Breaking 90

Our long national nightmare is over!

Well, not so much, but the good news is, Eldrick “Tiger” Woods is finally coming back to the PGA tour, making his post-knee-injury debut at the Accenture Match Play Championship on February 25.

This could not have come at possibly better timing for the tour. Not only do they get to welcome Tiger back at a premier event, but they also get to do it with relatively little competition from other sports, including college basketball and Major League Baseball. Not only that, but Tiger’s return sets the stage for showdown with Padraig Harringon this April at Augusta, where the Harrington will be trying to complete the third leg of his “Paddy Slam”.

Making things even juicier is Phil Mickelson at the Northern Trust Open; if he manages to capitalize on his first round score, we could also be looking at a great Phil-Tiger showdown.
