PHILADELPHIA - The return of Tiger Woods at the Masters after four months of voluntary exile, will create a circus atmosphere that will test their ability to work under high pressure, the players on the PGA Tour, said.
"We put everything up on the pedestal of this kind not only in golf, but she took a personal level, too," golfer Steve Stricker, Wednesday. "We must wait and see what brings golf to your return.
"It is a strong spirit and I am confident of proving the limits of the time."
Woods has not played since winning the Australian Masters in mid-November, after a sex scandal in which he admitted cheating on his wife Elin, apologizing for having sparked a media frenzy, where more a dozen women have claimed these issues.
On the eve of the Transitions Championship PGA Championship, Stricker said Woods will be under the microscope and can probably expect some negative reaction from some fans of golf.
"It will be a different feeling for him to return this time," Stricker said. "After a long and weighed on the real concern of what happens to make other people."
South African Retief Goosen is back to defend his title after stopping four transitions PGA Tour winning streak with a victory last year at Innisbrook.
Two-time winner Goosen fired a one under 70 in the final round last year was good for a one-shot victory over Charles Howell and Brett Quigley.
Other winners on the field this week, Sean O'Hair, Mark Calcavecchia, Carl Pettersson, Vijay Singh, John Huston and Kenny Perry.
Goosen said Woods's return, April 8th is good for the game, but could be opened just over the eye as well.
"I do not think it will be bad," said Goosen. "It will be good 99.9 per cent. Va s' be that one percent who will make comments and that will probably make you feel a little like the rest of us.
"You like playing the Open at SU, has comments from people who try to extinguish it and make mistakes.
"The most interesting is to see what happens when they really go and see what people will react to the situation.
"What happened was something that happened outside of golf, not golf. If it is a situation of deceit in the golf course or something, the players are different. "
American Notah Begay says that people will see a more humble, earth Woods when he returns.
"It is not a superhero or a robot," said Begay, who is a good friend of the forest and has been in contact with him throughout the test. "He did not violate laws or pass time in prison, but he is responsible. He was force fed such a degree of humility. "
Pádraig Harrington said Woods will return a profound effect on the PGA Tour.
"Obviously, it is ideal for golf that he is back, three times major champion Padraig Harrington." This shows the commitment he has with his family. If he returned before, which would give a better chance at Augusta. It was put golf first. Put your family first by not warming to Augusta, is a good return.
Champion of the British Open, Stewart Cink said on its social networking site Twitter, "Wow, I had many calls from friends who have now decided to come to the Masters this year."
