Tiger Woods Was Simply Happy To Be Back - Dog Leg News

About the author

Tom Edrington

Tom Edrington spent the first 10 years of his misguided youth as a sports writer for the Tampa Tribune. His career brought him face to face with many of sports greatest stars -- Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Muhammad Ali, Don Shula, countless Hall of Fame NFL stars, more PGA Tour players than he can count. In 1980 he was honored by the Golf Writers Association of America for writing the best news story that year, his coverage of Jack Nicklaus' U.S. Open victory at Baltusrol. Today, 36 years later, golf is still a great part of his life, thanks to competitive playing days and the wonderful people he has met on this fabulous journey.

    Like you say, it was great to see him out there and smiling a bit. There was a great shot on TV of the three players walking toward the green together late in the day. Looked like they were all enjoying themselves.

    To me it’s all about managing expectations, ours and his.Hopefully he won’t get ahead of himself and get overly frustrated if and when he realizes the Tiger of 2005 is gone. As competitive as he is, I suspect simply playing pain free on the Tour a certain amount of times a year may not be enough for him.
