Six weeks without Tiger Woods (right) is practically a TV ratings death knell for the PGA Tour, not to mention an endless bummer for golf fans.

So it was somewhat comforting news that Woods said his rehabiliation from knee surgery is going well and he hopes to play in the Memorial tournament early next month.

The former Cypress resident will use it as a warmup for the U.S. Open, to be played on one of his favorite courses, Torrey Pines.

By then we might be down to just major league baseball. So, please, Tiger, come back soon!
