Comeback time? Tiger works on his swing

ORLANDO — Tiger Woods is working on his golf game with coach Hank Haney this week, according to Golf Digest and the Golf Channel, but only time will tell if it means a comeback is imminent.

The world number one, who is taking an indefinite hiatus from competitive golf, could be preparing to compete at next month’s Masters.

Reports for the television network and magazine, each citing unnamed sources, say Woods is working as hard as he has at any time since news of his infidelity became public last November.

Woods has won 14 major titles, four shy of the all-time record set by Jack Nicklaus — and this year’s first three majors will be played on courses where Woods has clinched record-setting triumphs. He could play at Augusta National, where he has won the Masters four times, and then have a U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, where he captured the 2000 U.S. Open by 15 strokes, followed by a British Open at St Andrews, where he won the event in 2000 and 2005.

U.S. PGA players Charles Howell and J.B. Holmes told the Golf Channel that they have seen Woods practising his swing at Isleworth — and it looked good.

If Woods is on form, he may defend his title at the Arnold Palmer Invitational from March 25-28 as a warm-up to the Masters two weeks later.
