Hey there, time traveller!

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Tiger Woods will play in his first tournament since the Masters next week at the Quail Hollow Championship.
Woods on Friday committed to the event formerly called the Wachovia Championship. He won the tournament in 2007, but couldn’t defend last year because he was recovering from the first of two knee surgeries.
Woods has been off since mid-April, when his final-day charge came up short at Augusta National and he finished tied for sixth. Next week’s tournament will serve as a tune-up for Woods ahead of The Players Championship a week later.
Woods’ commitment gives the Quail Hollow Championship, which begins Thursday, one of the best fields on the PGA Tour with 10 of the top 14 golfers in the world rankings.
Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Vijay Singh, defending champion Anthony Kim, Jim Furyk and Masters champion Angel Cabrera are scheduled to play.
"We are very happy to have Tiger coming back," tournament director Kym Hougham said. "The patrons and the community of Charlotte are in for a real treat this year."
Officials are hoping Woods’ appearance will prompt fans to gobble up the remaining tickets for the event, which has been impacted by the slumping economy.
