NASSAU, Bahamas -- The conjecture in golf circles for years typically touched on the idea of Tiger Woods reinventing himself as a golfer, dialing back his power game to be more precise and efficient, highlighting other skills that would still allow him to be successful.
To borrow from the mantra adopted long ago by basketball star Michael Jordan: go from a dunking wizard to a jump shooter.
But if four rounds in the Bahamas showed us anything, Woods still wants to fly with the big boys.
Who knew the 41-year-old would emerge from a 10-month absence with his driver as the best weapon in his arsenal?
