Three-time major champ Padraig Harrington thinks Tiger Woods will win another major championship.
Harrington, who has trained obsessively to improve his ball speed and hit 193 mph this year while leading PGA Tour Champions in driving distance, marveled at Tiger's numbers on Saturday, which hit 178 mph on two occasions at The Match.
"I want to go and see it in person and see," said Harrington when asked if he would go watch Tiger on the range at the PNC."I think he needs a little bit of physicality as in that ball speed. It's just tough if you go out there against these young guys, there's so many of them that they're hitting it and they're overpowering golf courses.
Woods had to withdraw from the Hero World Challenge earlier this month due to plantar fasciitis and suggested that even in a best-case scenario he only will attempt to play the majors and a very limited schedule beyond that. Woods was able to use a golf cart at The Match and will do so again this week at the PNC Championship at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, which is played under the rules of PGA Tour Champions and allows carts.
"When I've seen him hit balls he looks a lot like the Tiger Woods of pre-accident," Stewart Cink said."But it's just more of the getting around for consecutive days and walking up and down hills. I would not even pretend to know what he's going through. But he's told me about some of the pre-round stuff he has to do. He's not really big on letting you in on a lot but he's told me some, and I don't know if I would still be out here trying.
