Writers from around the Tribune Co. discuss Tiger Woods, who is returning to competitive golf this week at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. Check back throughout the day for more responses and weigh in with a comment of your own.

Better than last year, when he was 18-over-par for the tournament and finished 78th in the 81-player field.

Why an improvement this time?

As miserable as 2011 has been for Woods, most fans have forgotten that he almost won the Masters in April –- though his putter is no longer a magic wand in his hands.

Granted, Woods is rusty, again. But like August National, Woods is comfortable on the Firestone course -- he’s won the Bridgestone Invitational seven times -- and this week’s tournament is a small field and there’s no cut so he’ll get in four rounds.

My guess is Woods won’t embarrass himself, and that he’ll finish in the top 15.
