Tiger Woods To Return For 2011 Australian Masters

Tiger Woods To Return For 2011 Australian Masters - U.S. golfer Tiger Woods said on Monday he is eager to return to Australia for the 2011 Australian Masters.

At the final round of Australian Masters on Sunday, former World No.1 Woods started at 10 strokes off the lead, managed to make two eagles over the final four holes and shot 65 to match his best score of the year at Victoria Golf Club in Melbourne.

He secured a fourth-place finish at seven-under-par 277, which left him three shots behind winner Stuart Appleby of Australia.

"I'd love to come back for it and play. It's not only a top-notch tournament but it would also be great prep (for the President's Cup) for all the American players coming out as well," Woods told Australia Associated Press on Sunday night.

"Playing this type of course, getting used to the bounce, all that."

According to Bloomberg, the fourth place finish did not deter fans who followed Woods at the Victoria Golf Club in their thousand. Bloomberg reported that Woods was still the big attraction to the media around the world.

Woods's appearance fee was about three million U.S. dollars, half of which was paid for by the local state government of Victoria.

2009 Australian Masters set a new benchmark for Australian golf with record crowds and television audiences and delivered in excess of 34 million U.S. dollars to the Victorian economy.

"He's still worth every cent of investment," Bob Tuohy, a former professional player who set up Adelaide-based golf management company Tuohy Associates told Blooberg on Monday.

"You take him out and the event just wouldn't have the same appeal. Obviously the guy has had some tough times lately but he's still a very marketable asset."
