Recovery For Tiger Woods At Deutsche Bank Golf Tournament 2010

Further optimism is seen for Tiger Woods game, after regaining some form at the recent Barclays tournament to finish at a respectable 12th placing. He notched birdies on the second, fourth, sixth and seventh holes on Saturday, after a dreadful first day at the Deutsche Bank Championship 2010.

“To start off that way, that was nice,” he said. That, however, wasn’t the tone on the first day: Woods, who ranked 65th in the FedEx Cup standings, started to shoot a one-over 72, only ahead of five players in the 99-man golf tournament. “I just didn’t have it today,” he told the Press after the first round. But it’s not  just “today” – Wood’s game has been in the doldrums for quite a while: many people naturally felt that his domestic problems that led to his recent divorce from Swedish wife, Elin, were sapping his mental strength and thence his focus on the game.




Leading the golfers on 64 at the Deutsche Bank tournament were Australia’s Jason Day and American Zach Johnson. Day expressed that “everything kind of clicked” at this event, while the obviously delighted Johnson felt the good start will create the momentum for the rest of the golf tournament.

WCG Bridgestone Invitational 2010 Prize Money | World Golf Championship Leaderboard

Is Tiger Woods, the champion of four of the recent five WCG Bridgestone championships, in danger of losing the number one position to fellow golfers Lee Westwood or Phil Mickelson? The stakes are high as it is not just the prize money of $8,500,000. Pride and status are intertwined in such high profile tournaments.

Pressure is surely mounting on Tiger Woods as he has not won a tournament since November. But the scales are still tipped in favor of Tiger Woods; afterall, he has one of the most illustrious career in the history of golf when he has been the leading player for the at 270 weeks and for an overall total of 612 weeks.

Regardless of the outcome, this year’s WCG Bridgestone Invitational should be exciting.
