Tiger Woods Almost Ready to Return to Competition But Waiting for Baby No. 2
Posted on February 4th, 2009 by Hot Momma
As he continues to rehab from his ACL surgery in June 08 and two associated stress fractures to his leg, there is not an exact time table for Tiger Woods return to the PGA tour. But to celebrate the new year, Tiger has progressed to swinging his long irons and driver and playing a few practice holes.
But the big event Woods, 33, is first waiting for before making his return to competition hinges on the birth of his second child with wife Elin Nordegren.
“A lot depends on the baby, which is due pretty soon,” Woods, who admits to going “full-bore” in practice sessions, writes on his Web site. “That takes precedent over anything I do golf-wise.”
“Elin, [daughter] Sam and I are very excited for the new baby to arrive, although that’s when the real lack of sleep begins. But I must admit, I am also excited about returning to competition,” he says. “Early on, I didn’t miss golf because I enjoyed staying home with Elin and Sam and I knew I wasn’t physically able to play.”
He adds: “I’m taking it tournament to tournament. With our new addition, it’s going to be a hectic spring.”
Meanwhile, he’s also trying to squeeze in a round with Barack Obama!
The pair made tentative plans when Woods spoke at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., as part of a pre-inauguration ceremony, but set no date as both are a bit busy right now.
i bet the people in charge of marketing the pro golf want Tiger Woods to return ASAP; he seems to have a huge effect on the level of viewership
