AUGUSTA - Tiger Woods could not sink clutch putts when he needed them most, his near-misses contributing to a one-under par 71 on Thursday that left him six strokes off the pace at the 75th Masters. The 14-time major champion, trying to move one notch nearer to the all-time record 18 majors won by Jack Nicklaus, said he probably should have trimmed two or three strokes off his total but his "beautiful" putts did not find the cup.
"I hit a lot of beautiful putts," Woods said. "And

AUGUSTA - Tiger Woods was gracious, smiling, on a few occasions monosyllabic and prickly, but above all positive as he discussed his bid for a fifth Masters title at Augusta National this week.

ORLANDO - Former world number one Tiger Woods is moving into a new home in Jupiter, Florida, that features a custom-built practice facility, the 14-time major champion said Monday on his website.

MARANA - Tiger Woods was the highest seed to lose on the opening day at the Accenture Match Play Championship on Wednesday. It would have been considered a shocking upset in past years but these days, not so much.
Woods looked more like a journeyman than the 14-time major champion that he is. After sinking a clutch birdie at the 18th hole to square his match with Thomas Bjorn, Woods threw it all away with a dreadful tee shot at the 19th. Bjorn's reward is a second round match

DUBAI - Tiger Woods believes he is on the right track to end his 15-month winless streak but says he needs more time before he can declare himself back to his best.

While the former world number one has shown flashes of his best since

LA JOLLA - Tiger Woods conducted a Twitter exchange for about 40 minutes Tuesday on his way to Torrey Pines ahead of his 2011 debut while golf rivals Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter tweeted some taunts. Continuing a charm offensive that began with Woods joining the social networking medium last year, Woods made the Pittsburgh Steelers his Super Bowl pick over Green Bay and even poked fun at himself.
But he never answered the challenge of Poulter to post a photo of himself to prove

LAHORE: Former prime minister and PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif has said that Pakistan would have been one of the "Asian Tigers" had his government not been toppled by Gen (r) Pervez Musharraf.

SHANGHAI: Tiger Woods will try to seize back the world number one spot when an enticing HSBC Champions tees off this week in China with a star-studded field battling it out in Asia's biggest tournament.
England's Lee Westwood knocked Woods off golf's pedestal for the first time in five years on Monday, capping the American's fall from grace that began a year ago with revelations of marital infidelities.
But the new world numbers one and two will have their hands full in
