As the PGA Tour continues to putter to it's inevitably fizzy 2008 conclusion, the only thing that gives hard-core golf fans (read: fair-weather fans) optimism is that Tiger Woods will be back in eight or nine months. And last weekend, commissioner Tim Finchem got a glimpse of the now gaunt, feeble legend: PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem saw Tiger Woods for the first time since his season-ending surgery, and reported Sunday that the No. 1-ranked golfer was his usual self, except for being about 10 pounds lighter and walking with a slight limp.Thing is, Woods' current physical limitations still aren't enough to insure Phil Mickelson doesn't throw up on himself on the back nine on Sunday. I think that would require double-arm amputation and wheelchair confinement and then, maybe, Philbert might feel comfortable enough to not play not to lose.
"He lost 12 or 13 pounds after surgery, gained a few back," Finchem said. "He looks kind of thin."
Anyway, while we wait for Tiger to save Phil from himself, we have the PGA Championship to look forward to. It's four days away and I've already got a bad case of Shaun Micheel Fever!

here comes the "conspiracy": Tiger skipped his tourney and had surgery then because they steroid tested that week. Now he's lost 10 lbs because he's not "juicing"
