NASSAU, Bahamas -- Tiger Woods has gone through two back surgeries since he last played a golf tournament 15 months ago. Huarache Noir Femme . He had another back surgery that knocked him out of the Masters for the first time in 2014. He had four knee surgeries before that.None of that matters to Ernie Els when Woods returns to competition this week.Els is more curious about whats going on in his head.The talents there. Its been proven. It doesnt go away, Els said. Its what you think of yourself. Its what you think where you are. We look at this great player, but hes not seeing the same stuff in his own mind. A lot of us are like that. When youve achieved as much as he has ... its a shock to the system not to play as good as you have been. To look at other people looking at you like, `Hey, youre not the same guy, thats hard to take.Els, perhaps more than any other player, has a deep golfing connection with Woods.He was the player Woods sought out 20 years ago at Royal Lytham & St. Annes when deciding whether to turn pro. They had so many meaningful battles, and Woods almost always got the better of him. Els was runner-up to Woods seven times, the most of any player.Els designed the Albany golf course where Woods comes back from the longest layoff of his career. He plans to be in the Bahamas, and he is as eager as anyone else to see how a guy who won 79 times on the PGA Tour, including 14 majors, stacks up against a generation that grew up in awe of how Woods played golf.The Hero World Challenge is a holiday tournament with an 18-man field and no cut. Even so, it commands as much attention as any tournament this year. Woods has been a star attraction his entire career, and the appetite is even stronger after an absence that dates to Aug. 23, 2015.I cant wait to watch, either, just to see him play, Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III said. The last time I saw him play, I won. Its hard to believe its been that long. Ive seen his swing. Ive seen him on video. Hes sent me clips, and Ive heard the description of how he feels. Im excited to see him play.Youve got to start somewhere, he added. And I want to see the start.Woods already has had one false start. He signed up to play the Safeway Open, only to pull out three days later because he said he felt vulnerable. That followed a week as assistant captain at the Ryder Cup, and cramming in practice the week before with results that made him want to wait.Love won the Wyndham Championship last year in August at age 51, and it could easily have served as a model for Woods -- a power player no longer in his prime, not among the biggest hitters anymore, but with enough experience and talent to find a way to score and to win.It has to motivate him that Vijay Singh is lasting until 53, that Ernie is still competitive, that Davis is still competitive, Love said. He knows Jack Nicklaus won the Masters in 1986 playing part-time. He knows what everybody has done. I know hes working hard not to come back and be average. He wants to come back and win again.That might be expecting too much, way too soon.Woods hasnt won a tournament since his seven-shot victory in the Bridgestone Invitational in 2013, the year he won five times and was PGA Tour player of the year. He hasnt had a serious chance at winning since his tournament three years ago when it was at Sherwood Country Club. Zach Johnson holed a wedge from the drop zone to force a playoff, and won when Woods missed a 5-foot putt in the playoff.No other player has ever faced so much scrutiny, especially now.I wont be able to turn the TV on, or the radio on, or look at my phone without knowing what he shot, Jim Furyk said. The expectations are so high. ... Every pitch shot, every putt, every 3-footer, its not under public scrutiny like he has. I guess you live by the sword, die by the sword. Thats why hes Tiger Woods. Its a tough situation.Woods said his health had nothing to do with pulling out of the Safeway Open, and Els believes him. He says Woods is in better shape than some players in their 20s. Then again, he has accumulated plenty of emotional baggage over the last several years, on and off the golf course.They physical side is not an issue. Its the other side thats an issue, whatever is blocking him, Els said. But youve got to get on the horse. You cant be standing on the sidelines. Youve got to get out there. ... Hopefully, he plays well, really, for his own goodness, his own sake, his own mental sake. If he plays well, it would be great. Hell have hope and start a good schedule. If it goes the other way, hes behind the 8-ball