The Players Championship—the unofficial fifth major of the PGA Tour—will begin play on Thursday. Tiger Woods returns to the course after finishing tied for 17th, playing just his second tournament of the year since returning from a self-imposed sabbatical.
What They're Saying
Tiger Woods (via CNN): "This three-day window is really hard. I haven't slept these three days, May 3 and through today/ [It] is just brutal on me and then with obviously what happened on Sunday [breaking up with Lindsey Vonn], it just adds to it."
Johnny Miller (via Orlando Sentinel): "The rarest thing in golf is the guy who makes the pressure putts. If he [Jordan Spieth] keeps the putter going, really the sky's the limit."
Predictions
It's a safe bet, but Jordan Spieth's elimination from the WGC-Cadillac Match Play will serve as motivation this weekend. Spieth finished tied for fourth at the event last year, and showed every bit the poise and comfortableness necessary to walk away the winner.
