This past week marks so many things, for many of us it is the weekend where we begin our golf season or at least start putting on the carpet as we watch Saturday and Final Round coverage at the Masters. For the Tour, it’s the start of the Majors season and six straight months of world class golf with a major in each month thru August, if you count the TPC and perhaps for Tiger/Phil this is the beginning of a rivalry, a real beginning.
Tiger Woods announced Thursday, on his website that he will be returning to competition at the Accenture Match Play in Tuscon, AZ on Feb.25th. This announcement comes just days after Steve Williams (Tiger's Caddie) and Mark O'Mera hinted that he would be back very soon. He remaining number one in the OWGR is scheduled to face-off against on Wednesday 1 PM.
This is definately a good move for Tiger, to start with the match play, a one on one scenario that will build confidence and minmize exposure were he to have a bit of rust coming out of the gate. This event will allow him to test that newly reconstructed left kneeas he moves through the ball, in competition. As he and many otehrs have assured everybody, he is ready and his return to the Tour is welcomed.

Golf is one of the unique sports where every player can have a nuance to his/her swing that will not greatly impact or affect their performance. In other sports such as basketball, baseball, and many others the wrong technique translates to poor performance. In golf so long as your swing is on plane and square through the impact zone the results will be similar across the board, now granted, the trajectory will not be the same, nor will club head speed and ball control but essentially the ball will go in the same direction.

Dustin Johnson escapes with a win at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-am, his second PGA tour Victory making he and AK the only players under 25 with 2+ wins. He did not have to face either of the final rounds formidable foes - the PGA tour competition and the gnarly weather crashing into the Monterrey coastline.

This week marked the unofficial beginning of the 2009 PGA Tour season, while the field was limited to 2008 tournament winners (33 players), the frontrunners picked up where they left off last year and did not disappoint, AK (Anthony Kim), 2 Time '08 winner and Ryder Cup phenom came within 7
inches of holing out his second shot on the Par five 18th on Sunday,
from 273 after a 381 yd. drive and eventual winner Geoff Ogilvy
squandered his lead early with 4 bogeys thru the first eight holes, on
the ninth he turned it around with a clutch 20 footer for eagle that
sparked a -5, 32 coming in.
As the PGA Tour begins its final major of the 2008 season the FedEx Cup and Ryder Cup leader boards are surprising, to say the least at the top of the FedEx Cup Points sits Kenny Perry one of the games best drivers of the golf ball while being one of the streakiest putters around. His decision to play in events which play to his strengths have certainly paid off despite the double points and bonus points awarded for the Ryder and FedEx Cup's, respectively. Perry, now with three wins is a lock for Ryder Cup next month being contested in his home State of Kentucky.
