Tiger Talking Modern Game "Speed" At Drama-Free Hero World Challenge

For a silly season event—albeit one with world ranking points on the line—this Hero World Challenge has none of the baggage and sadness of some previous editions. As I wrote here for Golfweek, the tournament host arrives with the green jacket, a healthy body and only the burden of hosting the week before he serves as captain of the U.S. Presidents Cup team. Good times!

In Tuesday’s press conference, I tried to tee up Woods on the speed push in golf and if there are any dangers to it. His answer was insightful, though he stopped short of suggesting a remedy to minimize the increase in injuries. I explain for Golfweek.com here.

Woods tees off in round one of the Hero at 11:35 am ET.
