If Tiger Woods does not have a good showing this week at Firestone CC, a course that he has practically owned since 1999, then people will start asking if Tiger Woods can come back.

Ever.

I’m not asking that mind you.  But guaranteed, that question will come up.

Woods has won seven times at WGC-Bridgestone Firestone, and he didn’t play in 2008 or it probably would have been eight.

Woods is so good at Firestone South that he blew away the low record score of 269 shot by Jose Maria Olazabal by ten shots in 2000.

He carded a 259.

That’s 259 at Firestone South, where for years the record was 276, by Lanny Wadkins.

There was a plaque commemorating it.  It may be gone now.  Paved over by new history in the making.

When Woods shot the 259, he won by 11 strokes.  And this is on a par 70 course with only two par fives, one of them often not reachable.

Woods so owns the place, he won in the dark in 2000. He won a seven hole playoff with Jim Furyk, with Furyk holing out from a bunker to keep the playoff going. He won leading, and also from behind, as he did last year. He’s an amazing 109 under par for the rounds he’s played at Firestone since 1999.



It’s as though the entire golf course is working for him and against everybody else. He’s won every event there since 2005, except the year he didn’t play.

“Coming here each and every year, I've always liked it,” Woods said about Firestone. “I played here as an amateur and liked it then and got to play here from '97 until today. You know, it's just—even the golf course has changed a little bit, just length and certainty locations and a couple bunkerings here and there, but it's the same golf course you pretty much see when The Big Three ( Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player) played...
