U.S. Open welcomes back Tiger
The 108th U.S. Open golf tournament, the second of golf’s four Majors, opens Thursday in San Diego (10 am ET, ESPN). It marks the return of Tiger Woods, the world’s No.1-ranked golfer, who’s back after missing the past two months following knee surgery. Woods is an overwhelming favorite.
NBA Final in City of Angels

MLB’s Battle of Florida
The MLB version of the Battle of Florida erupts Friday when the Florida Marlins visit the Tampa Bay Rays in inter-league play (7 pm ET). The Rays are in a fight with the Boston Red Sox for first place in the AL East, while the Marlins sit just four games back of the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East.
Now back to our regularly scheduled golf tour…
Well, at least we know what Tiger Woods wasn’t doing during his two months off recovering from arthroscopic surgery.
He wasn’t watching the Stanley Cup playoffs. When asked who he thought would win between the Red Wings and the Penguins he said, “I don’t think anybody really watches hockey anymore. I don’t really care.”
Hockey fans care. Former player and coach Mike Milbury said on national TV, “Keep your yap shut, Tiger, or I’ll send a couple wingers down there – to tidy you up a little bit, meathead.”
The hockey folks shouldn’t be upset really. Nobody really watches golf either.
Unless of course Tiger is playing…
