    Eldrick had committed to play in next week's Accenture Match Play Championship. Looks like Mickelson is getting his game back after today's 8 under. The pre season is over this week.

    Perfect format for Tiger to start with. Doesn't have to worry about posting a low score, just has to control the holes and keep it close if his game flutters. Betcha he's put a premium on putting practice these last few months. Will the knee be a psychological matter for Tiger? Has he really put it through a true test?

    Tiger, I seem to remember a guy with that name. It was a long time ago. Is his caddy named Bagger? :)

    I read an article that indicated PGA television ratings have really dropped off in Tiger's absence. Certainly no surprise there and I am sure they are glad to have him back on the tour.

    Speaking of Golf....this is an old Robin Williams bit on the origins of Golf. Pretty funny...lots of Fbombs though.
