Tiger Woods Wins 1st Tourney Since September 2009


Tiger Hugs caddie, Joe LaCava, after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Sunday.

It had been 924 days since Tiger Woods hoisted a trophy in an official PGA Tour event, beating Graeme MacDowell in the process. It was great watching Tiger again in the final group, and for me personally it was especially interesting because Tiger's last victory was before I really became addicted to golf.

The Master's is in 2 weeks and oddsmakers are already making Tiger the favorite to win (a bit of an overreaction in my opinion). Still, it's great to see him back and with a little swag left in his surgically repaired knees. He's not the same Tiger of before -- and I don't know if he'll ever be -- but, boy, it'll be fun watching him try.
