Tiger will be making his anticipated return to the links this weekend for the U.S Open after a nine-week hiatus due to the death of his father, Earl. It’s going to be a tough weekend for Woods considering he will be celebrating his first Father’s Day without his father. However, now that Tiger has had time to relax, spend time with those close to him, and re-focus, he may come back stronger than ever.

Tiger’s father was his rock and taught him everything he needed to know about the game of golf. Tiger is a pretty built individual physically, but may be much stronger between the ears. One of his greatest qualities is his mental toughness and that is definitely going to come into play in this weekend’s U.S Open. Before and after every shot Tiger will probably be spiritually talking things over with his dad. His father has been his mentor all his life and will undoubtedly be guiding him this weekend. Tiger could have returned to play in golf tournaments much earlier but chose to sit out until he was completely ready. Will his father’s divine presence carry him to his third U.S Open victory?

Tiger will be teeing off at 1:25 pm Thursday and 7:55 am Friday.

Tiger’s back. At least, that’s what everyone said after Woods claimed his fourth Masters victory in April and then dominated the British Open field last month. But last weekend, on a long course seemingly built for his game, Tiger nearly missed the cut after opening the tournament at five-over Thursday and finished tied with Davis Love for fourth at two-under, two strokes behind Phil Mickelson.

Of course, the fact that Woods was even in contention shows just how well he played after the opening-round disaster, shooting 69-66-68 to round out the weekend. Still, while Tiger certainly appears to be the best player in the world once again, everyone waiting for the 1999-2002 Tiger Woods to reemerge could be disappointed because we may never see that version again. Instead, it may be more accurate to call Woods the greatest player of his generation rather than the greatest player of all time.
