Tiger...Or Is It Bigfoot Spotted At Chambers Bay?

/

First there was a jet sighting, then several blurry photos, and then a long distance shot of something resembling a standing, two-legged being inhabiting a Chambers Bay fairway. Further analysis determined it to be of human origin and most definitely Tiger Woods scouting the 2015 U.S. Open host site. Phil Mickelson was also spotted sneaking in some golf but got a much better weather day.

Safe to say you can add Tiger to the list who have made the cross-country trek to the remote lands of University Place. And mercifully, we've gotten the two biggest scouting trips out of the way.

Tiger's Bluejack Has An Augusta National Flair

Tiger took to Instagram to post a few teaser photos of his Bluejack National redo and unlike his Cabo project, appears to be holding back on closers images until it's completely grown in.

But even in these shots, it's appears he was going for an Augusta vibe aesthetically.

“Tiger Woods Returns to Asia to Energize Young Athletes’ Love for Golf” (And Launch A New Design)

Nike has announced (as expected) that Tiger will be making one of his goodwill tours of Asia replete with clinics (oh not the short game right now, please...) and no doubt to show the Swoosh to prospective customers.

And in the it's-a-mitzvah department, the April 24-25 trip will be preceded by Woods appearing in Beijing to confirm a lucrative course design gig in the land where golf is stalling, if not banned or illegal to build a course.

What a world!

"Really? Wow. O.K."

Forgive me for being late with this one, but I was out at the interview area Masters Sunday and did not hear Bill Macatee's epic reaction to Tiger Woods suggesting he'd popped a bone back in place, nor had I heard the Faldo-Nantz reaction where you can almost feel them looking at each other incredulously.



Matthew Schwerha talked to Dr. Benjamin Davis, an orthopedic surgeon in Chicago who says it's possible.

“In football, it’s not uncommon to have hand injuries that are put back into place, and the player will return to the game,” Davis said. “In 2008, Tiger finished and won the U.S. open with a torn ligament and a stress fracture in his knee. Tiger has a proven record of physical toughness and he is a tremendous competitor. I wouldn’t put anything past him.”
