More than two years after his last victory, Woods finally got back on the winning side on Sunday, beating Zach Johnson by a stroke with a final-hole birdie putt at Woods' own Chevron World Challenge.
No, it wasn't a PGA Tour win. Yes, it was a win against a very short field - only 17 other golfers in the tournament. Both criticisms are true, and neither one matters at all.
When you are arguably the greatest golfer of all-time and you haven't won in two years, it doesn't matter where that next win finally comes. Just that it does come.
Woods earned the victory by finally making a couple clutch putts on the last two holes, the kind of putts that were once routine for Tiger but had been in short supply recently. His ballstriking and shotmaking were excellent throughout the tournament. And winning will probably do wonders for Woods' confidence.
What do you think this victory bodes for Woods in 2012? Is it a fluke, a cheap victory against a tiny field, or is it the beginning of another round of Woods domination?
