After pulling out a come from behind victory to beat Sean O’Hair at Bay Hill, Tiger Woods appears to be settling down after months of rehab. But will he be ready for a major?

We think he’ll be taking home his fifth green jacket on April 12th (we also thought the Dodgers were going to win the world series).

What do you think?

DETROIT (AP)—General Motors Corp. said Monday that it is ending its 9 year endorsement deal with Tiger Woods in order to save money for executive pocket lining.

The endorsement deal, believed to be worth upwards of $7 million a year, was set to end in 2009, but the decision, Woods’ agent Mark Steinberg assures, was “absolutely mutual.” He continues:

“It was a combination of things. Tiger was looking to gain some more time , and certainly it was an opportunity for GM to reduce its spending with everything going on.”

Tom Krisher, AP Auto Writer comments:

“U.S. automakers, the single largest category of advertisers, cut their ad spending 18 percent to $1.37 billion in the second quarter compared with the same period in 2007.”

Though the auto market is failing, expect GM to re-sign Woods at $10 million a year and throw a $6 million corporate retreat in Barbados once the Fed decides to bail out the useless automaker a la AIG.

Our Thoughts: The Tiger Woods appearance was sponsored by the PGA in an effort to remind people that professional golf still exists, which to be honest, I would rather watch than see Matt Kemp wave at three pitches and strike out one more god damn time (though I admit, he did look better on Sunday).

And a few more scenes from the game:

On September 2, 2008 Tiger Woods announced on his website that he and wife, Elin Nordegren, are just months away from having their second child. Tiger writes on his website:

“This has been a year of contrasts, I had a solid start to the season, won the U.S. Open in an exciting playoff, and then unfortunately had to shut it down after successful knee surgery. And now, I have some wonderful news to report. Sam is going to be a big sister.”

Woods and Nordegren welcomed their first daughter Sam Alexis Woods in June 2007.

“Elin is feeling great and we are both thrilled. While my injury has been disappointing and frustrating, it has allowed me to spend a lot of time watching Sam grow. I can’t begin to tell you how rewarding it is being a dad and spending time with her and Elin. The injury has been a blessing and a disappointment.”

Tiger and Elin took the simple route and named their first child Sam. So in traditional Banned In Hollywood panache, the below are the “Baby Woods: Five Official BANNED Baby Name Suggestions.”

Jessica Simpson attended the 19th Annual American Century Celebrity Golf Championship this past Saturday with her younger sister in tow. To be honest, we have no idea what happened during the tournament. We do not know who won, or if any golf was even played. We do however know that we would never have known the tournament existed had Jessica Simpson not been there.

A few weeks ago it was Kristin Cavallari on the short grass, so it’s nice to see that they are steadily making improvements – though any female breasts are better than either Phil Mickelson or John Daly’s chest.
