 10 finishes that was back in the 90s I think his best finished since he kind of took over as the host is at tied for 15th it’s just not a place as I mentioned really really tough Golf

Course more importantly really really difficult walk you and I have tried to make our way up and down that Hill from 18 to the clubhouse it’s not easy for us and we haven’t had all those surgeries right but after that walk though once you get down from the clubhouse is not

That bad if you’re falling down theill by the way tiger is expected uh to have a big announcement today 4:00 Pacific Time 7:00 eastern time we believe it’s going to be the unveiling of his new brand of course he left Nike last year no longer with that company

What will tiger look like when he tease it up this week at Riviera I’m going to go on limb black and red on Sunday maybe we’ll go with that that’s where all right
