Tiger Says He Has His Feels Back

Bob Harig conducted a phone interview with Tiger Woods post-Dubai, pre-non-Match-Play appearance and Woods admits he pretty much took the winter break off.

From Harig's report:

But Woods found a little form over the closing holes in Dubai, then made 10 birdies in 15 holes at an exhibition in India, where he drew big galleries in what was supposed to be a private 18-hole round during his first visit to the country.

"I took a lot of time off this winter to get ready for the season because it's going to be a long grind," Woods said. "It took three rounds in San Diego and three rounds in Dubai before finally it clicked in. My golf feels finally came back. Whatever shot I saw, I hit. Whatever number was given to me by Joey [caddie Joe LaCava], I hit. I had a wonderful feel for it.

"Then I went to India and it was just a continuation of that. I finally have my golf feels back. It just took a little longer than I would like."
