Tiger Turning Heads on Driving Range
March 12th, 2010 by PGA Golf Art
Tiger Woods is back practicing at the Isleworth Country Club driving range, and some fellow PGA Tour pros are taking notice. So far, Charles Howell III and J.B. Holmes have both shared the range with Woods, and both came away impressed.
Howell told CBSSports.com that he spent an hour with Woods, including watching Tiger hit balls. Did Woods look rusty? No:
“… (H)e looked as good as he ever has,” Howell said. “Seriously, he seemed like he was hitting it the same as he ever did.”
Holmes watched Woods from the other end of the Isleworth range, and told Golfweek:
“I watched him hit about five or six drivers, and it looked like they all ended up in a 10-yard area. I said to myself, ‘It looks like he’s hitting it pretty good.’ “
The Masters is one month away. Between then and now, there are two PGA Tour events that Woods plays, the WGC CA Championship next week and the Arnold Palmer Invitational March 25-28. There’s also the Tavistock Cup March 22-23, an event that has been the subject of speculation as a potential return target for Tiger.
Meanwhile, Jack Nicklaus said of Woods’ possible return, “I can’t imagine in 100 years he’s going to miss Augusta.”
What do you think?
