"He's baaack!" As a former Augusta National champion, Tiger Woods has the privilege of being able to participate within the Masters Golf Tournament 2010, as he has said he will. It was always a matter of time before he would return. And considering how tightly controlled media coverage is at that elite golf event – and just how fruitless it can be for the likes of TMZ to use short term loans to try to crash the party – he won't have to field too numerous uncomfortable questions. No, that will be for another day, when Woods feels like talking. Still, it is Tiger Woods’ return.
What would Masters golf tournament 2010 be without him?
Well, maybe not too much. I do not mean to belittle the accomplishments of:
- Steve Stricker
- Camilo Villegas
- Ernie Els
- Dustin Johnson
- Matt Kuchar
- Ben Crane
… or even the always dangerous Padraig Harrington. They all play at an elite level and lead in FedEx Cup totals. Veterans like Harrington are lurking within the rough. (He went from 106th to 37th in one week.) But I'm horrified that the NASCAR virus appears to be infecting the PGA Tour. Winston Cup, FedEx Cup? Coincidence? Sponsorships are necessary, of course, but let us leave out Copenhagen and advertisements for "Larry the Cable Guy" DVDs, please. This Tiger Woods business is dirty enough.
Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren are circus enough, without the bread to go with it
Elin Nordegren and Tiger Woods are seen together in public … again. TMZ is going to air the Woods/Nordegren pics tonight on TV, but they aren't above teasing us with them. If you only care about his golfing, The Masters Golf Tournament 2010 will be streaming online. The Master online might be one’s best bet at sticking to the golf. You might not want to miss Tiger Woods’ return.
Why Woods says The Masters golf tournament 2010 is his gig
"The Masters is where I won my first major and I view this tournament with great respect," said Tiger Woods in a statement towards the media. "After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I'm ready to start my season at Augusta. The major championships have always been a special focus in my career and, as a professional, I think Augusta is where I have to be, even though it's been a while since I last played."
This could be his first tournament since the automobile crash
Whatever happened that night, Woods is ready to put it behind him. He isn't waiting for automobile loans for making things better, though. He’s content to let his clubs do the talking. But will the crowd be happy to see him?
"I hope they boo him off the course," Alice Kohn of Miami said last week. "He should be booed for the very same amount of time he spent cheating on his wife. I used to love Tiger, but now I can't stand him. I nevertheless love golf. I nevertheless watch it on TV. But I won't be happy to see Tiger on the golf course. Not anymore."
Is Tiger ready to roar?
Pro golfers and golf analysts know where their bread is buttered. Outspoken commentator Johnny Miller says Woods will "come back strong," which is not unfounded, as he is a strong competitor and he’s had sabbaticals before. Tiger knows his business; if he didn’t intend on going out to dominate, he wouldn’t be doing it.
Players "The Big Easy" Ernie Els had it right when he talked about the master in the Masters, as Woods has won it four times. Els knows Woods "will be embraced by the players" upon his re-emergence. According to USA Today, money talks. Since Tiger Woods has been involved in the PGA Tour, prize cash has grown from $ 65.95 million in 1996 to $ 279.8 million for this season. The Masters golf tournament 2010 is not the biggest cash prize, but it does have one of the most prestige. Tiger Woods draws crowds and advertisers. He is the engine that made the PGA Tour great.
