Perfect timing. Here’s what Tiger posted on his blog today:
The Masters is where I won my first major, and I view this tournament with great respect. 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 awhile since I last played. I have undergone almost two months of inpatient therapy, and I am continuing my treatment. Although I’m returning to competition, I still have a lot of work to do in my personal life.
When I finally got into a position to think about competitive golf again, it became apparent to me that the Masters would be the earliest I could play. I called both Joe Lewis and Arnold Palmer and expressed my regrets for not attending the Tavistock Cup and the Arnold Palmer Invitational. I again want to thank them both for their support and their understanding. Those are fantastic tournaments, and I look forward to competing in them again. I would also like to thank the Augusta National members and staff for their support. I have deep appreciation for everything that they do to create a wonderful event for the benefit of the game.
How much you want to bet he wins and we forget all about the scandal and send him back into the stratosphere as the greatest golfer ever? He’s jumping right back in!!!

WOW, SO SOON? I THINK IT’S A LITTLE TOO SOON BUT HEY THAT’S JUST MY OPINION!
A little too soon? Why? It’s not a medical condtion thats holding him back. Imagine if you cheated on your husband with 9 (or however many) women do you think your employers would give a fuck and allow you to take time off? No. Personal problems should’nt affect work, thats not the capitalist way.
^ U HAVE A POINT, VERY TRUE! 4 MY OWN SELFISH REASONS OF COURSE! I’M ALL TIGERED OUT!
Good for you Tiger, what was going on was no one’s business but you and your family. Be sure to kill the game and have the naysayers STFU!!!!
