    I was hoping you would address Trevinos input on Tiger because it makes Cooks—and chamblees— tirelessly pessimistic lines obsolete.

    If you read between Lees lines, it sure sounds like Tiger will play the Masters; as Yours truly has been saying for many months.

    I don’t know how Tiger is going to get from shot to shot at the National, Joey may have to give Tiger some piggy back rides or drag him sometimes or something, but the way that man in red is hitting it, it’s hard not to see him give it a go 3 and a half months from now.

    Augustas big hills were always going to be the proverbial last climb in tigers recovery (at least in my eye). I never thought he had a chance to win but felt playing would be a final big step to being ready to compete. But now I’m wondering if I have been underestimating Tiger myself.

    Tigers game looks Amazing. From knee knockers to short game and wedges, to towering long irons to drives in the 170 plus ball speeds, it’s all there now. He even hit some very impressive shots off slopes, the few that were around this Florida track.

    Do I think he will win the Masters? probably not. But I’m not putting it past him.

    Do I think he will play the Masters?
    Absolutely. As Stephen A would ask: Why?! !! !

    All you have to do is stop listening to Cook and Chamblee and start listening to Trevino. As much as Mr Trvino said “your not getting nothing from me” Merry Mex can’t help himself, saying “whatever time limit you give him he will beat it”.

    The obvious time limit people are putting on tiger is that he won’t be ready to walk Augusta Nationals iconic hills. At least most people.

    I will add, having walked as much as 2 rounds a day as a spectator at Augusta National the two years we got to attend, it’s a feeling of walking on clouds. You just don’t get as tired walking around that place as you should. Things that usually hurt don’t seem to bother as much there. I believe this is the case for everyone- players, members, patrons, volunteers, security —everyone —but especially Tiger (and Lefty).

    I’m not saying tiger isn’t feeling the effects this Monday morning. I’m not saying he is ready today. Tiger does truly have a ways to go. But thanks to Mr Trevinos mouth without a cause, And more and more evidence that tiger has clearly been sand bagging us, it’s increasingly clear yours trulys Prediction that tiger will play the Masters is becoming more and More realistic.
