Tiger Woods Returning to Golf This Spring?
Tiger Woods plans on returning to the PGA Tour this Spring, according to a vague report today on Radar Online. Gee, thanks! Tell us something we don't know!
Obviously, the world's #1 golfer, despite his announced indefinite hiatus from the sport, is going to be back hitting the links at some point in the near future.
He's not a criminal, nor is he incapable of ruling the golf world. In fact, we expect he will return doubly motivated to dominate. The only question is when.
If recent reports that Woods is in rehab for sexual addiction are true - and all indications are that he is - we suspect he'll be out of there within 90 days.
After that, he can make the case to the public that his life is back on track, his marriage to Elin Nordegren has been salvaged (presumably), and that he deserves a second chance. Then he will return and kick ass. Crisis Management 101.
Radar suggests Tiger is in a six-week program at the clinic, which is directed by Dr. Patrick Carnes, a pioneer of treatment for sexually compulsive behavior.
If that's true, he'll be ready to go by March, potentially, with the prestiguous Masters tournament looming on April 5. Our guess is that he will be there.
Tiger is not publicly revealing his plan to return to golf, but sources say he believes going through rehab will help him convince everyone - Elin Nordegren, fans, and corporate sponsors - that he has changed and can begin anew.
What do you think? Are you ready to see Tiger compete again? Or does he need even more time off to repair his personal life before returning to golf?
More details to follow as the story develops ...

No doubt about it ... Tiger is a great golfer. Morals and values ... maybe not so much. These last couple of tournaments, it's been a treat seeing all other good golfers (who are usually overlooked) getting airtime. They're pros whose quality of play creates excitement without the pouting or temper tantrums. Tiger, take all the time you need to sort out your issues ... this golf fan doesn't mind watching tournaments without you. Go Mike and Steve!

Why is everybody dumping on TIGER ! What has he done to you. We all have issues in life and He'll look in the mirror like you and I so..... he sees in himself and Man who understands his faults like any other person. To many people need to put more effort in there own marriage, then worry what tigers doing. We all need to forgive !

I find it very interesting that everyone is so quick to call Tiger all these horrible things because he an affair. What he did is not right but it's his own personal issue not ours and one he will have to face. I just heard that Edwards who ran to be the President of the USA fathered a child outside of wedlock. That is someone who ran for the position of being the most powerful man in the world and no one really raised an eyebrow. How come when a golfer does something wrong he is treated like a criminal. Most of the people that run your country have had affairs with people and they have used their power over that person to have their way.
Leave the guy alone, let him face his personal issues with the same respect you would want if you were in his position.

i wish he will be back soon and that he will become a renewed man ready to do all means to win the wife back. As to Elin, I wish and pray that she will also forgive him and also for the kids and to not waste the love they have for years now which at the moment is in hurt and pain.
If we look at the comment of tiger, if the jamie grubbs call is true, he is concerned of Elin finding out his "stuff", mean plays when they can, but I just hope that these pains, the distance from kids and Elin made him realize what is more important.

Repent Tiger or ye been doomed to eternal flames. Give up ye hos and wenches. Yes, it will be hard, but worth it to save ye self from being doomed forever.

Of course Tiger will return to golf soon... Last awhile when he said he would take an indefinite leave from golf, the tabloid/media took a magnifying glass at his private life in term os what's his next... So why not end that leave and if the tabloid/media wants to probe at anything, to see him in the golf course.

Hey Jeff his wife is not a whore stupid idiot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's more classy than him that's for sure. She's educated, coming from a wealthy family and isn't looking for fame or fortune.
Furthermore she's the mother of his children.
Jeff maybe you must be as stupid as Tiger ; stop making excuses for this jerk. He does deserve everything that's coming to him because he acted like a dirty pig.
Shame on you for defending this truly distusting 'human being'.

I think it will be better for Tiger to play golf (something within his control more)... Life still have to move on with or without marriage in so far he has tried his best to remedy the marriage and attending therapy.... I think he found it gave him more headache in announcing indefinite break from golf, so might as well as continued his life as usual.

If he's truly sorry, he will be forgiven and redeem himself. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance. He just needs to get rid of that whore he married and find himself a real woman.
