Tiger Woods, Pga Tour | featured news

Michael Thompson won the Honda Classic last weekend for his first PGA Tour victory. The former University of Alabama golfer is known for his practice habits, "finding it in the dirt," as some golfers say. The crazy thing about his Honda Classic win is that he finished in last place in his previous outing. He shot a 78-80 at the Northern Trust Open to finish at plus-16.

A round that began with great promise for Tiger Woods ended with the world No. 2 right back where he began. After racing out to three birdies across his first eight holes, Woods was unable to pick up any more strokes the rest of the way, and his early gains were wiped out by a tough-luck double bogey at the 17th. He once again left PGA National with an even-par 70, marking just the third time in his career where Woods shot the same score for each of the first three rounds of a PGA Tour event.

After being plagued by injuries and scandal, Tiger Woods pulled away from his competition to capture his first PGA Tour win since September 2009.

So much for Tiger Woods wanting the attention to return to his golf. In a shocking meltdown Friday at the Quail Hollow Championship, Woods matched the worst nine-hole score of his PGA Tour career and wound up with a 7-over 79 to miss a cut for only the sixth time in his 14-year career.

Tiger Woods is to return to therapy after he speaks publicly for the first time about his infidelity, according to a letter from PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem that was obtained by The Associated Press.

One day after Tiger Woods said he was taking an “indefinite break” from the PGA Tour to try to repair his marriage, Gillette became the first of his major sponsors to distance itself, saying it would limit his role in its marketing.

Tiger Woods did not back down Tuesday from his criticism of a rules official after the final round of Sunday's WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and said he was not fined for his comments by the PGA Tour.

Tiger Woods isn't ready to return to the PGA Tour. But he's getting pretty close.
