| Tiger returns to competition at the Masters |
Everybody was speculating for how long Tiger would stay away from golf. The news that he was practicing again, after undergoing therapy following the scandal about his infidelity that unraveled last November, led to think his return to competition was imminent. It was. The World No. 1 will be back in the field at Augusta National in three weeks, entering the Masters, a Major Tournament he won four times, including his first Major victory in 1997. About 25 players were either on the practice range or putting green preparing for the Transitions Championship when the news broke at 11:14 a.m. ET, and it was very welcomed by his peers. “I think it’s great for the game,” Trevor Immelman said. “It’s tough for a sport when your No. 1 player is not participating and we’ve had a few years now with the knee injury and this where he’s missed the majority of the season. So I think it’s fantastic for the game and for the TOUR and our sponsors to have the opportunity to have him back. That’s a no-brainer.” “I think it’s going to be great for him to get out of the house and play some golf,” said Bubba Watson, a frequent practice round partner of Woods. “Hopefully everything’s good in his life, and that’s what it shows. He said he wasn’t going to come back until he was ready. Hopefully, everything’s going well in his life and he’s ready to go and he’ll start performing like he used to.” Woods choice of venue for his return might have been influenced by the Masters long tradition, and the fact that everybody who enters the gates is very respectful of that. However, there will be fans in attendance who are disappointed by Woods’ recent revelations. “If he’s going to get some heckling, which everyone assumes that he will, he’ll get a lot less of it at Augusta than he will anywhere else,” Jim Furyk said. “It seems like it’s the smartest choice, the most prudent choice.” There are no major changes at Augusta this year, and Tiger is a four-time Green Jacket winner, so the return at the Masters also makes a lot of sense form a competitive standpoint. “If he wins the Masters it will not be a surprise to me-period,” said Rocco Mediate, who lost that thrilling 2008 U.S. Open to Woods in an 18-hole playoff. “I know he hasn’t been around for a while, and I know he’s been through hell but physically he’s ok and mentally he’s got to deal with it. But if anyone can do it, he can do it. If anyone can pull this off, he’ll pull it off.” Justin Rose sees Woods with even more motivation than a chance to get No. 15 in his chase to surpass Jack Nicklaus’18 major championships. “I think the best way for him to put all to rest is to win the golf tournament, so that’s obviously going to be his goal” Rose said. That’s exactly the way I feel, and the whole field is aware of Tiger’s intentions. Furthermore, Woods has won his first start of the season since his first full season on Tour in 1997. Are you going to forget him in your betting at the Masters? I wouldn’t. Check out the odds and pairings at BetPhoenix.com Sportsbook, and join the excitement of Golf-betting.
