Welcome to another edition of The Grind where we wish Daylight Saving Time had come a week earlier. With Tiger Woods and LeBron James playing at the same time, I hadn’t been so excited about staying up late on a weekend night since I was in college. But come Sunday morning, I really could have used that extra hour of sleep. Fueled by adrenaline and Monster (kidding, I haven’t had one of those since college), though, I put on my Tiger (business casual) red and powered through. Let's jump right in because we have a LOT to talk about.

Tiger Woods: Remember when people were writing Tiger’s career obituary after that ugly first round at the Open in July? Even though he had won THE MASTERS just three months before? Whoops. Don’t underestimate this guy. Ever.

Column: The measure of Woods is more about the players he's beating than the legends he's chasing

“If I've got a swing, I've got a shot.” Bubba Watson has always played golf with this mentality, and outside of maybe fellow escape artists Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, it's a mantra that fits the ball-shaping wizard better than anybody. But Bubba took that creativity to a whole new level during the final round of the Zozo Championship by attempting—and pulling off—arguably the most ridiculous tee shot in PGA Tour history.

Before we proceed, let's make it clear that this shot was completely legal—even if it made golf course architects around the world collectively cringe. Watson teed up behind the tee markers on the par-5 sixth hole at Narashino Country Club. He just aimed in a 90-degree angle away from the fairway, sending his golf ball sideways and through a gap between a tee sign and a tree. You have to see it to believe it:

What the..

From Tiger Woods' historic win in Japan to a major shake-up at CBS Sports, here is what you missed from golf this weekend.

There have been plenty legitimate questions raised over whether or not Tiger Woods should select himself with one of his four Presidents Cup captain's picks next week. First, was his current form worthy of a pick? He'd done almost nothing since his Masters victory, save for one backdoor top 10 at the Memorial. Then there was his health, which is always a concern with the 15-time major winner. He did not appear to be at full strength at the end of the season, and his latest knee procedure only further that notion. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, would he be able to handle double duty, something only Hale Irwin has done in the history of the event.
