We should not be seeing Tiger Woods in a competitive round of golf until the Masters.

That is the caution that Woods must use. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be happening. 

According to ESPN (per an Interview with ABC's Good Morning America), Woods plans on playing at Bay Hill.

Given all of the injuries that Woods has suffered throughout his career, there is no need for this. Doctors can say that he's okay to play and that's fine, but this is the time to be cautious. 

Remember, this is a guy that hasn't won a major since limping around Torrey Pines at the 2008 U.S. Open.

It was a dramatic win, but it cost Woods the rest of that season, and he's clearly not been the same golfer since. 

Last season had a similar feel to it.

After injuring himself at the Masters, Tiger played in the Players Championship, withdrew after nine holes, and we didn't see him again until August. 

So now, here we are a year later. Woods had to withdraw from a tournament, walking off of the course with an injury. Obviously, something wasn't right there.

Whether the doctor says that he's clear or not, what is the real point of coming back only two weeks later?



Woods has nothing to gain at this point. His form is clearly back, as he's now at least in outside contention in nearly every tournament he enters.

Really, the only thing that would be a dramatic setback at this point would be an injury.  

The bottom line is that this quick off of an injury, it's too easy to re-aggravate something, or to put extra pressure on other body parts to avoid ...
