Video interviews, blogs, and news articles continue to exacerbate the question of where and when Tiger Woods will return.
  
Some say the Tavistock would be best because he will be in his comfort zone with O’Meara around. Others think Woods’ past success at Arnie’s Tournament would suit his return better.

Perhaps the Masters would benefit him more because the media coverage will be strict and not as much of a circus.

What about his patented club twirl? We have seen it countless times, but the most memorable for me was this past year when he was paired with Jim Furyk at the President’s Cup.

Sitting 229 yards away from the hole, ball below his feet, Tiger loaded up and hit the purest cut, four-iron to eight feet from the hole. Sure, the shot itself was incredible, but watch his reaction right after striking the ball: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkWrSE3F1o4

As one of the commentators put it after Tiger’s shot, “His game is like a Michelangelo painting.”

All of this—his dominance over his competition—is a product of his unparalleled mental game.

This is a guy who would speak in press conferences about how he wouldn’t enter a tournament unless he knew he could win. That’s not just confidence: it's pompous.

But things are different now, are they not? His image, brand-name associations, and overall character are viewed by the world from a totally new perspective.
