"Thorpey, how's it going?"

Rodney Page with a story and video on Jim Thorpe's return to the Champions Tour after a brief incarceration for tax evasion. In the video there's a funny story from Thorpe about a putting tip from Tom Watson from his press conference.

"Tuesday morning, when I drove in (to TPC Tampa Bay), I've never been that nervous at a golf course in my whole life," Thorpe said. "I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know how the pros were going to receive me. And it turns out that I got a lot of hugs, a lot of 'good to have you back,' a lot of 'we missed you.'"

Thorpe, who has won 13 times in his Champions career and earned more than $13 million, takes the blame for his tax problems. He said he trusted the wrong people and should've been more diligent with his finances.

He dumped his advisers and surrounded himself with new people, whom he calls "Team Thorpe." He continues to make payments to the government, although he did not say how much he owes.

"I apologize to everybody for the mistakes I've made," he said. "I blame no one but me. It just goes to show that sometimes in life you just make a mistake and trust the wrong people. I'm very, very happy to be back."
