Tiger's Email Interviews Just As Free Of Insights As The Live Ones

AP's Michael Casey emailed back and forth with the Stanford captain honorary captain during game week about the 2012 season. Prepare to be bowled over as he delicately avoids revealing his schedule beyond Abu Dhabi.

"I am looking to get off to a fast start in Abu Dhabi and keep building from there," Woods said. "Now that I am healthy, I feel I can keep building my game and confidence week on week, much like I did at the end of (last) year -- from the Australian Open to the Presidents Cup to, finally, a win in California."

Hey, if this golf thing doesn't work out, he could always write press release quotes. In fact, it's hard to believe he wrote such complimentary stuff about his peers. Touching really:

"There are so many great and talented players in the game right now -- it is exciting for golf fans and I relish the challenge of going head-to-head with any number of the leading players on a Sunday afternoon," Woods said. "Rory and Luke are both very talented golfers and I admire what they have achieved in the last year. I look forward to having many great battles on a Sunday afternoon with these great players in 2012."
