The media is absolutely ga-ga over their idol once again. I watched Golf Central on The Tiger Network (Golf Channel) the other night and not one other player was mentioned besides their now rehabilitated hero.Today's breathless coveragecentered on the disclosure of Woods' playing partners for the first two rounds.
Nonetheless there is an actual tournament beginning tomorrow involving players other than Woods. I'll throw out a few names as possible winners. Majors winners Retief Goosen and Ernie Els have both been looking sharp this year. Padraig Harrington figures to be in the mix. I'll be rooting for Phil Mickelson, who has been erratic thus far in '10. Lee Westwood, Dustin Johnson and Jim Furyk could be contenders. Others?
