He’s back.

Officially.

Tiger Woods stormed back on the final day of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, rallying from a 5-stroke deficit and defeating Sean O’Heir for his 66th career win.

Always one for the dramatics, Woods sank a 12-foot birdie putt as the sun was setting in Orlando, the perfect backdrop for Woods first PGA win of 2009.

The 5-stroke comeback was tied for the largest in Tiger’s professional career.

T-minus 2-weeks to The Masters…

It wasn’t pretty.

But Tiger Woods capped out his return to the golf course with a victory during the first day of  the Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona.

Woods defeated Brendan Jones 3 and 2, advancing to the Round of 32 on Thursday.

Tiger was hardly on his A-game, but he had more than enough to defeat an overmatched Jones.

He made up for his three bogeys with two eagles and three birdies, competiting in his first tournament since last year’s U.S. Open.

Only Tiger could get me to watch the first round of a golf tournament on a Wednesday afternoon.

And I’ll be right back in front of the television tomorrow afternoon when he takes on Tim Clark.

Look the hell out, PGA.

Tiger’s back.

Woods announced Thursday on his website that the golfer will return at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona.

He’s been out of action since last June after his stunning U.S. Open victory with a torn ACL and a broken leg.

Welcome back, champ.

If you wondered what Tiger Woods was doing with his extra free time, it looks like sex with the wife was on the top of the list.

Tiger, and his wife, Elin, are expecting their second child in the winter.

Woods, who is out for the rest of the 2008 season with a knee injury, is adjusting to not playing on a weekly basis.

“While my injury has been disappointing and frustrating, it has allowed me to spend a lot of time watching Sam grow. I can’t begin to tell you how rewarding it is being a dad and spending time with her and Elin.
