Tiger will never make it back to the golfer he was. However, if he wants to win some majors, he has to be like all the other Pros. He's got to play most of the tournaments instead of how he has in the past playing only the majors and selective tournaments. He has to face competition weekly in an effort to regain his touch.
Tiger is now 9 back of the leader. To make the cut, he has to be within 10 shots of the leader. He'll have to shoot at least 4 or 5 under par tomorrow to guarantee making the cut. Even that might not be enough, but I think it will.
