  • Tiger Woods Hires Former Bush Aide Ari Fleisher

    Former White House Press Secretary Ari FleisherAri Fleisher, the former press secretary to President George W. Bush has been hired by Tiger Woods to help re-shape his image and plot a comeback to competitive golf. Since leaving the White House, Fleisher has started a company called Ari Fleisher Sports Communications to help athletes “…handle the bad news and take advantage of the good.” The company’s website states “The way the press treats athletes and sports executives has become increasingly adversarial and conflict-driven. Athletes who are trained to give it all and leave it on the field now face a public and a media that demand more.” Fleisher recently helped St. Louis Cardinals Hitting Instructor Mark McGuire with his public admission to using steroids. He also counts Major League Baseball, the NFL and the Green Bay Packers as clients, and College Football’s Bowl Championship Series has also turned to Fleisher amid a push to eliminate the BCS in favor of a playoff system.

    Woods and Fleisher reportedly have been working on how to properly handle Tiger's comeback, and the speculation is that it will happen at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando, a short drive from where he lives, on March 25. Other reports suggest that he may start with the Tavistock Cup on march 22-23 at his home course and community of Isleworth. Earlier this month, his good friend and neighbor Mark O'Meara stated that he wouldn't be surprised if Tiger returned at the Tavistock Cup, which has small and very private galleries and isn't open the the general public. Since making his public apology, there has been much speculation as to when and where Tiger Woods would return to golf. According to a source at the New York Post: “They were in his living room this week going over a strategy for how to handle Bay Hill in two weeks.” Where as Bush political adviser Karl Rove was frequently referred to as "Bush's Brain", perhaps now his former colleague Ari Fleisher will become known as Tiger's Brain?

  • Tiger Woods’ Return To Golf May Be Set

    Tiger Woods Returning to Golf at Tavistock CupThe Orlando Sentinel is reporting that Tiger Woods may return to golf at the Tavistock Cup at his home course of Isleworth. Citing a source “who works for the Woods family,” TMZ.com reports that the virtually exiled Woods is making plans to tee it up next month at the Tavistock Cup. The Tavistock Cup is a made-for-TV shootout in a Ryder Cup style format between the posh Orlando clubs of Isleworth and Lake Nona. Both private communities are home to several of the worlds top golfers, pro athletes and entertainers, among others. The competition is set for March 22-23 and the Golf Channel will broadcast it live.

    p style=”text-align: center;”> There has been much speculation about when Tiger Woods would return to professional golf, with reports of his return at the up coming Accenture World Match Play Championships being squashed by his long time caddy and close friend Steve Williams. His return for the Tavistock Cup makes perfect sense for Tiger, as the event is very private, with only a few hundred spectators and no admission for the general public. Instead, the event is attended by members and residents of the respective clubs along with a few special guests and sponsors. Tavistock CupBeing that access is very limited, the tournament organizers will surely have control of what media outlets are allowed to cover the event, and who they have access to. Given that he hasn't been seen in public since Thanksgiving of last year, the media has been frothing at the mouth for the time when Tiger would come out of his self-imposed exile and finally answer questions about his extra-marital affairs, the events of Thanksgiving night, the sex addiction clinic, etc. The limited access for the public and media and the fact that the event is being played in his back yard are two compelling reasons why Tiger Woods may indeed make his return at the Tavistock Cup. One thing's for sure, if it happens, the Golf Channel might possibly see it's biggest ratings ever. That is, until Kelly Tilghman opens her mouth.
