So is Tiger off his game this year or will he recover his golf swing in time for the US Open, the British Open, and the PGA? Let’s talk a little golf and about what happened at the Masters and what we think the rest of 2007 holds in store for Mr. Woods.

Well everyone has an opinion, including The Golf Nut, and here’s mine. Did Tiger Woods struggle with his golf game at this year’s Masters? Absolutely! But I think Tiger just hit a very tough Augusta National setup this year. And it hit a lot of the big names as well. I mean look at Phil, Stuart Appleby, Justin Rose, Tim Clark, and all the other golfers who had a shot to win or have won this golf tournament in the past. I don’t think there is a slump or any big problem with Tiger or his golf swing.

I actually think that this year’s Masters bodes well for Tiger in 2007. No, I haven’t lost my mind (yet). Look at Tiger over the years as a professional golfer. In past years, he might have blown up and taken himself out of the tournament when he struggled like this. But I think it shows not only the level of his golf game, but the level of his maturity that he almost won his fifth green jacket.

And I think that he will end up winning at least two of the remaining three majors this year, if not all three. I believe that his focus is there and that marriage will give him a level of “settledness” (I don’t know if that’s a word, but it’s what I mean) to help him go after 3 more majors on his quest to beat Nicklaus long standing record.

So as crazy as it sounds, I think that Tiger’s finish at Augusta is a heads up to the rest of the PGA field. And again, bear this in mind. I have never been a huge fan of Tiger. I have nothing against him, I just have always followed other golfers closer. But I just have to respect what the guy has done and continues to do.
