Scandal-rocked Tiger Woods making his return to golf at next month's Masters after a five-month layoff will rival the inauguration of US President Barack Obama as a television spectacle.
That's the opinion of Sean McManus, the CBS News and Sports president whose division will produce US coverage of a global ratings blockbuster from April 8-11 at Augusta National Golf Club following Woods' comeback announcement on Tuesday.
"I think the first tournament Tiger Woods plays ... will be the biggest media event other than the Obama inauguration in the past 10 or 15 years," McManus told Sports Illustrated before Woods announced his return plans.
