He's #51 after today apparently, just missing the cut for the WGC event in a few weeks. For Tiger, his ranking really only matters for those and the US Open (which I believe he now does not have eligibility for anymore). If he stays healthy, though, it's only a matter of time. [Reply]

Dude has ice in his veins. Great competitor. I think he will end up being the next superstar of golf. And winning 2 big majors this year that only 5 have done in the history of golf is definitely a good start. [Reply]

When he tapped in his final putt instead of marking...he seems to only care about winning and that's about it. [Reply]

While he's great and all, and I think he's already a superstar for the wins, I think it will interesting to see how long he can keep it up. His body type (very muscular) means he can put a lot more strain on the joints and tendons, let's hope, for his own sake, that he keep it all under control and doesn't hurt himself. It's a long season, let's hope he plays within his body's limits. [Reply]
Being there two days, it's obv how much he carries the sport. I love golf and watch it religiously but casual fans don't and his presence this week made the tourney. All the players know it. The game has always yielded to a new personality but it hasn't since he faded. DJ, Koepka, Rory, Spieth, Thomas - no personalities, no intrigue.
He was the energy of that entire place. I'd hear monster roars from across the course and every time, you could tell it was him if it was louder than shit. [Reply]

Don't have to have a personality IF you win on a regular basis like Tiger did at one point in his career. And it helped immensely that he was the first black golfer who dominated and did this for a time alleviating some of the subconscious "white guilt" in a white world dominated sport that was severely bigoted not so long ago and why everybody roots for Tiger still.
