Tiger gave an impromptu press conference on the 18th green after he finished playing five holes at Bluejack National. Bob said that Tiger of course looked rusty, but it has been awhile for the former World No.1 player and multi major champion.  Tiger mentioned to the media members there that he is limited to how many balls he can hit with the driver and other clubs.
Kevin asks if Tiger only played 5 holes because he was in pain? Bob sad no, that Tiger warmed up with Mark O'Meara and went through his whole bag of clubs including a secondary driver. Tiger wasn't swinging hard and wasn't trying to over do it.
