Tiger Woods Returns to The Masters
Tiger Woods returns to the PGA Tour today at one of the greatest events each year, The Masters.
This return brings an end to his self-imposed exile stemming from a car accident in November outside his home which was followed by his admission of extramarital affairs.
I hope this doesn’t take the spotlight off the great NCAA Tournament game tonight between Duke and Butler. Celebrity gossip and Tiger shouldn’t be on center stage tonight. It should be the game in Indianapolis.
From CNN:
Woods is practicing this morning at Augusta National Golf Club, and is set to participate in a news conference – his second since the scandal broke – at 2 p.m. ET. (Our partners at Golf.com will live blog the news conference here)
The golfer – even since his early childhood – has thrived in the spotlight and it may shine brighter today than it has before with millions of spectators turning on nearly any channel to catch him – not even on the course but at a news conference.
And our partners at Time.com wonder if Tiger, let alone any athlete, can be mentally prepared for what will happen at the Masters this year given all the attention. The tournament, they said, will effectively be a test of his toughness in the face of all of the drama. For other golfers, the spotlight on Tiger could be a good or bad thing. Golf.com’s Peter Kostis says while all eyes will be on Tiger at the start of the Masters, the real drama surrounds some of the players over 40 and under 30.

I’ve had enough of it all. Can’t wait till the “Talk” stops and he’s just who and what he is, although it’ll be interesting to see if he maintains this “Nicey-Nice” and Friendly demeanor toward his Fans on the Course, since his Acknowledgement and Appreciation of them was not part of his former nature. Only time will tell if he is truly a “Changed Man”— in all respects. I wish him and his Family well.
