Tiger Woods is in Las Vegas this weekend putting on his annual “Tiger Jam” event benefitting the Tiger Woods Foundation. On Friday, Woods put on a short 30-minute clinic, perpetuating the belief that his return to the PGA Tour was imminent.
“Feels good to hit it solid again.”

Despite reports that next week’s Wells Fargo was prepping for Woods’ return, the 5 p.m. deadline for entry came and went without Woods committing the the event.
No surprise, Tiger is not in the field at Quail Hollow next week. But Jim Furyk is. And so is Rory and Phil

During a Q&A portion of the clinic, Woods was naturally asked when he would be returning to competition. With his foundation Periscoping the event, Woods responded “Dude, if I knew, I would tell you. I’m sick of being on the sidelines. I want to compete against these boys. I miss it.”

Sticking to the “no timetable” company line, Woods inclusion in the Players Championship in two weeks will be the next scrutinized possible start. He’s also registered for June’s U.S. Open at Oakmont, but there is no guarantee he will play that either.
Here are some other posts from the event’s Friday in Vegas:
