Was Tiger Woods Sincere
Cal Thomas
Some media critics think Tiger's staged event with a friendly audience that included Woods' mother, his friends and selected journalists was too perfect, too scripted and too much. Others want to wait and see if he can put his family back together and get his golf game back on track.

Tiger's Woeful Tales: Tiger Woods Scandal
Clarence Page
The accident occurred as the tabloid and celebrity media were reporting the first of what has become more than a dozen reported mistresses with whom Woods has allegedly had relations during his marriage. Comedians are having a field day. On a Top Ten list of ways Woods could improve his image, David Letterman suggested, 'Release list of women he did not have sex with.'
Tiger Woods and Disposable Gods
Robert C. Koehler
Read the tabloids -- watch the tube -- if you want to know how a society that has lost its religiosity can still engage with the deities. The eerily appropriate term 'celebrity worship' is evidence of the extent to which we've improved on Greek culture: We've invented disposable gods and our latest example is Tiger Woods

Tiger's Troubles: Tiger Woods Scandal
Reader Comments
Hero worship is the problem, not the heroes. As a human being, chances are Tiger Woods is no better than whoever is sitting in the next room right now. If Tiger goes on to break every record in the book of golf, that's one thing. The mistake is thinking that excellence in any field, reveals anything about one's character

Big Mo a No-Go for Mojo Announcement
The tournament, an unofficial event on the LPGA schedule, takes place in mid-April in Jamaica. Sixteen players make up the field; 15 were named earlier. Some of the dozen golfers who were candidates for the 16th and final spot in the field campaigned hard for it. Anna Rawson, Beatriz Recari, Sandra Gal, Marianne Skarpnord, Vicky Hurst - all launched social media campaigns using Twitter and Facebook; some turned to YouTube and hired PR professionals.
All leading up to the announcement of the winning player on Tuesday, which was hyped for an evening reveal on the Golf Channel. Then two things happened:
As we said: What rotten timing. The Mojo announcement lost its mojo; weeks of great marketing work first slightly undermined, then completely overwhelmed. Buried.
Oh well. Stuff happens. The folks behind the Mojo 6 should still be happy with their efforts.
And Beatriz Recari should be happy at winning the fan vote. She's the 16th and last player in the field. See themojo6.com for more tourney details. Big Mo a No-Go for Mojo Announcement originally appeared on About.com Golf on Tuesday, March 16th, 2010 at 22:03:21.
What rotten timing. For weeks, the innovative Mojo 6 tournament was benefiting from an innovative marketing idea: allowing golf fans to vote on the final golfer to make the field.
Should Tiger Woods Play the Masters' Par-3 Contest?
These questions don't have to wait until Tiger tees off in Round 1 of the 2010 Masters. Some of them, maybe all of them, could be answered if Woods played the Par-3 Contest on Wednesday, the day before the first round begins.
Woods played the Par-3 Contest earlier in his career, but hasn't played since 2005. On his Web site, he once said about the tournament, "You play a practice round in the morning, then sit around for your tee time. It just becomes a long day and takes away from your main preparation. I'm sure there will be a day when I come back and play, especially when Sam and Charlie get a little older and can caddie for me."
Sam and Charlie aren't likely to be anywhere near Augusta this year; besides, putting Sam in a white Augusta caddies jumpsuit this year would be downright exploitive. But that doesn't mean Tiger himself can't show up for the Par-3.
It would be a gesture of goodwill from Tiger to the game of golf, and from Tiger to fans. He said in his apology, "When I do return, I need to make my behavior more respectful of the game." Many interpreted that remark to mean that Woods acknowledges he needs to give up the cussin', spittin' and club-throwin' that sometimes show up in his rounds; that he needs to be more fan-friendly and kid-friendly on the course.
Playing the Par-3 would certainly be a step in that direction. It's a lighthearted event full of smiles and laughter; Tiger could even do something he almost never does on the course - sign autographs.
The Par-3 Contest would take a lot of the tension out of Tiger's return - it would defuse the situation, which might even be good for Woods himself. He's surely wondering about those questions we asked up above, too.
The drawbacks? The Par-3 Course is in a confined space and it's packed to the brim every year already; crowd control would be a nightmare. And there's no doubt that a Woods appearance in the Par-3 Contest definitely would be a distraction to others. Then again, many players bring their kids along. Distractions in the Par-3 Contest are everywhere already. Besides, nobody is seriously concentrating during the Par-3. They're having fun.
And having fun on the golf course again is something Tiger needs to do.

