I'm with Golfdad. Nothing until 2011. 5 points.

[Where's the Cart Girl?]

Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial Fort Worth, Texas

2 points.

I just think The Master's is too early for him to adequately prep. I think Bay Hill actually as a choice, but I think alot of people will say that, so I'll go with him coming back in prep for the US Open. I would've gone with The Player's, but I'm not sure how close to "the 5th major" he perceives that to be, so he may not want to come back to that either. And I don't think he like TPC Sawgrass either; just my opinion.

You still have to name a tournament.

I'll bet 5 points on him returning for the 2011 Master's Tournament.

[Acropo]

I'd suggest the

Security and access will be tight, too.

[Leftygolfer]

I will put two on the masters.

[Jay-Bird]

2 points on the Mayakoba Golf Classic - it's in Playa del Carmen, Mexico - plenty of p•••y down there.

3 points on Bay Hill. Would have bet on the match play event had Accenture not dropped him like a bad habit.

I dont think Tiger will make a return at the Masters or Bay Hill, because im sure he doesnt want to put those folks through the hassle of his return. So Ill go 5 pts on the Match Play championship. Its in Mexico next year (i think) so i dont think the media down there will be as severe. If his game is rusty, he'll get bounced early and then it will be over.

If he plays at all next season...

At one time I could see reputation points on the left side of page under your name. Where are they now? I have no idea if I even have any.

can always use an outlier,,,

you guys are insane... Tiger can't stop playing competitive golf for that long... at most half a year, and I'm betting on sooner than that.

3 points on Bay Hill. Would have bet on the match play event had Accenture not dropped him like a bad habit.

yeah... same boat here, match play was the choice until Accenture dropped him. I'm guessing he won't return for the Masters because it would be too distracting, and he'll want to get it out of the way.

I'm torn between Doral and Bay Hill, but I'll go with Doral for 3 points.

Since "TigerGate" has snowballed so much in the past few weeks, I'm coming up with this theory...hear me out.

Billy Payne will not so gently coerce Tiger into sitting out the Masters. Since I can't see him playing in a Major right out the gate and for the purposes of this discussion, I'm considering the Players' a major, I'm going with this....

3 pts for Charlotte (different but not too outrageous from the other posters)

Put me down for two points on the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

1. There will be much pressure from Nike and other sponsors, etc for him to play.
2. Arnie has long supported Tiger (Arnie took Tiger out for dinner while he was still at Stanford)
3. Tiger just can't stay away from competitive golf for too long
4. Close to his Orlando home.
5. Tiger is the defending champion.

[Leftygolfer]

I will stick with my original prediction. I will probably be wrong because I really doubt tiger cares about anything but his family right now. I think it is funny how the media is talking about the endorsement factor and how much money this will cost him. I really don't think he cares about money anymore. He is a billionaire, owns a G550 (it is a jet), and his wealth will support every generation of his family even if he never made a dollar. I really doubt we will see him this year and I doubt his return will be influenced by any of his sponsors.

[mcfc_nick]

if i have any rep points ill put 3 on Bay Hill

[Three Putt]

You guys are nuts if you don't think it's the Masters. Perfect setup and very well behaved crowds. Jack's record is all that is important to TW (maybe the only thing..congrats Eldrick), if he gets 18, he will just play majors until he is uncompetitive at age 50. If he catches Jack he will pad it. Guy seems like a prick, so get used to the fact the the greatest golfer of all time is a d bag.

[DBeane]

I'll put one on the WGC match play event, him and Elin will really tired of looking at each other by then.

[Chas]

If she does (as she should), then I'm hoping to see him down here at his favorite tournament, Torrey Pines. Might as well get the worst of it over with sooner rather than later. Show us how TOUGH you are Tiger. Don't be a such a blasted wimp.

Besides, how long can he lounge around on that stupid great yacht of his? And hitting thousands of golf balls into the briney to calm the nerves is bad bad bad for the e-n-v-i-r-o-n-m-e-n-t.

So will I see you on the 11th tee Mr. Woods? (followed by the 13th green). I'm looking forward to it. Maybe you'll hit another double-breaking 40 ft eagle putt like I watched you do once in the Good Old Days.

Put me down for 1 point on TP. If she bails noone is going to hold him to the terms of his resolution anyway (better husband etc). But it's academic since I'm prolly in negative territory for being so mean to our Hostage to Fortune ..... ..

Bay Hill - 3 pts
