Tiger Woods' return to competition means one thing: the return of GCTigerTracker. GolfChannel.com senior writer Rex Hoggard caught up with the man of mystery to discuss Tracker's expecations of His Man this week and beyond - as well as what Tracker does when he's not tracking.Hoggard: OK, TT, glad to see youre back at work. Now, youve had a chance to see Tiger for a couple of days, what are your expectations for him this week?Tracker: First of all, Rexy, lets acknowledge that you guys are letting me play inside the writing sandbox for this little article. Secondly, my expectations for him are the same that they are for me to walk 72 holes pain free. Its been awhile since either of us have done this. Your expectations of him are higher than that?Hoggard: Yes, actually. There has been a lot of chatter about how far hes hitting the ball. Combine that with dramatically improved health, Im not sure Ill be overly excited with a T-17, but anything inside the top 10 should be in his wheelhouse.Tracker: Id take that right now and move onto well, where ever he plays next. This whole thing is difficult for me. I have no expectations, he doesnt seem to have high expectations. But when we hear how long hes hitting it Tuesday we saw how long he was hitting it and, well, we have higher expectations. Top-10 would be tremendous. Just tremendous. To beat eight world-class dudes in this field would be huge. From watching him the past couple days what do you think hell do well, and what do you think he will not do well?
Follow Tiger Woods at the Hero with Tiger Tracker
Hoggard: Youre not too bad at this scribe gig. Ever think of moonlighting as a writer? Driving looks like it will be his strength (believe it or not). Short game may be an issue. He went straight to the short-game area after his practice round, which is an indication hes not entirely comfortable on that front. Lets get real for a moment, who wins the Round 1 two-ball TW or JT?Tracker: Lower myself to the level of a scribe? Never. I just dont know how you can go against JT in this case. Hes so fired up to play with Tiger, who asked him about the pairing a couple weeks ago. JT said he wants to kick his a** and I believe him. I respect Tiger for jumping back into the mix and opting to play with JT. He couldve picked someone lower profile, but he went with the dude who smoked everyone all year (#respect). From asking that question, you actually think TW has a chance against JT?Hoggard: After watching JT drive the ball for nine holes today, I dont think it would be impossible, but Tiger needs a lot of things to go right. On another note, what do you do when youre not tracking?Tracker: Ha ... you dont really want to know. But one thing I do is gain weight quicker than any human alive. If gaining weight was an Olympic sport youre looking at your gold medalist in a landslide. I mean to go from walking so much to not moving? Then trying to lose it all so I can actually follow the main man is brutal. Other than that ... you miss me or something?Hoggard: Sure, we all missed you ... and the other guy. Lets forget expectations this week. Whats more likely, Tiger qualifies for the playoffs or Jordan Spieth three-putts from 2 feet at Augusta National?Tracker: Damn, you're digging deep here, Rexy. Remember, me dont write that good at all. Neither is happening, and I think you know that. But Ill play your silly little game Spieth three-putting from 2 feet at Augusta National is more likely. Only because there is still so much unknown from Tiger and how hell play, where hell play and if he plays. No?Hoggard: Look, man, youre the all-Tiger, all-the-time guy. Hows your schedule shaping up? Thinking Torrey Pines, L.A., Honda, Bay Hill. Anything booked after that (hint: if Tiger remains healthy you may want to join a hotel and airline rewards program)?Tracker: Sounds about right. I wish hed stay away from Torrey, but it wont happen. And I loved Dubai earlier this year but I just think the optics of going there again would be awful. So, if healthy, give him the four majors and The Players, the four you listed, the Memorial, The (sponsorless) National and maybe something like the Wyndham and were getting well into the double digits if he doesnt qualify for the playoffs. That seems like crazy talk, considering two months ago he didnt know if hed ever play again.Hoggard: OK, lets finish strong here. Of everything Tiger said on Tuesday, what gave you the most encouragement going into the first round?Tracker: Simple, that hes pain free. I havent believed him in the past when hes said that because Ive seen his face, Ive seen him wince. This week, so far, Ive seen none of that so I tend to believe him. He looks in great spirits, is smiling on the golf course with his buddies and I think that, more than anything, bodes well for a solid four days.Hoggard: Agreed, although I also liked how he seems to be coming off that second sucks mentality. This road will be long and Tiger, and Tiger Tracker, will need to be patient. Good opening act, TT. Catch you on Thursday.Tracker: Cool, thanks again for letting me tag along. Henceforth, I'll stick to tracking.
