Without a doubt their most important senses are sight and sound. This also must be reflected in their skills which have smaller nasal cavities compared to Lions.

I will no say "terrible", and certainly is the same with lions and any other cat.

The sence of smell of tigers is as good as that of any felid, they can and do detect prey with that when they can. However, they prefer to do it with the sense of hearing most of the time, mainly because the habitat is very close. Sense of smell is better use for communication and territorial marking. 

Sight is also very usefull, but is secondary for hunting, remember that cats base they sight in movement. Reply
