Victoria still wants Woods to play in Melbourne in 2010
Melbourne:Australian golf officials are hoping to tempt Tiger Woods to return to Melbourne next year, despite his
decision to take indefinite retirement from professional golf. According to The Age, Woods' decision to take a break from the game to repair his personal life
has prompted concern of a massive economic backlash for the sport. It sparked
emotional outbursts from fellow players, including John Daly, in Queensland for
the Australian PGA Championships, who urged Woods to sort out his personal problems
and return to the sport. Woods first played golf at the age of two, won six junior
world championships, three junior amateur championships and was US amateur champion
three times in succession before turning professional in 1997. Since then, he
has won 15 world titles.
