After winning the US Open last June essentially on one leg, Tiger Woods took the rest of the PGA season off to recover from surgery on his stress fracture and torn ACL. He hasn't played a tournament since. With the sport's biggest star gone, television ratings and interest plummeted. Now the icon who brought golf into the mainstream is bringing it back from its 8-month spell of irrelevancy, announcing yesterday that he will play in next week's Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona.
But am I the only one who thinks it is more than just a coincidence that Tiger chose to make his highly anticipated return at a tournament sponsored by Accenture, seeing as how they are one of his major sponsors?
