Tiger Woods return slated for The Masters

"He's baaack!" Tiger Woods has announced he could be a part in the Masters Golf Tournament 2010, a privilege he holds as a former Augusta National champion. It was always a matter of time before he would return. The Masters controls the press with an iron first, so TMZ might as well not waste any short term loans to fly anyone over there. They’ll have to become content to wait for when Woods feels up to talking. For now, enjoy Tiger Woods' return.

What would the Masters amount to without him?

Not much, that's what. You would have to crazy or high to ignore the skill from the following players:

  • Steve Stricker
  • Camilo Villegas
  • Ernie Els
  • Dustin Johnson
  • Matt Kuchar
  • Ben Crane

… or even the always dangerous Padraig Harrington. All of these guys can play the game of golf at the highest level and have the top FedEx Cup point totals. Harrington is stalking a run at the top. (He went from 106th to 37th in one week.) Sometimes, though, seems like the PGA is going the way of NASCAR. 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

You did notice that Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren were spotted in public together … again. TMZ is already plugging their upcoming TV spread of pics in the two. If you only care about his golfing, The Masters Golf Tournament 2010 could be streaming online. The Master online might be one’s best bet at sticking towards the golf. You might not want to miss Tiger Woods’ return.

Tiger insists the Masters Tournament 2010 is perfect

"The Masters is where I won my first major and I view this tournament with great respect," said Tiger Woods in a statement to 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 when since I last played."

This could be his first tournament since the auto crash

Whatever took place, Tiger wants to move on. 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 normally well-behaved Augusta 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 exact same amount of time he spent cheating on his wife. I used to love Tiger, but now I can't stand him. I still love golf. I still watch it on TV. But I won't be happy to see Tiger on the golf course. Not anymore."

Is Tiger ready to roar?

Golfers and analysts know their business. Outspoken commentator Johnny Miller says Woods will "come back strong," a testament to both Wood's heart of a champion on the links and his previous performance after layoffs in play. Tiger is the ultimate golf perfectionist; if he isn't mentally focused on the Tiger Woods return, he won't play.

Players "The Big Easy" Ernie Els hit the nail on the head when he spoke of this master of the Masters (he's 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 debuted on the PGA Tour, total prize funds have gone 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.
