bullet Tiger Woods's rumoured golf comeback dismissed by Kiwi caddie corner

New York, Feb 8: Rumours of American golfer Tiger Woods' imminent return to competition at the Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona from February 17 has been emphatically denied by his Kiwi caddie Steve Williams.

"The stories stating Tiger will return at the matchplay have no truth to them," The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Williams, as saying.

Certain media reports had earlier suggested that Woods was set to stun the world by returning to the Dove Mountain course where he made his comeback from knee surgery last year.

The 9.54 million dollar event was won by Melbourne's Geoff Ogilvy last year and is one of the most prestigious titles outside the major championships.

It is also a favourite event for Woods, who has won it in 2003, 2004 and 2008.

Every minute of every day our news editors canvass the issues, and stories making the news to provide our readers with a broad and in-depth coverage of what's happening in the world.

Our first priority is the state. We specialise in Arizona news. From Tucson to Phoenix, we're on the lookout day and night to keep track of issues making the news. We also strive to keep abreast of national news.

Breaking stories out of the continental United States usually break first on the Arizona Herald. Neighbouring states and key cities too often feature on our news pages.

We also provide a whole lot of other content you'd expect from any newspaper including international sports coverage and local Arizona weather forecasts.

We also provide readers with an opportunity to engage in newsmaking by voting on major stories in the news, and following how other readers are viewing the issues. Our news polls are regularly updated, and attract thousands of voters over each week they're conducted.

Our business writers too work hard to keep you abreast of what's happening in the markets, not only in the U.S. but across the globe. We work around the clock to post stories from major financial centers like Tokyo, Paris, London, and of course New York, where we have extensive coverage of the major indices, particularly the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, S&P and Russell 2000.
