Woods hopes to play next week at Bay Hill


Tiger Woods has a mild strain of his left Achilles and hopes to play in next week's Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Masters in early April.

"Got good news from doc tonight," Woods tweeted Monday night. "Only mild strain of left Achilles. Can resume hitting balls late in week and hopeful for next week."

Woods hit a 321-yard drive on the 12th hole Sunday in the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship at Doral Resort & Spa but then withdrew. He was 3-over par for his round and 10 shots out of the lead. Earlier in his round, he changed golf shoes after the ninth hole, winced after hitting a shot on the 10th and started noticeably limping, then winced again after hitting his approach on the 11th hole and his tee shot on the 12th.

Woods said in a statement he felt tightness in his Achilles warming up before Sunday's final round and it continued to get progressively worse.

Woods has had four surgeries on his left knee, including reconstructive surgery in 2008 after he won the U.S. Open, his last triumph in a major championship. In the third round of last year's Masters, he strained his Achilles and reinjured his left knee while hitting a shot from under the Eisenhower Tree on the 17th hole. In the next month's Players Championship, he pulled out after nine holes with injuries to his left knee and Achilles. He returned four months later.

Tiger watch.

Tiger has just taken sole first place at the PGA Championship at -5 halfway through the second round.  Phil Mickelson hasn't missed the cut yet.

The PGA is a "major" tournament.

Maybe next time, Tiger.

The Masters is only 8 months away.

Tiger Woods tops $100 million mark in career earnings on the PGA Tour

Tiger Woods' comeback bid at the Deutsche Bank Championship came up short on Monday. But don't feel too bad for the 14-time major winner.

With the $544,000 he earned from finishing solo third, Woods became the first player in PGA Tour history to eclipse the $100 million mark in career earning ...

Tiger wins at Torrey Pines for the eighth time

SAN DIEGO -- Tiger Woods is a winner again at Torrey Pines, and the only question Monday was how large his margin of victory would be.

Woods stretched his lead to eight shots in the Farmers Insurance Open before dropping four shots over the last five holes. He still managed an even-par 72 for a four-shot victory on the course where he has won more than any other in his pro career.

He won the tournament for the seventh time, one behind the record held by Sam Snead, who won the Greater Greensboro Open eight times. It was the eighth time Woods won at Torrey Pines, which includes his playoff win in the 2008 U.S Open.

This one was never close.

Woods built a six-shot lead with 11 holes to play when the final round of the fog-delayed tournament was suspended Sunday by darkness. He returned Monday -- a late morning restart -- and looked stronger than ever until the tournament dragged to a conclusion.

Having to wait on every tee and from every fairway -- or the rough, in his case -- Woods made bogey from the bunker on the 14th, hooked a tee shot on the 15th that went off the trees and into a patch of ice plant and led to double bogey, and then popped up his tee shot on the 17th on his way to another bogey.

All that affected was the score. It kept him from another big margin of victory, though the message was clear about his game long before that.

One week after he missed the cut in Abu Dhabi, he ruled at Torrey Pines.

It was his 75th career win, seven short of the Snead's all-time tour record ...

Eldrick will make 83 wins, and he'll get 19 majors, eventually; that's the nature of golf. He's got a few years left to achieve the goal, as long as the knees hold up.

Yeah, he got himself a nice little cozy.

I wonder if she'll be in Orlando this weekend?

This will be a milestone weekend for Tiger.

He's won at Bay Hill 7 times and is the odds on favorite to win this weekend.

A win would tie Sam Snead's record of winning the same tournament 8 times and move him to #1 in the world ranking.

30 of the top 50 players in the world will be in Orlando. Rory McIlroy is not one of them.

Looks like we'll have to wait until Monday. Orlando got hit by a small hurricane Sunday afternoon.