How will Tiger Woods be received by fans at The Masters? Will Woods face catcalls? Boos? Or will the reception be a very supportive one? And what about Woods' attitude, his countenance, his body language on the course? And will his presence be a distraction to every other player in the field?
Vote: How Will Tiger Do at The Masters?
Woods has missed significant chunks of time twice before in his professional career. Following the death of his father in 2006, he came back at the U.S. Open at Winged Foot and missed the cut. Returning from knee surgery last year, Woods' first tournament back was the WGC Accenture Match Play Championship, and he lost in the second round. But he won a couple weeks later in his second tournament, the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Now we know with certainty that Tiger Woods is returning at The Masters. How will he fare there?
It's Official: Tiger Woods Back at The Masters
"The Masters is where I won my first major, and I view this tournament with great respect," Woods is quoted in the post on tigerwoods.com. "After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I'm ready to start my season at Augusta."
Woods' return had recently been rumored for the Tavistock Cup early next week, the Arnold Palmer Invitational later next week, and The Masters. The Masters is the winner.
"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," Woods said.
Woods' last tournament was the Australian Masters in mid-November, which he won. Less than two weeks later, Woods' now-infamous one-car accident occurred outside his home. And shortly after that, the alleged "Tiger mistresses" started appearing in the pages of tabloids and gossip magazines, launching the Tiger Woods scandals.
While Woods will have missed nearly four months of tournament time by the time of The Masters, he has skipped only three PGA Tour events he normally plays: The Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines; the Accenture Match Play Championship; and the CA Championship. He always plays the Arnold Palmer Invitational, too, but won't this year.
In his statement, Woods addressed his therapy and the decision about the timing of his return:
"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."

Ending months of rumor, innuendo and speculation, Tiger Woods today announced, in a statement posted on his Web site, that he will return to golf at The Masters. The Masters takes place April 8-11. "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.

Post-Round Penalty Changes Outcome of JLPGA Tourney
But shortly thereafter, a ruling - and a resulting penalty - changed Park's 64 to a 66 and moved her from the 1-stroke winner to one stroke behind the winner. The player who benefited, and got the victory, was Yun-jye Wei of Taiwan.
According to a Kyodo News Agency report (HT: The Constructivist), the infraction occurred on the very first green of Park's final round. Wei, playing in the same group as Park, explained it this way:
"Three of us then decided we would talk to a tournament official if we saw one later in the round, but we didn't see any officials and just kept on playing as we were close in title contention."
So Park's ball moved on the first green, and Park either didn't notice or didn't realize it was a penalty. It might be the latter, because a Korea Times article states that Park "didn't think she had started an address." When the wind causes a ball on the putting green to move, a penalty applies only if the player is at address; once at address, the player is deemed to have caused the ball to move. And when the ball moves after address, the ball must be replaced to its original position.
At the end of the round, once the first-hole incident was reported to tournament officials, those officials determined that Park's ball did move, that she was at address, and that she failed to replace the ball. She thus incurred the general penalty for breach of Rule 18, two strokes.
And that 2-stroke penalty knocked Park from winner to runner-up. Post-Round Penalty Changes Outcome of JLPGA Tourney originally appeared on About.com Golf on Monday, March 15th, 2010 at 10:55:13.
When Inbee Park, the 2008 U.S. Women's Open champion, holed out on the final green of the Japan LPGA's Yokohama Tire PRGR Ladies Cup on Sunday, she thought she had a round of 64 and a one-stroke victory."What happened on the first green was that a volunteer saw (Park's) ball move and saw her take a putt without replacing it, but (Wei and the thir member of the group) weren't watching.
This Week: Transitions Championship
A South African won last week - Ernie Els at the WGC CA Championship - and a South African is the defending champion at the Transitions. That would be Retief Goosen, who in 2009 became the second double-winner at the Transitions.
The strong field includes Luke Donald, Rickie Fowler, Jim Furyk, Sergio Garcia, Ryo Ishikawa, Geoff Ogilvy, Ian Poulter, Vijay Singh and Steve Stricker. John Daly and David Duval are also in the field.

