What They're Saying
Bob Harig of ESPN wrote on the progression of Tiger Woods, which is still there despite not winning last week in Dubai.
"For someone who became used to winning with such regularity, perhaps it is frustrating to be unable to close out the likes of Greg Chalmers (Australian Open) and (Robert) Rock, players to whom he has no business losing. Both are what would be best described as journeymen pros. Their victories with Woods in the field and in contention would be considered career feats.
Woods is clearly looking at the bigger picture, and if you consider where he was less than six months ago, his recent run is pretty impressive. He hardly looked ready to play, let alone compete, when he showed up for the Bridgestone Invitational and then the PGA Championship back in August, where he missed the cut by 10 strokes. He looked better at the Frys.com Open, but still finished tied for 30th.
"
Golfer to Watch
Woods. This is his American debut in 2012 and he is coming off of a disappointing final round of the Abu Dhabi Championship. Woods also won here in 2000 while also winning the U.S. Open that year, which was played at Pebble Beach.

In 2011, Points not only won the professional event, but also teamed with Bill Murray to take the Pro-Am. Murray will return this year.
There will be a decidedly NFL flavor to the amateur field this year with Jim Harbaugh, Harris Barton, Bill Belichick, Tony Romo, and Herman Edwards all playing. Also playing will be Oklahoma Head Coach Bob Stoops, Giants' pitcher Matt Cain, and ESPN's Chris Berman.

Prediction: Nick Watney
These tournaments set up well for Watney. He is from Northern California, so he is used to the kind of conditions that will be in Monterey. He has been one of the more consistent golfers in the world over recent years. This is the perfect time to break through and notch his first 2012 win.
