The Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, is the locale for this year's most anticipated event in the world of golf—the return of Tiger Woods.

As the most important player on the PGA Tour, Woods' return from a back injury will be a spectacle even bigger than a few weeks ago when Martin Kaymer ran away with the U.S. Open at Pinehurst, although those who are looking for Woods to be in top form are sure to be disappointed.
