Committed: Tiger Is Officially, Finally, Really, Actually Returning!

The PGA Tour scooped TigerWoods.com, which still hasn't reported the news.

But who cares! Tiger is back. Sure he waited until the day the eye of a category 3 Hurricane was heading toward PGA Tour headquarters, but again, who cares!

It's been a long time, as Bob Harig notes at ESPN.com:

When Woods tees off in the first round on Thursday, it will have been 417 days between official tournament rounds. Woods, who was ranked No. 1 in the world for a record 683 weeks, is now 767th. He was 257th following the Wyndham.

The return will hopefully be treated as what it should be: one baby step in a comeback that will take some time given how long Woods has been away from the spotlight and golf courses.

But it's Tiger. Nothing will be dull about next week.
