It looks like Tiger Woods may be back on the golf course sooner than most of his critics expect. British website "News of the World" has obtained photos that reportedly show Tiger on the golf course preparing for a comeback. Some believe that the comeback will occur at the Tavistock Cup in about two weeks.
In the pictures, Woods is said to be at his home in Isleworth, where he lives. The golf outing lasted nine hours, implying that Woods was doing some serious preparation.
During the scandal, where Tiger was accused of cheating on his wife, Elin, Woods said that he was taking an indefinite break from golf. In his televised apology in February, Woods stated, "I do plan to return to golf one day, I just don't know when that day will be. I don't rule out that it will be this year."
This is right on schedule. As I mentioned in one of my prior pieces about Tiger Woods, he is not going to miss this season for the world. Tiger has too much to gain by coming back and too much to lose by not returning immediately. He won't wait until the end of the season to make his heroic return. He will return in time for the Masters and position himself to absolutely torch the field.
Golf in America does not exist without the presence of Tiger Woods. Even Accenture, the first sponsor who dropped Woods, was incredibly polite in their reaction to Woods' televised press conference, which completely undermined their signature event. The reason they were so polite was likely driven by the fact that they realize that maintaining a good relationship with the greatest golfer in the history of all mankind might be a good corporate strategy. While Accenture may never re-sign Tiger as their spokesperson, they know that Tiger has the ability to turn the lights off or on during their tournament by choosing to appear or stay home. Everyone must be nice to Tiger, even if they think he's a sex addict (which I don't believe he is).
The Tiger Woods' life story just got interesting. There is quite a bit more to come.

Boyce, stop commenting about what you don't know! I do notice that you do read what I write. I told you Tiger would not miss the Masters, when you believed he would miss the whole year, now you say it like you knew it all along. Dont talk about the Taviststock cup either, you know nothing about it and never heard about it until someone who knows golf said that would be Tigers first tournament back.
Did you get your PHD, by writing the following "Woods is said to be at his home in Isleworth, where he lives". His home is where he lives? you might have to explain that his home is where he lives to your "black world" listener, but to all others it goes without saying. He was "accused" of cheating?
His nine hour "outing" as you call it, is his normal daily practice routine during the season. No one who has ever played golf would call it an "outing" you Jacka44!
You call it a heroic return? Returning to golf after your found cheating on your wife (and 2 kids) is not something heroic. I still like Tiger, but you really have to have your head up his a$$ to say this it heroic. He will have a tough time, torching the field, as you call it, buy the way how does one get in the field of the Masters, I know you have no idea, but claim to be an expert.
Again, Golf was here before Tiger, during his absence and will go on after him. Did you know golf is one of the oldest sports around? I'm sure you didn't. Golf may not live without Tiger in your "black only world", but in the real world it has always thrived.
Did you ever think that Accenture was being polite because they were showing class? You seem proud that Tiger undermined the Accenture event, showing your lack of class.
Lastly, Tiger is not the greatest golfer in the history of all mankind, a name I'm sure you will not be familiar with, Bobby Jones, is. If you consider class into the equation Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson are also greater. But, none of them are black, so they don't exist in your world. No true PHD could make so many simple mistakes in 5 short paragraphs.

Freaking Cocky caucasians! Since you can't relate to this, but rich people have lots of homes; summer homes, Aspens homes, paris chataeu, English Villa etc, stupid man. That doesn't mean the "live" in these homes, they just pop by from time to time! "Live" in this context implies they actually stay there MAJORITY of their time. Get it fool?

I'm really tired of these Tiger stories. Who cares if he returns except those people who are putting on these tournaments. I didn't think much of him before his problems came to light. So he teaches youngsters to golf. The won't be able to afford the gear or be able pay the green fees to get better as time goes on. He can impress me more by giving away scholarships to colleges or even better sponser so inner city programs to get these kids off the streets. Open some daycares for the mothers who need it while their trying to work or go to school to better their lives. There are alot of more urgent needs than teaching kids to golf.
