The last time Tiger played what you could possibly call a full schedule was 2013 & that was only 16 events. He happened to win 5 of those starts.
Since that period he has played 91 round of competitive golf. The young guns of the tour play nearly that many rounds in a season.
Time away from the game doesn't do anyone any good especially when it involves back fusion surgery. All the off the course stuff probably hasn't done him any good - to what degree who really knows.
Ask Sang Moon Bae what his mandatory military service did for his golf game.
There's golf & then there's tournament golf. I have hated it when Tiger has said this in the past, but it is true today. He needs the reps & even with that it may not be enough.
