The Masters Tournament Will See Tiger Woods Return
“He’s baaack!” Tiger Woods has announced he will be a part of 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. No, that will be for another day, when Woods feels like talking. For now, enjoy Tiger Woods’ return.
What would the Masters amount to without him?
Not much, that’s what. I do not mean to belittle the accomplishments of:
- Steve Stricker
- Camilo Villegas
- Ernie Els
- Dustin Johnson
- Matt Kuchar
- Ben Crane
… or Padraig Harrington for that matter. All of these guys can play the game of golf at the highest level and have the top FedEx Cup point totals. Veterans like Harrington are lurking in the rough. (He moved up from 106th to 37th in the span of a week.) Sometimes, though, it appears 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. Tiger Woods’ return is dirty enough.
Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren are all the soap opera we need
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 of the two. If what you really care about is the golf (welcome aboard), then check out Tiger Woods as The Masters Golf tournament 2010 is streamed online. The Master online might be one’s best bet at sticking to the golf. You don’t 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 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 need to be, even though it’s been a while since I last played.”
This will be his first tournament since the car crash
Whatever took place, Tiger wants to move on. He isn’t waiting for car loans to make things better, though. He’ll let his woods, irons, wedges and putter do the talking at The Masters Golf Tournament 2010. 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 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?
Pro golfers and golf analysts know where their bread is buttered. Commentator Johnny Miller says Woods is going to “come back strong ,” which is not unfounded, as he is a strong competitor and he’s had sabbaticals before. 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 had it right when he talked about the master of 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 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 the most prestige. Tiger Woods draws crowds and advertisers. He had a huge hand in the PGA tour becoming popular.
