Tiger Woods Returning to Golf This Spring?

Tiger Woods plans on returning to the PGA Tour this Spring, according to a vague report today on Radar Online. Gee, thanks! Tell us something we don't know!

Obviously, the world's #1 golfer, despite his announced indefinite hiatus from the sport, is going to be back hitting the links at some point in the near future.

He's not a criminal, nor is he incapable of ruling the golf world. In fact, we expect he will return doubly motivated to dominate. The only question is when.

If recent reports that Woods is in rehab for sexual addiction are true - and all indications are that he is - we suspect he'll be out of there within 90 days.

After that, he can make the case to the public that his life is back on track, his marriage to Elin Nordegren has been salvaged (presumably), and that he deserves a second chance. Then he will return and kick ass. Crisis Management 101.

Plotting His Return

Radar suggests Tiger is in a six-week program at the clinic, which is directed by Dr. Patrick Carnes, a pioneer of treatment for sexually compulsive behavior.

If that's true, he'll be ready to go by March, potentially, with the prestiguous Masters tournament looming on April 5. Our guess is that he will be there.

Tiger is not publicly revealing his plan to return to golf, but sources say he believes going through rehab will help him convince everyone - Elin Nordegren, fans, and corporate sponsors - that he has changed and can begin anew.

What do you think? Are you ready to see Tiger compete again? Or does he need even more time off to repair his personal life before returning to golf?

More details to follow as the story develops ...
