Tiger Woods is coming back to golf at the Masters in August April 8th. This seems to be a great fit for Tiger commencing his comeback. The Masters is the most controlled atmosphere and gallery in golf which should dispel much of the possible heckling while Tiger is playing.
Tiger also loves playing Augusta and wants to make a big splash in his season debut. I believe we will see an intensely focused Tiger (even more so than normal), but probably a more open and accommodating Tiger as well. He has that competitive streak that Jordan and Ali possessed, but he now has to worry about his image and the only person that can salvage it is him and it will take time. Kobe repaired his image after rape allegations, but Kobe was never put on the pedestal that Tiger was.
I hope Tiger comes back and kicks tail. What he did was wrong, but he didn't kill or rape anyone. He made some very bad life decisions and has paid dearly publicly and privately. I think he was always an awkward, nerdy kid that finally made it big and rich. Then he lost himself within the fame and fortune and having Barkley and Jordan be your sponsors in those endeavors was not the best choice. It's almost like an 80's movie where an uncool kid becomes popular and turns on everything that got him to that point (see Teen Wolf 1&2).
With Tiger's determination and skill set, he may be the only person alive to take 5 months off from competitive golf, come back at a major, and win. And I hope he does it, unless Lefty is in the hunt too, haha.