again. Nike Juvenate Femme Noir Et Blanc . Spiller left Week 3s 27-20 loss to the New York Jets with a thigh injury, but fully practiced with the team all week and expects to be ready to go on Sunday. Nike Cortez Femme Rouge . - The Oakland Raiders re-signed offensive lineman Khalif Barnes on Friday. http://www.urhnikesolde.fr/ . At a news conference Tuesday where it was thought that the fiery Schallibaum may be shown the door after a dismal finish to the Major League Soccer season, team president Joey Saputo said no decision has been made on whether the Swiss Volcano will be back in 2014. Sixty-one years is how long Mumbai had to wait to watch its national team in action. Mumbai, having undergone a complete makeover in recent times, got ready to host a Puerto Rico side ranked 38 places higher than India.Andheri Sports Complex is the only structure of some sporting significance in all of Mumbais suburban district, an area that houses just over 9 million people, a population nearly three times that of Puerto Rico.45 minutes prior to kick off, a large chunk of the arena remains empty. Officials say the ground will hold up to 18,000 once the pending grand stand has been built. At present it just about manages two-thirds of that.FIFA officials inspected the premises last year as a potential venue for the U-17 World Cup to be held next year, and insisted that a players tunnel be built, among other things. Right next to that tunnel, filled to capacity, arrived the Yellow Brigade, fans of the I-League club, Mumbai FC.Barely touching a thousand in number, they lead the way for the rest of the arena to follow for the next couple of hours. Banners of Chettri - Pure Class, One nation, One team, One dream are suspended from the roof of the stand, and the chants are a mix of what one might expect at a Premier League game and the Wankhede cricket stadium.As the blues go marching in is impeccably timed with Indias arrival on the pitch. 5 claps, split two and three follow Lets go India and Soo-Neel-Chetri all echoed in perfect sync. The DJ then spins to his Wankhede playlist; Chak De India and Vande Mataram.15 minutes to kick-off and the stadium fills steadily. 10 minutes later, the announcer asks for the crowd to welcome the two sides - India and Potrico. Mumbais crowd are often a deadly mix of well-informed, unforgiving and opportunistically brash. Potrico becomes the theme for the next set of chants.Derby day norms apply at kick-off. Every second of Indian possession is cheered. Every Puerto Rican touch is booed.There are a few thousand seats still empty by the time referee Santosh Kumar points to the spot in thee 8th minute. Nike Presto Noir. Puerto Rico go 1-0 up. India have hardly touched the ball. The crowd decide to turn on the heat.Uncharitably, referee Kumar is the subject of the next round of chants. The words in between referee and the five claps cant be printed. By now the arena is near packed. And just about everyones joined in.Narayan Das equalizer in the 17th minute brings the roof down. The brigade celebrates but refuses to let off the referees back. 7 minutes later, he awards the softest of free kicks as Sunil Chhetri runs into Emmanuel DAndrea just outside the box. Ironic cheers greet the decision. Chettri curls it in to put India 2-1 up. The crowd claim the assist.India open up. The crowd acknowledge Chhetris every touch. India are now taking the game to their jet lagged hosts, and by the time Jeje makes it 3-1, windows and terraces of neighboring buildings have filled up, fire flares emitting yellow smoke erupt in the brigades section and the Poznan celebration - which involves the fans turning their backs to the pitch, joining arms and jumping up and down in unison is seen for the first time in Mumbai.A stupendous performance by @chetrisunil11 is recognized duly by a raucous Mumbai crowd! #INDvPUR #BackTheBlue pic.twitter.com/ysv9K05UL9- Indian Super League (@IndSuperLeague) September 3, 2016But this wasnt Dortmund or Manchester, it was Mumbai. The home of Bollywood. And so, the song In the Mumbai, all over India from the movie Shootout at Lokhandwala and Chale Chalo from Lagaan accompany the Poznan. Strange in thought, surreal in practice.Puerto Rico are to never to recover from there on. Their coach David Gulleimat admits the atmosphere was something he didnt expect. His counterpart Stephen Constantine added that Mumbais crowd made a few thousand feel like a lot more. His parting words at the conference - I hope they (Mumbai) dont have to wait another 61 years for their next one. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
