Tiger Woods will return to golf at Augusta, Georgia for the Masters on April 8th. I'm happy Tiger made this decision and I don't blame him one bit.
How much more can a man sit at home, go to sex rehab, and show how much he's sorry to his wife Elin Nordegren, and avoid the tabliod media, who's treating him like he's Britney Spears.
If all of you can't stand the fact that Tiger is coming back in the Masters, that's tough because he's Tiger Woods and he can do almost anything he wants and can get away with it. You saw how he had his press conference and hand picked his friends, family, and few media members to attend for his weak apologie to America. We all felt for his trap and treated this like President Barack Obama's State of the Union Address or when Bill Clinton announced he didn't have sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky.
Why would he want to come back for the Arnold Palmer Invitational at the Bay Hill Course in Orlando, Florida next week? Arnold Palmer, who won 62 PGA Tour wins, including seven majors, is one of the greatest golfers ever and his tournament would have been a huge distraction with media outlets around the world trying to get every Tiger soundbite they can get. Thank you Tiger for being very considerate.
I hope he treats the Master's like he's prepared to win the event and not a 12-step program. I want the Tiger who was full of joy when he won his 1st major at the Masters at the age of 21 in 1997. The man who played with an injured leg and defeated Rocco Mediate in a total of 91 holes to win the U.S. Open almost two years ago. I want the guy who won 71 PGA Tour wins, third behind Sam Snead (82) and Jack Nicklaus (73), including 14 majors, second behind Jack with 18 majors. I don't want the man I saw at the press conference that looked stressed out, defeated, and look like he's been in rehab going cold turkey.
I know I'll be watching when he tees off for the first time in months. He will have his fans and he will have his haters, but we all know the PGA needs Tiger back in the worst way. Despite of what we see think of him sleeping with so many women, that doesn't effect what he does on the golf course. He's one of the most dominent athletes I've ever seen. I consider him my third favorite athlete ever, behind Micheal Jordan and Muhammed Ali. I can't wait until I see the media circus from every media outlet in the world. From CNN to TMZ, we will get some of the best access we had from this man in months. Twitter and Facebook accounts will be loaded with comments of what he's doing on and off the golf course.
If he finishes with a win or a top 10 finish, I think this would be a huge accomplishment considering what he put himself and his family through. As soon as he's finished playing in this event and win an event this year, all will be forgiven and we can move on with our lives.
So get ready for a Tiger roller coaster ride (Laughing) in the next few weeks. The media coverage will be more annoying than Brett Favre not making up his mind.
