Tiger Woods will play back-to-back because practice isn't enough

LOS ANGELES -- Give Tiger Woods credit for being all-in on his comeback. There might not be enough Bridgestone golf balls in his bag to handle the brutal test that is PGA National in Florida, given the way he just hit them in California, but he will endure regardless.Instead of the rough that swallowed up no fewer than 15 of his tee shots at Riviera Country Club during two rounds of the Genesis Open, there are water hazards on seemingly every other hole on the Champions course where Woods will make a second straight start.

He will be taking his shaky driving game to an unrelenting venue that typically is buffeted by windy conditions and potentially confidence-busting narrow fairways.

And there are just a few days to get it all straightened out.

"I need some tournament rounds,'' Woods said after a 76 following his opening-round 72 was well outside the cut line at the tournament where he first played as a 16-year-old in 1992.

It is a bold and perhaps necessary step in his comeback, as practice rounds and reps on the driving range clearly are not transferring to inside the ropes. A common malady for golfers of every shape, size and stature, bringing his game to the course is a far more difficult task.
