Is TIGER WOODS on his way back? It's Time!

 This article puts into words what I thought about the Ryder Cup. Tiger sort of disgraced himself during one of the 4 Plays, but then so did some of the other players - and all the other matches he played in were reminiscent of the 'old' Tiger. Way to go!

Tiger Woods is on his way back, watch out PGA:

Tiger Woods is back.

Woods, the No. one ranked golf player in the world, seems to have regained his groove and swing at the Ryder Cup this past weekend.

He beat European representative Francesco Molinari, who was up by two through the first three holes.

Well, it's either that Tiger was lucky or he proved again to the world what he is capable of doing on the course.

We can guess it wasn't just luck this time which lead to Woods' fourth win in Ryder Cup singles. The stats prove it: Woods birdied seven holes, and also eagled once for the rest of the 15 holes. You can't do all of that with just luck. Tiger used the skills we always knew he had.

But at the start of the Ryder Cup, many questioned United States captain Corey Pavin's selection of an inconsistent Tiger Woods.

The experienced Pavin proved us wrong.

The U.S. Ryder Cup team might have lost the cup this year to Europe, but with Tiger's performance, it certainly is good news for the Professional Golf Association, and also, for Tiger himself.

He stated, "I played well today. It was nice to turn my match around like I did."

His opponent, Molinari, was content with the way he played; he just wasn't content with going against Tiger. He said, "I had a good start and I think I played all right. But if Tiger plays like that, there's not much you can do."

PGA players, you aren't competing with an inconsistent Tiger and the rest of the players anymore—you're playing with the rest of the players and the Tiger.

Tiger Woods Bests Francesco Molinari in Ryder Cup. Good Job!

 It's nice to hear someone saying something nice about Tiger for a change. He's had a lot of bad press lately, but I thought he did quite well at the Ryder Cup. Too bad he was part of that record bashing in the 4-play, but otherwise he showed us all that he still has it. Hope he starts winning some tournaments before he actually loses world No 1.

Even though United States falls at Ryder Cup, Tiger Woods impresses by besting Francesco Molinari:

By Hank Gola DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER Monday, October 4th 2010

NEWPORT, Wales – Tiger Woods may have played his best round of the year Monday in a preview of what his new swing might hold for 2011.

Woods ran his Ryder Cup singles record to 4-1-1 with a 4-and-3 drubbing of Francesco Molinari, storming back from 2-down after three holes. Woods threw seven birdies and an eagle at the overmatched Italian, who had to feel as though he was playing the best player in the world.

'I had a good start and I think I played all right,' Molinari said. 'But if Tiger plays like that, there's not much you can do.'

'I played well today,' Woods said. 'It was nice to turn my match around like I did. I've been close t playing that way for a little bit now but I'm really looking forward to the rest of the year.'

And beyond.

Will Tiger Lose The World No 1 Spot To Westwood?

 I feel badly for Tiger. He actually played pretty well for most of the Ryder Cup. Unfortunately, he weill be remembered for the their disastrous rout in the last round of 4-Play. It was as though the entire European team caught fire as soon as they saw Tiger going down. It was simply impossible to make up that large lead. I hope that Tiger can take away something good from this game anyway

Westwood moves to second; No. 1 coming soon
Golf - MiamiHerald.com:

Lee Westwood became the No. 2 player in the world on Monday, then watched his European team claim victory at the Ryder Cup.

Westwood passed Phil Mickelson to earn the second spot, and it may get even better for the Englishman. According to some reports, Westwood may be in line for the No. 1 spot as soon as next week.

Westwood is expected to be in the field Thursday at the Alfred Dunhill Championship. A big finish at St. Andrews, where he finished second at this year's British Open, could be enough to be No. 1 for the first time in his career. Westwood is also expected to play in the Portugal Masters in two weeks and it's been reported he would be No. 1 in the world with just two top-20 finishes.

So Tiger Woods kept the No. 1 spot for the 278th consecutive week, followed by Westwood and Mickelson. Steve Stricker, who defeated Westwood in Monday's Ryder Cup singles matches, stayed fourth, while FedEx Cup winner Jim Furyk, PGA Champion Martin Kaymer, Paul Casey, Luke Donald, Rory McIlory and Ernie Els rounded out the top 10.

Matt Kuchar, Dustin Johnson and Graeme McDowell remained in spots 11-13, while Edoardo Molinari and Ian Poulter both moved up one to Nos. 14 and 15, respectively. Hunter Mahan dipped two to 16th.
Retief Goosen and Anthony Kim held on to their spots from last week. Zach Johnson and British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen switched places this week with Johnson up to 19th and the South African down to 20th.
Bill Haas collected his second PGA Tour win at the Viking Classic on Sunday and moved up 25 places to No. 64.
