After a year-and-a-half wait, the old Tiger Woods has finally resurfaced. Since the fallout in November of 2009, Tiger has played horribly but with flashes of brilliance. In Round 2 of the Masters he displayed consistent brilliance.

August National is a place of comfort for Tiger. He won his first major there. It is why he chose to make his initial return to golf there last year, and it is where he will win his 15th major.

But this past week, in an interview with Tom Rinaldi, Tiger was asked who the best golfer in the world was, he answered rhetorically, "Hmm when I get my swing dialed in?" The answer was obvious and Woods backed his words on Friday.

Second most important component, because confidence is the basis, is skill. Tiger has always had the skill but it was lost. It appears that he has not only found his swing as he displayed through his iron play, but he also dialed in his putter, needing only 26 puts in the second round.

Rory McIlroy is playing beautiful golf, as is Jason Day, but this weekend both will feel the power that is Tiger Woods on Masters weekend. The two youngsters will have to show tremendous resolve in order to hold off a very ...
