Many have speculated this year's British Open could be the tournament where Tiger Woods is finally able to make his comeback in the golfing world with an overall win.

Since his off-the-green issues surrounding numerous mistresses, Woods has been all but present in golf this year.  The world’s No. 1 golfer has competed in six tournaments, and although he’s finished in the top ten twice out of those six times, he’s also missed the cut, withdrawn, and placed out of the top 40 in three of the remaining four.

His poor play coupled with his poor judgment off the field has left reporters asking him more questions about his wife, family, and alleged divorce, than they have about anything remotely applicable to his ability at playing the game of golf.

In the 2010 Masters we expected that to change.  We expected Woods to return to glory where he first made a splash in the golfing world. 

But that didn’t happen.

The golfer finished fourth, and the following two tournaments he missed the cut and withdrew, respectively. 

So, instead, we all anticipated his next big comeback to be at the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach.  The story was all set up: Woods would make his comeback both athletically and morally by outperforming everyone on the same course where years before he completed arguably the greatest finish in golfing history.

Instead, he once again finished fourth, and his following tournament at the AT&T National, Woods placed 46th.

America and golfing fans decided not to give up hope.

This week at the British Open, everybody is once more looking for Tiger Woods to make his comeback.  They are all praying for the story to write itself: Tiger Woods, the greatest golfer of all time, returns to glory on the course where he won his first open—on the course where the game started.
