As if the newly released photos of Tiger Woods’ new son, Charlie Axel weren’t enough to keep the tongues of duffers around the world wagging, news is that everyone’s favorite swinger (of golf clubs, that is) may be ready for his return to competition.

According to Steve Williams, Tiger Woods’ caddie, Tiger is “a few weeks” away from a return to the PGA Tour and could decide within days where that return will take place.

 

“He’s probably 95 percent of the way there. He was waiting for the birth of his second child which just came last week so he’s ready to go. He just needs a little bit more walking. He hasn’t been able to walk too well,” he added.

“Anytime in the next few weeks he’s going to tee it up. He definitely wants to play a couple of tournaments before Augusta so any day now he’s going to make a decision when he’s going to play.”

This is obviously great news to golf fans. Woods has not played since having surgery on his left knee a week after winning the U.S. Open last June.

Serena’s Sweet Payoff

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

images-13Serena Williams reached two milestones with her win over Russia’s Elena Dementieva in the semifinals of the Australian Open. The first, and most obvious, a chance at her 10th Grand Slam title. The second is that Serena has surpassed retired golfer, Annika Sorenstam, as the leader in career prize money earned in women’s professional sports.

At her retirement Sorenstam had raked in an earnings total of $22,573,192. Serena has now earned $22,725,475 in her 14-year career. On reaching this achievement, Williams had this to say,

“It’s amazing how much women’s tennis has grown since I joined the Tour fourteen years ago. I am very proud to have reached this milestone for me, my family and all women athletes out there. This achievement really shows that if you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything.”
