Tigers Woods return to golf could be at Arnold Palmer invitational
March 11, 2010
According to various media reports it looks like it looks like a Tiger Woods return to golf could happen in the near future. According to the New York Post, the most likely site for Tigers return to golf is the Arnold Palmer Invitational Golf Tournament at Bay Hill Country Club in Orlando, Tigers hometown. If this indeed true, the fan-favorite tournament could pique demand for golf tickets. The tournament is a fun one, no doubt influenced by the namesake of the tournament. If Tiger indeed does return at the event, Arnold Palmer Invitational tickets are going to be a really sough-after ticket. Not only will golf fans want to see the best golfer in the world try to reclaim his past glory, but we wouldn’t be surprised if a few members of the press are there to witness/record the Tiger Woods return to golf. In all likely hood Tiger will need to let the organizers of the tournament know if he is playing soon, as the Arnold Palmer Invitational runs from March 22 – 28. If you want to be there for the historic occasion, you should get Bay Hill Country Club tickets soon because if the reports are for real there will be a lot of people looking to get in. You might have heard that Tiger Woods has been on an indefinitely hiatus from golf since Thanksgiving in 2009 due to the surfacing of marriage infidelity with various women who were not his wife, Elin Woods, who could soon go back to being Elin Nordegren.
According to the NY Post, a source said “I would be shocked if he didn’t play the Arnold Palmer.” The course is a favorite of Tigers, and he has won the Arnold Palmer Invitational six times in his career, including four consecutive wins from 2000 to 2003. There is also some speculation that Tiger will return to golf at the Tavistock Cup, a high-profile tournament that is scheduled to take place at Isleworth on March 22-23.
Recently Jack Nicklaus has said he expects Tiger Woods to play the Masters. Each year Masters tickets are one of the hottest tickets in golf, but if Tigers Woods plays the tournament demand for tickets will be even greater. If Tiger Woods plays the Arnold Palmer Invitational, most speculators would expect him to play at the Masters. In fact some have speculated that Tiger Woods would need to take the rust off his golf game since he has not played recently. The golf tournament could be a very big deal, and it could beat US Open tickets or PGA Championship tickets in terms of a national audience.
Also in the report was news that Tiger has tapped former President George Bush’s Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, who also worked with Mark McGuire in his return to the St. Louis Cardinals as a hitting coach. Fleischer started Sports Communications in 2008 and has worked in public relations with sports stars since.
