Tiger Woods: How To Gauge His Success at Torrey Pines

There are a lot of ways to determine success. For some people, it is getting up every morning and being on the right side of the grass.  Others are tougher on themselves, including most of us.  

Champions, like Tiger Woods seem to be toughest of all on their performance because they expect a lot in terms of results.  However, they are more realistic than most people know.  They know how their practice sessions have gone.  They know how they feel over putts. They know if their drives have the right ball flight.  We don’t.  We have to guess, based on what we see and hear.

Players like Woods and Phil Mickelson are asked for a lot of press conferences, particularly when they have won a tournament. How they handle that situation gives members of the media some idea of how they are feeling coming into the competition. 

If Woods declines, there is something wrong, perhaps a sign that his confidence is not where it should be.

Mickelson, being a local, if he does not agree  to meet the press, then we might gather there are some kind of issues. It would be total speculation, but that's where everyone's thoughts would go until information to the contrary is presented. 

Next, there’s time spent on the range.  Torrey Pines has a minimal range, and if Woods or Mickelson wants to spend a few hours, they might spend it elsewhere, at any one of the clubs up and down I-5. 

Having passed the pre-tournament interview and the practice sessions, it’s how they feel coming off the course after a pro-am.  Are they chatty and feeling good?  Are they playing duck and cover with reporters?  Now, they could be feeling great and still play duck and cover. 

The first tee shot is always a good indication, but we may not see it live.  Tee times are divided into morning and afternoon sessions...
