There are also reports where tiger himself thought he would never play again, think about that. This is by far one of the most historic comeback stories I've ever witnessed.

There are two aspects that are a little bitter sweet though. 1.) While the last spinal fusion that gave him his renewed mobility is close to miraculous Father time is undefeated. On 9 he missed an iron shot with the ball below his feet from the fairway. The announce pointed out that its a symptom of his back still having limitations to certain forms of strain. He is still going to take on a lighter playing load this year, and he will have to be careful when and when not to push himself. 2.) The comeback aspect will be forgotten in about 48 hours and the sports world is going to turn their attention to jacks record and Beth Page Black (the PGA Championship). Its a completely unfair ask of a 43 year old golfer who is still overcoming back issues facing the deepest field of golfers in our lifetimes (Koepka Speith Jonshon Reed Macilroy) but its the nature of sports.
