This just in from ESPN:

Tiger Woods to return next week for Quicken Loans National at Congressional

Quote:

"After a lot of therapy I have recovered well and will be supporting my foundation next week at the Quicken Loans National," Woods said in the Facebook post. "I've just started to hit full shots but it's time to take the next step. I will be a bit rusty but I want to play myself back into competitive shape. Excited for the challenge ahead.""After a lot of therapy I have recovered well and will be supporting my foundation next week at the Quicken Loans National," Woods said in the Facebook post.

YAAAASSSSSSSSSSSS

Really?????? Great news. I was definitely not expecting this.

[Gunther]

Shocking.

[dsc123]

Whoa, really didn't see this coming.

[jamo]

Woooooo! Golf is interesting again!

[3putter]

Nice!! I don't even care if he makes the cut.

Edit: I'll actually be in DC that weekend, I should go!!

[RonTheSavage]

Im excited but Im also worried that he's coming back to soon. If he's playin next week coud he have played the US Open? Is he being pressured to participate in his own event?

[Crim]

I couldn't be more happy to be soooo wrong. (I didn't think he'd be back until after the Open Championship.)

[ChrisP]

Surprised so soon but not disappointed.

It's too bad he didn't get the surgery a few weeks earlier. If so, he prolly could have played Pinehurst. But given Kaymer's performance, he likely wouldn't have won anyway.

Watching his driver swing will make me cringe

I could do arms-free push-ups right now.... ;-)

[atb5079]

I have a major golf chubby right now

Great news, hope he stays healthy, golf needs him.

Me too but I wish I had that driver swing.

[Jakester23]

Great news, hope he stays healthy, golf needs him.

Whats crazy is I didn't realize how much golf missed him until these last few majors. Ive watched more of the LPGA  US Open than the PGA US Open and its only Friday.

[David in FL]

Who? :-D

[tmac20]

If he wins next week I'm calling bullshit on the surgery. :-P
