In case you by some means overlooked the news, Tiger introduced on his Twitter account that he will be starting his season with again-to-lower back starts offevolved in Phoenix (in which he hasn't performed on the grounds that 2001) and Torrey Pines.
To say this is caused a chunk of excitement is an irony. And no longer simply in Phoenix, both.
The rumors have been circulating for more than one days and the TV parents had a lot of reactions. Tiger has performed in Dubai the previous couple of years, in which he got appearance money, and I heard some say that the "cash snatch" turned into over for Tiger. (I assume they meant he could not get the prices anymore.) Others advised that the lengthy flight changed into at odds with keeping his back healthful.
In a greater wonderful vein, GC's Notah Begay said that it become a superb signal, that possibly Tiger was beginning up his time table and trying to have some greater fun. And over on ESPN, Andy North stated he thinks it's a demonstration that Tiger is enthusiastic about getting again to the game. (Bear in thoughts that we not often see him play lower back-to-lower back weeks early within the season.)
Many of us have puzzled why Tiger hadn't played Phoenix in see you later, but the AZCentral website online (the Arizona Republic and News12 site) had a few info I failed to don't forget. They write:
[2015 Tournament Chairman Dan] Calihan added that the Phoenix Thunderbirds will should re-assess their safety features inside the Tournament Players Club of Scottsdale grounds to ensure Woods is "snug and safe."
Woods has now not played in Phoenix Open seeing that 2001. That year, a fan threw an orange onto the inexperienced at the same time as Woods was setting. In 1999, a spectator who heckled Woods turned into tackled to the ground with the aid of protection and located to be in possession of a gun.I can understand why Tiger would have been hesitant to return after all that... but then again, times do change.
Of path, Bob Harig may have uncovered the actual purpose for the selection whilst he cautioned that Tiger has Super Bowl tickets. (It's being held inside the University of Phoenix stadium this year.)
But regardless of the reason, it looks like Tiger intends to make a number of noise with his return to golfing this year. It must in reality get the 2015 season off to a active start.
