Barely two weeks ago, Tiger Woods quizzed about his Indian buddy, Arjun Atwal, first said, it was unfortunate he could not be here (in Orlando for the Hero World Challenge) and then quickly changed and said, “Fortunately, I should say, that he’s not here, because he is playing in Asia.” He added, “I have been in touch with him and his game seems to be coming around.”
