They had that press release written up last week.
We'll have to wait and see what happens when he returns to the course, which is at least 6 months away. I hope that he can return to the level of golf he has been playing for the last 3 years; I find it extremely enjoyable to watch.
Until then, we get to find out who is the BPTWAMWOTITF (Best Player To Win A Major Without Tiger In The Field). I predict it will not be Mickelson, and it will not be Sergio. Maybe Stewart Cink in the PGA...
