TigerWoods.com Confirms: Tiger Feeling A Lot Better

There are buried ledes, good ledes, bad ledes and then there was this unburied lede sentence today from TigerWoods.com:

As I announced last week, I am starting to feel a lot better.

Now, I know these online diary entries are tough to write when you're only golf is against a 3-year-old, but come on TW, I know you have more in you. Though you did say in this interview that you are feeling a "heck of a" lot better, so we do have conflicting reports to feast on here.

I have been chipping and putting at home, and recently started hitting 9 irons. That's been so nice. After all, Florida is the Sunshine State.

Florida is the Sunshine State? I thought this was the site known for breaking big (Tiger) news called TigerWoods.com?

My son Charlie and I compete in just about everything and have three-hole chipping contests. The loser has to do push-ups. My short game feels pretty sharp.

Okay, this is getting a little weird.

The big thing right now is trying to get stronger and more flexible. Sitting out as long as I did, some weakening occurred, and I have a lot of work ahead of me.

While there is no timetable on my return to competitive golf, I want to play this game at the highest level again. In order to do that, I have to get healthy.

Newsflash from the city!

I've received many nice calls and texts from my fellow PGA TOUR players and want to thank them for their support and encouragement. It's a fraternity out there, and we're all in this together.

And you're the big fraternity brother no one knew they had.

Today, I am excited to be outside Houston to host a special member day for the official opening of The Playgrounds and The Place at Bluejack National.

Now we're getting to the promotional version of a buried lede, aka the plugged...lie.

The Playgrounds is a 10-hole short course where the focus is on fun and family. The vision is to attract multi-generations to promote socializing with family and friends and introduce new players to the game. Players can practice there too, and it challenges golfers of all skill levels to learn to hit a variety of shots.

We will also celebrate the opening of The Place, just the third Nike Performance Center in the world. I'm grateful to Nike for its support.

The front nine at Bluejack National is now open, and I am very appreciative for the nice reviews. I couldn't be more proud of how it is turning out. The back nine is scheduled to open in late April.

That's all for now. As always, thanks so much for your great support. Without a doubt, I have the best fans in the world.

Take care.

I was so hoping for an update on the Ryder Cup team fishing trip aboard Privacy. You, will Andrew Loupe get the call? Or, who will be in charge of bait?

Maybe next week when there is no news to report.

Art Stricklin did report for golf.com that Tiger is hoping to go to the Masters Champions Dinner. So there is that.

Here is the Bluejack National session today aired by Golf Channel...
