PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – There was a time players trying to close out a victory didn’t want Tiger Woods in their heads.
They didn’t want him trashing things in there, rattling focus, smashing confidence and busting up their plans to win a trophy.
Tiger is in Jason Day’s head now, but this Tiger, the circa-2016 Tiger, is a welcome guest.
For Day, it’s a good thing, but not so much for all those players Day is learning to beat with regularity.
With his four-shot victory Sunday at The Players Championship, Day has now won seven of his last 17 PGA Tour starts.
