Welcome back Tiger
Thursday, February 19, 2009 at 10:07PM He's back!
And not a moment to soon. Last we saw Tiger, he was vanquishing Rocco Mediate in a playoff to win the U.S. Open ... all the while playing with a fractured leg and torn ACL.
Tiger makes his return to the links next week at the Accenture World Match Play, an event he's won three times, including last year. PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem must be breathing a huge sigh of relief; with Tiger on moth-balls the past eight months, television ratings have been in the toilet for the listless tour.
The lesson: the PGA Tour needs Tiger; the sponsors need Tiger; the other players need Tiger; heck the country needs Tiger. It's nice to have him back -- we need the diversion. Hopefully he'll bring some magic back to our sports scene.

if he makes the cut, and how can we bet against that, weekend ratings will double and even triple. i cant wait, i was actually starting to think i likedCharlie Hoffman, but now that Tiger is back, so long everybody...
