The day every golf fan has been waiting for has finally arrived. TIGER WOODS will be returning to the fairways next week in Arizona. Last June, following his third U.S. Open victory - his 14th major - Tiger was forced to undergo reconstructive ACL surgery. The road back from recovery has been long, and many wondered when he would make his return. His return was made official earlier today, when he posted the announcement on his website, tigerwoods.com. Tiger's debut will come next Wednesday at the WCG-Accenture Match Play Championship, at the Gallery Golf Club at Dove Mountain.
Tiger's return could quite possibly be one of the most anticipated returns of a major sports star. I can't remember when the return [from an injury] of a major athlete meant more to a sport. I know others shined this past season while Tiger was in the clubhouse recovering. But come on. Its Tiger Woods. He is golf's face. And with just over 7 weeks until the season's first major. It is the perfect time for Tiger's return to golf. If he feels comfortable walking, swinging, and putting. You know the rest of the PGA Tour are feeling uncomfortable knowing he is back. I know I am glad to see Tiger coming back. No one does the fist pump like he does.
