Woods said it was possible he would not make an appearance in a golf tournament before the U.S. Open in June.

He did not give specific details of his planned break, except to say he would not start playing "for a while" and the failing health of his father, Earl Woods, would have a major influence on his future program.

Darn shame. I'll offer my Prayers and best wishes for his Dad. I know how much he's meant to Tiger.

He's the best I've ever seen. But is'nt Mona smiling, at least a little. Tiger looks like he's having a rectal probe when he's playing.

Alot of folks think Phil is a phoney, but it sure looked like he and Couples were enjoying the situation Sunday at Augusta.

Yes it did. I like watching Phil play as much as I like Tiger. That left handed swing never ceases to amaze me.
