Remember in like 1st grade when your best friend got a puppy for Christmas?  You were so mad at that kid.  You wanted to sneak into his house one night, steal his puppy, and make him yours.  Then a few weeks later, your friend tells you about how much the puppy poops, eat the drywall, and won't sit.  You realize that having the puppy is not always a good thing.

Well, the Masters got a new puppy: a contrite and wounded Tiger Woods.  They picked him up from the shelter and are going to nurse him back to health on their fertile and nurturing grounds at Augusta National.

The PGA Championship and Whistling Straits are kind of jealous of that, but they want to play with the puppy, too.  So they're hopeful that Tiger will come and play their championship this year.

WBAY-TV in Green Bay, Wisconsin, did a story on Woods' potential impact were he to play in Glory's Last Shot.

Sheboygan County Administrator Adam Payne told the station that hotel reservations for the championship have been slow so far, "so Woods' return to golf - and possibly - to Whistling Straights is huge for area businesses."

Frankly, it is amazing how anyone can wonder if Tiger will play in all four majors this year now.  If he plays this first, there's no way he skips the other three, right?

But, golf fans, lock in those cheap hotel rates now before Tiger stuns the world again by announcing his intent to play the PGA Championship and then you can't negotiate on Priceline anymore.
