Reports are saying that Tiger plans to return to golf at this year's Masters. Not terribly surprising given his love of the majors. I am a little surprised that he is not playing a warm up event first but as I thought about it more it makes sense.
Remember Martha Burke? You probably don't because the grand poo-pas at Augusta squashed her like a bug. She was the last person to try to create a media frenzy around The Masters that didn't involve golf. It didn't work. The head honchos there are like accutane for reporters.
So given that, it would seem that starting at The Masters will help cushion Tiger's landing a bit. It will be interesting to observe his and Steve Williams' behavior now that they are not demigods anymore though.
