He rushed his comeback....He should have taken the entire year off.

Agreed. We’ll see him again in February when he’s ready.

Yes, he should have taken enough time off to get completely well. A year or even more. But that inner drive that made him great makes him stupid too.

IMHO, Tiger put his career on the line at the 2008 US Open that he won after 91 holes. His opponent, Rocco Mediate, was no threat to his national standings, but Tiger played in horrible grinding pain anyway. I KNEW at the time he should have walked off the course rather than wreck his knee, and he knew it too, but the inner Tiger wouldn't let him. He's never been the same reliable winner.

He wants to catch Nicklaus’ Majors record. He can’t do that with his feet up on the coffee table. But he sees guys like Rory and Bubba and Scott and Rose and he knows he doesn’t have the dominance he used to. It’s slipping out of reach and it will drive him crazy.

How long has his comeback been - 3 years?