The PGA Tour's Puerto Rico Open is finishing up today after weather delays last week, but it's also the start of a new tournament week. The Tour heads to the Tampa, Fla., area this week for the Transitions Championship.
Ernie Els Back Among the Winning
On Sunday, Els took the trophy at the WGC CA Championship, closing with a 66 and beating runner-up Charl Schwartzel by four strokes. Els looked very happy and very relieved after the final putt dropped, and you can bet "the powers that be" in the world of golf are quite happy, too: Tiger Woods isn't playing, Phil Mickelson isn't contending. The PGA Tour has seen some great young golfers in the mix this year, and even winning. But a resurgence by the Big Easy is always going to bring more fans to the game.
But is it a resurgence, or just a blip on the radar screen? Stories have abounded over the past six months of Els' rededication to the game: He's cutting back his travel schedule, he's ramping up his practice schedule. That work has paid off, and here's hoping Els keeps at it.
For Ernie, the CA Championship victory was his second in this event. He's only the second multiple winner, the first being Woods (who has won the tournament six times). It's also career PGA Tour win No. 17 for the Big Easy, tying him with Curtis Strange, Jug McSpaden and Bobby Cruickshank on the list of all-time wins.
Here's a big pat on the back for the Big Easy. Welcome back to the winner's circle, hope to see you there again soon.
Ernie Els Back Among the Winning originally appeared on About.com Golf on Sunday, March 14th, 2010 at 18:35:14.
Ernie Els has won a lot of tournaments, and won them around the world. But he hadn't won anywhere or anything since the 2008 Honda Classic. Until Sunday.

Today's Woods Rumor: Ari Fleischer?
The Palmer tournament is where Woods came back last year following a long layoff after knee surgery.
The Post article does contain something new, however: According to the paper, Woods has hired Ari Fleischer to help with his media and PR strategy. Fleischer is the former press secretary for President George W. Bush. Since leaving the Bush White House, Fleischer has launched a PR firm, and runs Ari Fleischer Sports Communications as, the Post reports, "a joint venture with IMG Sports & Entertainment." Woods is represented by IMG.
According to various reports, Fleischer's shop has worked with baseball commissioner Bud Selig, former baseball slugger Mark McGwire, and the Bowl Championship Series. Hmm. That doesn't exactly give me confidence in Fleischer's abilities to rehabilitate his clients' images. Selig, McGwire and the BCS are just as unpopular today as ever.
But is Woods really unpopular now? No doubt he has fewer fans than before; he's fodder for late-night comedians, and many golf media members feel used now that they know his public persona - which the golf media relentlessly hyped - was a sham. But my sense, based on comments left here on About.com and in emails I've received from readers, along with voting in various polls, is that Tiger's reception from fans upon his return will be much friendlier than many in the media expect.
Tiger might be hugely unpopular with the golf media right now, but most golf fans seem to believe - again, this is just my sense based on feedback of About.com readers - that Woods' transgressions were of a personal, private nature, and have nothing to do with appreciation of his golf talents.
Maybe Fleischer can help Woods strategize about dealing with the media. I don't think Woods will need any help in dealing with golf fans. He won't be as popular as he was before, but he'll be welcomed back by most fans.
Update: The Associated Press now has a couple unnamed sources, too, sources that contradict the Post's sources. The AP says Woods will likely return at The Masters, but will not before that. Today's Woods Rumor: Ari Fleischer? originally appeared on About.com Golf on Thursday, March 11th, 2010 at 15:40:55.
The New York Post reported today that unnamed sources tell the paper Tiger Woods is going to play the Arnold Palmer Invitational in two weeks. (See update at bottom of post.) In the land of unnamed sources, that rumor is nothing new. The most oft-repeated rumor of Woods' return has pointed to the Tavistock Cup a few days prior to the Palmer. Woods can play the Tavistock, then the Palmer, and satisfy both rumors: Tavistock becomes the site of his return; the Palmer becomes the site of his return to the PGA Tour.
