Tiger Woods ready for comeback today!

Tiger Woods said he feels fitter than ever ahead of this week’s WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona. The 14-time major winner has been out for eight months after reconstructive surgery on the knee. Tiger Woods said, “I didn’t think it would feel this good, I have not known what it is like to feel this way before, so healthy, solid and secure, I am doing the same things I have always been trying to do but now I have got a leg I can do it on.”

Woods fit and ready for comeback

The tournament, will start on Wednesday, will be Tiger Woods first since winning the US Open at Torrey Pines last June. The thirty-three year old ended his 2008 campaign after revealing he had played with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and a double stress fracture of the tibia below it. But Tiger Woods has been back practising at full power in Arizona and said the signs are looking good.

“The strength in both legs feels a lot stronger than it has ever been with stability I have not had in years. Basically practise went really well, I felt really good to be back in a competitive environment.” he said.

Woods will face Australian Brendan Jones in the first round on Wednesday, and the world number one will be wary as he has lost to Australians three times in this tournament.

Peter O’Malley beat Tiger Woods in the first round in 2002 and Nick O’Hern got the better of him in the second and third rounds in 2005 and in 2007.
