Tiger

[HomerJSimpson]

According to the sexy minx that is Di Stewart on Golf Night, Tiger has announced his comeback at the Accenture Matchplay next week

 

[HTL]

GOOD! I'm sick of hearing about when he will. I hate the way the media is so concentrated on him. It will be good to have him back playing and making all the others players look silly.

He will have to hop around then, as I heard he can't walk yet. He's been hitting balls though, so he can't be far away.

It was on the pga website last week, a cut n paste from his blog that he is walking fine, his only problem is stamina.

I really hope he does come back next week, golf has missed him!

He will have to hop around then, as I heard he can't walk yet.

not sure about that!

this is good news though cos Di Stewart is hot!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I think thats why he's gone for matchplay - hoping to get it over with quickly each day but still getting 4 rounds under his belt.

 

[KeefG]

Yep....its true, its on his website:

"Tiger Woods announced today that he would compete in the 2009 WGC on Feb 23rd.

"I'm ready to play again" Woods said"

Welcome back Tiger!

I'm probably the only one who is thinking....." i don't particularly care !!! " .

I think its great the way golf has coped without the Messiah and whilst i can admire his domination , determination and skill , there's more to Golf than Tiger.

I know who will be looking forward to it though.....Tournament sponsors

Until he gets knocked out in the first round by Richard Green, Brendan Jones or Charl Schwartzel or whoever occupies 64th in the world on the approriate date.

Get in the hole TIGER haha

Hi everyone,

GM sub editor Tom here,

It is confirmed that Tiger is back,

What are everyone's thoughts about this?

 

[KeefG]

I think its fantastic news for the game, having the No1 ranked player in the world back can only be good news.

Lets be honest, if there was another player in the field capable of filling Tiger's boots then he wouldnt be missed half as much as he is, but the bare facts are that nobody is even close to Tiger.

Yes Sergio has climbed the ranks, and there are some really exciting young players coming through, but Sergio in his position as No2 ranked has hardly set the world alight has he?

For me, Tiger's return is excellent, i only hope his knee is ok and he re-discovers his best form as soon as possible.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I don't think there is anyway he'd come back not ready to play. I know he has a big contract with accenture and they want their pound of flesh but he is realistic enough to know if he goes out in the 1st round it won't do his confidence any good or please the sponsor. He needs to get fit again and the only real way is on the course in battle. He's ready!

Nomad..........I'm with you on this !Who has really missed him???
The media.....sure!
The organisiers.....maybe but dont think so(attendices are up at the OPEN!
The public...we want to see others coming thro.Sure it would be nice to see the guy back but he is not Superman
every one has to be beaten at some stage!£"

 

[Dodger]

me!! I have missed him terribly! PGA golf on the few Sunday nights he would have been playing just aint been the same!

I'm off to get the odds for the Tiger Slam now!

 

[Pinseeker]

The public...we want to see others coming thro

Its official! some guy called toyboy54 is now the spokesman for the public! phew!! i can stop thinking for myself now and relax.

If the others want to come through they should start trying harder!

 

[AlchemyGolf]

Anyone else coming back after a long lay off would have no chance of winning,remember when els came back after hurting his wrist,he struggled!!

But this guy is just unbelievable at doing the unexpected so I fully expect him to be ready and providing he has the stamina for the event, one of the favourites!!!

 

[HarryMonk]

Tiger coming back can only be good for the game, Garcia, Harrington and the rest have all raised their games and now Tiger must come back strong.

I don't think he will have it all his own way, so let battle commence.

 

[IM01]

Think everyone is pleased he's back.

Brendan Jones maybe hoped he'd leave it until March.

 

[theeaglehunter]

Homer is right in saying Tiger would not return until he is ready.

I am very much excited by this news though and can't wait for the matchplay to begin, he has definitely been missed and is an asset to the game for more than just sponsor money- he is truly remarkable to watch.
