I wonder if it was Fleischer's call for Woods to come back at Augusta, or if Woods and his agent came up with that all by themselves, because according to an A.P. report, that's what he's going to do. Because that won't be too big a circus! But not nearly the circus it would have been had he come back at Bay Hill as had been speculated. And that's why he's not doing it there.

Tiger Woods is a control freak. But the guys who run Augusta National are even worse. And that's why he's starting there…allegedly. So they can run interference for him; and weed out the tabloid media and the drunks in the gallery. You can't tell me, Billy Payne and his crew will be pleased if Woods makes his comeback there without getting in front of the media and answering some questions first.

Since he's not the defending champ, you know he'll duck the media when he gets there. Just as you know he probably thinks he already took care of his media obligations with that bogus presser he threw up a few weeks back. But he didn't. Bad play, 'E'.

I'm trying to help you here, why won't you let me? Stop trying to control and manipulate the process. Stop looking for someone else to take the hit for you. Show up. Man up. Own it. And answer some questions. You may think you've done that, but you haven't. And trust me, Augusta National isn't happy about it either.
