I'm not one to get worked up about Tiger's appearance or how he's flushing it on a driving range and what that means for a possible return to golf. But at first glance I thought this clip was from 6-8 years ago. He looks good, which is great to see.

Tiger Woods says he's "feeling better" and has been training quite a bit. "I will be at Hero [World Challenge]. I'm there either way, so I'll see you there!" Could we see Tiger on the course at the Hero in less than a month?

How much did LIV Golf change sponsorships in the sport? Most PGA Tour title sponsorships could be had for around $12-15M annually before 2022. Championship Series events now are in the $30-35M range.
