Hogan showed the best can achieve greatness after absence

From The New York Times Magazine: If Tiger Woods wins the Masters in his return to professional golf, he will have matched a feat seen just once before. To return from such a long layoff and win a major championship would prove that Woods actually can turn his game on and off at will. Both Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer said they could not imagine being away from the tour for so long and winning a major. But one golf great has done so before. Ben Hogan won the 1951 Masters after nine months away from competitive golf. Hogan's feat...

Wie still striving with 'gruesome' workload

From NY Times: Michelle Wie's career is still driven toward golf, but it has diversified of late. In the past year, Wie has stepped outside the lines of her paint-by-numbers life, pushing her limits and pursuing other interests. She prepared for her second full season on the L.P.G.A. Tour by cramming 20 units into her winter quarter at Stanford. Wie cheerfully described the workload as "pretty gruesome, actually" but necessary if she is to take off the spring quarter to play golf and graduate as planned in 2012, with a communications degree.

Aging Couples to be in contention at Masters

From USA Today Fred Couples is looking to make another run . No matter what he says, Couples isn't done on the PGA Tour. He's a past champion at the Shell Houston Open and was T14 at the Northern Trust Open at Riviera and T37 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale earlier this year. Next week, the 1992 Masters champion will play at Augusta National, one of his favorite golf courses in the world. If on form, and if his back is not acting up, Couples could certainly contend in the first major of the season. Read...

Is Woods's return bad for the PGA Tour?

From The Wall Street Journal: Tiger Woods is golf's moneymaker. The PGA Tour, CBS, Augusta National, everyone associated with the Masters is breathing a huge sigh of relief that Woods is returning for the year's first major. But Woods's return may be the worst possible thing for the PGA Tour in the long run. Certainly, hundreds of golfers can thank Tiger for driving up purses and making sure that even the relatively mediocre are living quite comfortably. But Woods's dominance is a clear sign of the superstar effect which causes opponents to concede, rather than rise to the occasion when...

Tiger's foundation still flourishing

From ESPN.com: There are still a fw people and companies standing in support of Tiger Woods. The sponsors of his foundation haven't jumped ship, even as some such as AT&T and Accenture have severed ties with Woods himself. And if the foundation folks hired by Tiger thought his transgressions embarrassing, they're not letting on. As if reading from the same talking points, they profess to be so consumed by their work -- most specifically the daily operation of the Tiger Woods Learning Center here in Southern California -- that they pay no mind to the salacious accounts of his female...
