Will Tiger Woods play Torrey Pines/Buick Invitational?
Golf.com has a revealing look at the Buick Invitational's herculean efforts to get Tiger Woods to play this year (tournament starts Feb. 8).
We all know that Tiger loves Torrey Pines, having won there numerous times -- the last time was the last time Tiger played competitively, at last year's epic U.S. Open.
This is just further evidence of how crucial Tiger Woods is to the PGA Tour, and to their corporate sponsors. Commissioner Tim Finchem needs to realize this because he just doesn't seem to get it. As The Golf Blog has stated before, the entire PGA schedule should be revamped to maximize Tiger Woods's presence at a high majority of the tournaments. If that means some of the lower ranked players have to be shipped out to the Nationwide Tour, then so be it.
Oh, and one more thing. I don't think Tiger Woods will be playing this year at the Buick. Still too early from rehab. That's my guess.

I am being cautiously optimistic, but I think he might surprise us and play the Buick. He is already into full practice mode, we know how he loves torrey pines, and it has always been important to him to defend. Plus, another record is on the line if he wins another Buick. Its hard to say - I just hope he plays because I am going to be there!
I am optimistic because I will be at the Buick Invitational this year also Pastor Pete but......... I think it is too soon for Tiger out of rehab. He was told not to play the last time he was there and he did and cuased further damage to his knee. I hope he's there, but I also hope his kneee heals correctly and well.
I am also optimistic he will play becaase like you Pastor Pete, I will be there also. And of course I would love to see Tiger play before my eyes. But I think it is too soon for Tiger out of rehab. He was told not to play last time at Torry pines by his physician and we know how the rest of that story went. Tiger will will do what is best for the future of his career and I beleive that means it must be completely healed. If that will happen before the invitational, I will be very pleased. :)
