e Australian GP for the second successive year when electrical failure strikes on formation lap.HIGH April 2016: Wins
Coming into the Hero World Challenge, there was serious doubt if Tiger Woods could finish all 72 holes. By Sunday night, Woods proved he could play a full tournament and make enough birdies and eagles to tie for the lead in that category for the week.There were plenty of positives from Woods time in the Bahamas, and a few negatives, too.So whats the future look like for the 14-time major champion? Our panel of experts talk all things Tiger.1. What kind of expectations do you have for Tiger going forward?SportsCenter anchor Matt Barrie: Tiger far exceeded my expectations this week, and because of it, I think, if healthy, he can win tournaments this season. Its clear he put a priority on getting his game in tournament shape. It was very encouraging. I expect him to win.SportsCenter anchor Jonathan Coachman: Big. And we all should. Second-most birdies in the field. Swing speed is there. I think any top athlete understands what happened on the back nine each day but Friday. He simply got tired, mentally and physically. None of us knows what it takes to be the absolute best at what you do. He does. So I take him at his word. When he tightens that stuff up, the sky is the limit. His game is there.ESPN.com senior golf writer Michael Collins: My hope is that he stays healthy for the year and we see him play about 12-14 tournaments. My expectations are that hell play some tournaments, show us some flashes of brilliance, and by the end of the year be ready to win again once he locks in his equipment.ESPN.com senior golf writer Bob Harig: They are still modest, but much higher after the way he looked this week. Nobody knew what to expect, and while it still is going to take time for him to get comfortable playing competitive golf again, this was a big step and a great place from which to build.ESPN.com senior golf writer Jason Sobel:? As far as success, Im still keeping the bar set pretty low. Lets allow him to get a few more tournament reps before we start assessing any potential for contending again. My expectations are more about his schedule. I fully expect him to play at Torrey Pines next month -- if not an event in the Middle East before then -- followed by, if he remains healthy, his own event at Riviera, then the Honda Classic and Arnold Palmer Invitational before the Masters.2. What does Tiger have to work on the most after his return to competitive golf?Barrie: He needs to work on tournament stamina and getting physically back in four-day shape. There seemed to be moments each day, specifically on his back nine, when his execution would slip. We can only assume fatigue could be setting in.Coachman: See my answer to the first question. And he also had some short-game problems. If he commits to adding more tournaments before the Masters, all of that can get worked out. He says he wants to play a lot. I would love to see him at a couple of events that he has never played. Clearly the excitement was back this weekend in a big way.Collins: Stamina. I know that sounds crazy to people who focus only on how much Tiger works out. Being able to get a good workout in and being able to play five rounds of golf in a row are so massively different there isnt enough room to tell you here. Tiger said it himself though; hes got to get in better golf shape.Harig: He needs to work on everything. And thats actually a good thing because there was no overwhelming, glaring weakness. There was the good and the bad for everything, but hes not so far away in any aspect that it is alarming. Tiger was surprisingly good in many areas of his game and it is apparent he just needs more time.Sobel: He needs to eliminate the big number. Woods had the same number of eagles/birdies as tournament winner Hideki Matsuyama, but posted five double-bogeys in four rounds. But I do think its easier for a player coming back from injury to eliminate bogeys than try to make more birdies. In that respect, this was a good sign.3. Where will we see Tiger next inside the ropes?Barrie: The Sony Open would be a logical next tournament for him. The field is competitive and its after the new year, which gives him more time to practice. But somewhere in Hawaii seems like a good next stop.Coachman: It better be sometime in January. And I do not suggest taking a money grab overseas. No long flights or other travel that is not work-related. This is a slow build to Augusta. Other than the two events in Hawaii, which he wont play, lets see him tee it up anywhere in January.Collins: Well, that depends on who we are. If we are the PGA Tour and U.S. fans, itll be Torrey Pines. If we are included in the international media, then it will be Abu Dhabi.Harig: The guess here is either the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship or the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. Or both. They are in consecutive weeks in January. If he doesnt play in Abu Dhabi, then Woods will open in San Diego.Sobel: I dont think even he knows yet; he admitted as much during his post-round interview session on Sunday. I wouldnt be surprised to see him compete in Abu Dhabi, and Id be absolutely shocked if he was healthy and didnt play the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines.4. How does Tiger handle the questions about his golf equipment choices for 2017?Barrie: By showing up to tournaments using new drivers, balls and putters. Hes going to play with what makes him comfortable, and he wont know until he uses them. Already ditching the Nike putter seems to be trending in a good direction.Coachman: It was pretty clear how happy he was having his trusty putter back. At this point in his career, he should use the equipment he feels gives him the best chance to win, not the company that makes him look the best. As a fan, I never thought about what equipment he was playing. I only worried about the fact that he was playing.Collins: By saying this: Im Tiger Woods and Im going to play what I want for a while. If Pat Perez can make a comeback and win with a bunch of different clubs, I think I should be allowed the leeway to do the same for a while too.Harig: Hes got many choices and the key now is not to get so consumed by it. Woods acknowledged that the testing process is lengthy, but he seems to have settled on the Bridgestone ball and hit the TaylorMade woods quite well. At some point, hell transition from the Nike irons he used this week and its possible he has different equipment companies in his bag.Sobel: He already has. Hes got the freedom now to play whatever clubs he wants on any given week. For an equipment geek like him -- and I call him that respectfully -- this freedom must feel pretty nice.

