Tiger Woods has yet to reveal when he plans to return to action following ankle surgery, but he will still be the centre of attention at the World Wide Technology Championship.<\/p>\n

Woods has been on site at El Cardonal in Mexico ahead of this week\u2019s PGA Tour event, the first to be staged on a course designed by the 15-time major winner.<\/p>\n

And world number 66 Keith Mitchell is among the players keen to judge if Woods is as talented with a pencil and paper as he is with a golf club.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all know we can judge him on his golf, one of the best, if not the best ever, to play golf,\u201d Mitchell said. \u201cSo we\u2019re going to see if his golf course architecture can hold up as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe back nine I played today, there\u2019s a lot of options. I know Tiger likes options.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt gives you a lot to think about going into greens, whether you want to use the slope or go straight at the hole, whether you want to play conservative and have an easy up and down or try to push it to the back of a green or to a tough flag and try to make birdie.<\/p>\n

\u201cA couple of par fives, the back of the greens are serious trouble.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have a good number you can maybe hit it to the back flag and get a chance for eagle, but if not you\u2019ve got to play conservative and try to get up and down from the front of the green, so it adds a lot of risk-reward.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Maverick McNealy, who will contest his first event since June due to a shoulder injury, added: \u201cMy first impression is that it\u2019s not very tight off the tee, it\u2019s very wide, but if you miss it\u2019s a severe penalty.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t need to murder the ball. Playing it 290 (yards) off the tee, 300 off the tee is going to be just fine. And then you really have to think about where you leave the ball into the greens. There\u2019s one side that\u2019s obviously not OK.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou kind of see a lot of parallels between the way Tiger plays golf and the way he designed this golf course.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to think about it, play smart. Quintessential second-shot golf course and no short-siding.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
