Ever since he made a mockery of Augusta National in 1997, the golf world has been well aware of just what this man is capable of doing. That being said, a lot has changed for Woods since 1997, with the most dramatic changes having come over the past seven months. Woods’...

Yesterday was set up perfect for Tiger Woods. Phil Mickelson, one of his main competitors, had a terrible round. Commentators and fans were on his side. He was playing at one of his favorite courses.
