Is Tiger Woods "back"? Or was his win at the Memorial Tournament just another blip on the erratic radar of golf's biggest draw?

We won't know for sure for some time (i.e. until the 2012 U.S. Open at the Olympic Club in San Francisco).

Not that the Twitter machine is waiting to spew out proclamations after what was a remarkable performance by The Golfer Alternately Known as Eldrick Tont.
