JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- Tiger Woods looks like a guy who hasn't play much golf. Not tournament golf, which has been widely documented. Any golf.
And that's not good.
After a summer of indifference that included just four tournaments, two missed cuts, a lengthy overseas vacation and some lingering back issues, Woods figured to be ready to go for a three-week sprint in the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Instead, he could not have looked less sharp on Thursday during the opening round of the Northern Trust at Liberty National. Good thing spectators were not allowed onto the grounds early in the morning, because there was certainly nothing to witness with Woods, who shot 4-over-par 75 and appears headed for another weekend off.
