Miller: I 'wasn't convinced' Woods was going to play
The golf world collectively rejoiced when Tiger Woods formally committed to the Safeway Open last Friday, but tournament host Johnny Miller insists that he still had his doubts - and for good reason.
Woods abruptly withdrew from the season-opening event on Monday, just days after committing to the field, delaying a comeback that will now reach at least 16 months. According to Woods, the decision had everything to do with the "vulnerable" nature of his game, and not his injured back, but Miller openly questioned the state of Woods' health during Golf Channel's opening-round telecast from Napa, Calif.
