Instant Poll: What does Tiger do in his return?

The man is not dull!

In an era when there is little mystery surrounding a athlete's approach, plans and competitive status, Tiger Woods returns with only Jesper Parnevik having seen him practicing. Little is known about what to expect from Woods, from his swing to his health and even what's in his bag. The lack of clarity could even suggests he is confident and plans to surprise us. Or he just relishes playing the role of mystery man.

In classic Woods fashion, he's not easing into this one, instead opening the week with Wednesday's pro-am pairing with Steph Curry. A pairing with Phil Mickelson awaits. No nightclub gigs for this rock star.

There are so many ways the week can go, as Ryan Lavner notes at GolfChannel.com.

You can bet Tiger's return in Vegas, reports Alex Myers. The prop bets are fun, which is good since the 40-1 win price is not exactly tempting:

-- Will Woods hit the fairway on his opening tee shot on Thursday? YES is -150 (Wager $150 to win $100); NO is +130 (Wager $100 to win $130).
-- Will Woods make the cut? YES is -130; NO is +110.
-- Will Woods finish in the Top 5? YES is +900; NO is -1600.
-- Will Woods finish in the Top 10? YES is +450; NO is -600.
-- Will Woods finish in the Top 20? YES is +225; NO is -265.

As for his performance, I voted for makes cut, showing flashes of his old self. The poll:
