Year of the Tiger

Tiger capped off this weekend's Chevron World Challenge with a little Tiger Magic on the 72nd hole. Woods and Zach Johnson were tied going into the final hole, where both striped their drives right down the center.
Tiger was about ten yards in front of Johnson, who hit his approach shot first. Johnson stuck his approach to about 12 feet away, leaving himself with a makable birdie attempt.

And this is the moment where Tiger said to the golf world, "I'm back bitches!". Immediately after hitting his approach, tiger confidently marched towards the green, so sure that his ball would be inside of Johnson's.

At this point, I don't think there was anyone who was watching at home or at the golf course(including Johnson) that didn't think Tiger was sinking his 10 footer. You could just tell by the way Johnson struck his putt that the intimidation factor of Tiger is inching its way back into the minds of all the golfers.

And wouldn't you know it, after Johnson tapped in for his par, Tiger erupted the crowd with a patented giant fist pump after sealing the deal by sinking the birdie putt. Watch out next year golf world. He's back, and whether or not you root for him, the man just single-handedly makes golf interesting.
