Phase 2 begins for Tiger Woods (AP)

Tiger Woods might be the only one who doesn't consider his win at Bay Hill the start of a comeback. As much joy as he felt on the 18th green after finishing off a five-shot victory -- his first on the PGA Tour in 2 1/2 years -- he was all business when he fielded his first question about what kind of leap forward this might be.

GolfTube: NBC sums up Tiger Woods' last couple of years in one hole ()
Mar 26th 2012, 16:47

Sizing up the TV coverage from the Arnold Palmer Invitational ... and away we go. When Tiger Woods' final putt dropped on Saturday afternoon and he walked off the 18th green nursing a one-shot lead over Graeme McDowell, NBC knew exactly what was at stake going into Sunday's final round. After 924 days, the network was on the verge of covering one of the most highly anticipated final rounds since last year's U.S. Open, when Rory McIlroy made history at Congressional, blitzing the field by an impressive eight shot. It was historic stuff -- not just because Tiger Woods was ending a two-plus year winless drought in official events, but also because NBC had the opportunity to wrap a nice bow on the most tumultuous stretch in Woods' life. Sure, plenty of other people would talk about what the win meant for Woods after the final putt had dropped, but NBC had the opportunity to be the first -- a scary proposition when you think about it. Like an announcer trying to nail the championship-winning call, NBC's Dan Hicks and Johnny Miller had to nail the moment. Because whether they liked it or not, Woods' final hole was going to be one people would remember. So let's set the scene: Tiger coverts his par putt on the 17th and starts to walk off the green with an expressionless look on his face. Johnny Miller sizes up the magnitude of the final hole, albeit in an awkward sort of way.

New York Post kinda, sorta congratulates Tiger Woods on his win ()
Mar 26th 2012, 17:05

If you've ever had the opportunity to read the New York Post before, then you know the paper is known for its outlandish headline that usually cross the "Is this appropriate?" line on a daily basis. So it should come as no surprise that when Tiger Woods broke his two-plus year official tournament win drought on Sunday at Bay Hill, the Post decided to put Tiger on the cover. And after  covering Hydrant-gate , you just knew the paper wouldn't let sleeping dogs lie and go with the standard "Tiger's back!" headline. No sir. Instead, the Post went with "Look out, Ladies!," hinting that Woods' win was not only a turning point in his career ... but in his love life. Here we go again. It was done in jest, of course, but you just knew the New York post was going to go there. And they certainly did. Even still, it was pretty tame by their standards.

Tiger Woods now the favorite in Vegas to win the Masters ()
Mar 26th 2012, 15:03

Like Rory McIlroy's reign as the No. 1-ranked player in the world, his run as the favorite to win the Masters didn't last very long. With his win at Bay Hill, Tiger Woods was tabbed the new favorite to win at Augusta by Las Vegas Hotel and Casino Sportsbook (formerly the Las Vegas Hilton), who released updated odds on Sunday evening. Woods, a 7/1 pick to win at the start of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, moved to the front of the pack with his emphatic win and now stands as the 4/1 favorite to win the first major of the year. With the Azaleas in bloom at Augusta National and Woods officially atop Vegas' Masters odds, it feels like everything's right in the golf world. Here's a rundown of Las Vegas Hotel and Casino's top 10 to win the Masters (and a couple of interesting Tiger and Rory prop bets): RORY McILROY 5/1 TIGER WOODS 4/1 PHIL MICKELSON 10/1 LEE WESTWOOD 18/1 LUKE DONALD 15/1 ADAM SCOTT 25/1 JASON DAY 40/1 DUSTIN JOHNSON 30/1 NICK WATNEY 40/1 MARTIN KAYMER 60/1 The rest of the odds come after the jump.

Five things we learned from the Arnold Palmer Invitational ()
Mar 26th 2012, 11:32

Let's be honest, we're all incredibly busy. Nobody has time to sit down and watch four rounds of televised golf coverage -- unless, of course, you watch TV for a living, and if that's the case, please email us your number. So in an effort to condense the tournament coverage for you into a few quick hits, here are five things we learned from the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Tiger Woods still knows how to close — It's hard to believe we ever questioned whether one of the greatest closers in the history of golf could shut the door on Sunday afternoon. But given Woods' weekend struggles when he was in contention recently, it was impossible to consider him a near-lock to walk away with his seventh win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Despite the questions, Woods looked rock-solid for most of the day, shaking off an early three-putt bogey before closing out the front nine with four birdies in a seven hole stretch. That pretty much sealed the deal for Woods, who was able to coast for much of the back nine, and kept the mistakes to a minimum. He's now won 38 of 40 PGA Tour events when holding the outright lead after 54-holes. We all wondered if the struggles at Pebble and Abu Dhabi were a harbinger for Sunday's final round, but once again, Tiger proved that he's about as sure as they come when leading on Sunday. With his first officials win in more than two years under his belt, we can officially stop talking about his final round issues. It's time to give Sean Foley his due — Tiger Woods certainly deserves all the credit for Sunday's win, but swing coach Sean Foley gets a nod for the work he's put in over the last couple of years with the 14-time major winner. After being questioned for his decision to rework Woods' swing early on, it's clear, based on what we've seen over the last year, that Foley was right all along. Woods' active lower body -- which was a big part of his swing, and injury issues -- is now incredibly quiet, and for the first time in awhile, he appears to have the swing under complete control. The stinger, distance control, and trajectory are all back. Foley's all but faded into the background after getting into a verbal battle with Hank Haney last year, but it's hard not to look at his body of work and be impressed. He's certainly working wonders with three of the top players in the sport. Ernie Els now finds himself in a must-win situation — It wasn't nearly as bad as the missed four-footer on the 72nd hole at the Transitions Championship, but Ernie Els' bogey on the par-3 17th, on Sunday, now means he'll need to win in Houston to make the Masters. Needing a solo third to get inside the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking, Els stumbled down Bay Hill's closing stretch, finishing T-4 to cap another gut-wrenching week. After two weeks of mentally-taxing, near-misses, you have to wonder what he has left in the tank.
