Like many of the golf writers/bloggers of a certain age or generation, I have learned that Twitter is a great way to share insight, opinions and news. So, while checking my feed this morning, I came across what tends to be a rare tweet from Tiger Woods that read: “I’ve been working hard on my game, it’s game time hooah!!”

Now, what could that mean, I wondered to myself. As with everything Tiger, it had to be a calculated tweet, with everything already set into motion.

And what to my wandering eyes should appear, but Tiger’s website and a new confirmation on his schedule.

Woods will be starting his year at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines next week.

It makes sense for Tiger to start his season at Torrey, a course that he has dominated, including winning the last five times he has teed it up there.

And again, twitter comes through with an awesome tidbit of information from ESPN golf writer Jason Sobel:

Those are some pretty gaudy numbers and they’re not including his win there in 2008 over Rocco Mediate.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved the Aloha Swing and the Bob Hope is a cool tournament, blending pros and amateurs, but with Tiger and Phil both committing to the Farmers, it feels like the golf season is really starting to pick up some steam and I can’t wait.
