It's The Masters

Well, it's going to be the Masters that will serve as Tiger Woods' return to professional golf. Some things I just don't get and this is one of them. First off, it is difficult to arrive at a major championship after a long layoff without having had any competitve rounds under your belt for months. Secondly, it would seem to be logical to go ahead and face the public at an earlier time, go ahead and answer all the inevitable questions and be done with it. It would take an hour or less of Mr. Woods' time to successfully defuse the press and quiet the discontent among the public in order to allow him to save some face and begin to repair his public image. Is he being stubborn? Likely yes. Is he being advised to act as he has over the past several months? Probably not. We shall see how this all plays out this summer, which may be a difficult one for Tiger. But once the birdies and eagles begin to fall, perhaps that will be all that matters once again. That, would be a good thing.