The decision, which comes following Kvyats crashes at his home race in Russia, has sent shockwaves around Formula 1 just four rounds into the campaign. The 22-year-old will drive for Red Bulls junior team Toro Rosso, who he raced for in 2014, from the Spanish Grand Prix while Verstappen, 18, makes the step up to partner Daniel Ricciardo. Verstappen replaces Kvyat Max Verstappen will form a new driver line-up for Red Bull - click here for full story. But while he was heavily criticised for his role in Sebastian Vettels retirement and Red Bulls lack of points in Sochi, Kvyat has secured the teams only podium of 2016 so far with a third-place finish at the Chinese GP. Really?, McLaren driver Button posted on Twitter. One bad race and Kyvats dropped, what about the podium in the previous race? #Shortmemories.Button went through several team changes as a younger driver and felt he was treated unfairly when dropped by Renault in 2002. I respect his [Verstappens] talent but hes got time on his hands, he added.The Briton wasnt the only one shocked by Red Bulls call. Verstappen has already being tipped by seasoned observers as a future world champion after starring in his debut season, and Sky F1 pundits believe Kvyats demotion is as much about the Dutchmans ability as the Russians errors.Helmut Marko, a Red Bull advisor and the head of their driver development program, was pictured chatting with Verstappen and his father Jos even before Kvyat had twice crashed into Vettel on the opening lap. We look back at the crash that cost Daniil Kvyat his place in the Red Bull line-up from the Spanish Grand Prix onwards. Helmut Markos been looking for chance to get Max Verstap in the senior team, Ted Kravitz wrote. Kvyat gave him two. Plus strengthens RBs hand in BIDDING WAR.RBR decision smacks of team coming under pressure from VES camp to retain his services, said former McLaren mechanic Marc Priestley. Little or nothing to do with Russian GP incidents.Martin Brundle felt that the move eases Toro Rosso relations with Verstappen and Carlos Sainz now split up and that both Horner and Markos failure to stick up for Kvyat in Sochi was telling. Sochi obviously final catalyst to changing Kvyat for Verstappen in a bigger picture, he said. Future contract for MV, takes tension out of MV v Sainz.It was telling that Red Bull didnt really defend Kvyat post Sochi race. In true F1 soap opera style I hope Kvyat really flies now in TR! Kvyats crash into Sebastian Vettel in the first lap of the Russian GP provoked this furious reaction from the German Mercedes and Ferrari had both reportedly been interested in signing 2015s Rookie of the Year Verstappen, despite team boss Christian Horner insisting he had a long-term deal.WATCH: F1 Report RussiaRachel Brookes added: Perhaps the prospect of Max being the subject of silly season prompted an early move from Red Bull too thwart off Merc and Ferrari? The Verstappens were seen in deep discussion with Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko in the Russian GP paddock Commentator David Croft, meanwhile, wrote: Wow, thats a quite a decision by Red Bull but is it as much about keeping Verstappen as it is about penalising Kvyat?Sky Sports News HQs Craig Slater took exception to Red Bulls statement, in which there was glowing praise for Verstappen.dddddddddddd. Just four races into the new season, Max Verstappen has swapped places with Daniil Kvyat. Verstappen will now race for Red Bull. If you read the wording of statement it says about the exceptional talent of Max Verstappen and the wish to develop him further, he said. No question about it, there are a lot of teams sniffing around, looking to get him on board.Its very difficult to see how this will enable Kvyat to get confidence back and find form again. Todays moves leave a big question mark over Kvyats future in the sport.Kvyats Red Bull highs and lowsHIGH September 2014: Told by Helmut Marko and Franz Tost over breakfast ahead of Japanese GP qualifying he will replace Ferrari-bound Sebastian Vettel at the Red Bull senior team in 2015.LOW February 2015: Crashes on one of his first laps in the new RB11 at the Jerez test, breaking the only front wing Red Bull have available at the time.
