PGA Tour 2012: Has Tiger Woods Truly Regained His Form?

After last week's horrendous finish at the Masters, the golfing world has all been pondering whether or not Tiger Woods has truly regained his old form.

The answer seemed to be yes, when he won at the Arnold Palmer Invitational a few weeks ago, and claimed his first official victory in over 30 months.

However, when Woods teed it up at the Masters just two weeks after his defining win, Woods baffled all who was watching.

He should have been riding on the momentum after his win; he should have been playing great golf; and he should have been in contention to capture the green jacket.

Unfortunately, that was not the case, and after a decent even-par round on the first round, Woods fell even further as the week progressed. His frustration was clear on Friday's round when he approached the par-3 16th. Woods hit his nine iron into the green side bunker, dropped his club, then kicked it out of pure frustration.

Woods would go on to shoot rounds of 75, 72 and 74 to finish the Masters at five-over-par.

Considering that he's finished in the top five the last two years, no one would have guessed that Woods' performance was going to be that poor.

The Tiger Woods of old would have used his momentum after his victory to push him into contention at the Masters.

He wouldn't be kicking his club in frustration. Instead, the Tiger of old would have been twirling his club and staring down his shots after every swing.

Of course, this is the Tiger Woods of new and though the Tiger of new has shown progress, he has not shown consistency. He was able to capture a victory at Bay Hill, but he was unable to continue the trend the following week.

In fact, his performance at the Masters wasn't even close to what he put together at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Woods was under par for all four rounds that week, but Woods never even shot a round under par at the Masters.

Only time will tell if Woods is back to his old form, but something tells me that he will never be quite like he used to be.
