bullet Tiger Woods's rumoured golf comeback dismissed by Kiwi caddie corner

New York, Feb 8: Rumours of American golfer Tiger Woods' imminent return to competition at the Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona from February 17 has been emphatically denied by his Kiwi caddie Steve Williams.

"The stories stating Tiger will return at the matchplay have no truth to them," The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Williams, as saying.

Certain media reports had earlier suggested that Woods was set to stun the world by returning to the Dove Mountain course where he made his comeback from knee surgery last year.

The 9.54 million dollar event was won by Melbourne's Geoff Ogilvy last year and is one of the most prestigious titles outside the major championships.

It is also a favourite event for Woods, who has won it in 2003, 2004 and 2008.

The Phoenix Herald is essentially a local Phoenix newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Phoenix, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.

The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.

We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.

Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.

We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Phoenix, Arizona, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Phoenix Herald.
