subject: Tiger Woods Try to Advance in the Playoffs [print this page] The Deutsche Bank Championship is not like other Tour event that it starts on Friday and finishes on Monday, Labor Day.According tothe schedule, there is no urgency to get to TPC Boston before Wednesday.
Tiger Woods must have a good tournament tokeep in the top 70 and join in the BMW Championship next week. But that wasn't enough to get him to the driving range before Wednesday at 3 p.m. He hit balls for 45 minutes and then walked to the short-game practice area with a small bucket of balls in each hand. Instructor Sean Foley, absent for the long-game session on the range, greeted Woods and the two walked together.
It seems that Woods begins rediscovering his game after announcement of his divorce last week.
Heis pleased forhis best FedEx rank all season.
Woods has perhaps gone from having one good round per tournament to two, and he will look to make it three or four at TPC Boston, where he's won once and finished second twice. He will regain his proud from here.
He will finish more than 54th place to join the BMW, and he will likely need two eighth-place or better finishes, or one third, to reach the Tour Championship.
It is possible playoffs might notbe enough to motivate Tiger on Tuesday, but many of those from 70 to 100 in the standings were on the range despite temperatures in the mid-90s. For them, the end of the 2010 season is approaching, and every word is the same word urgence.
