An Australian newspaper has claimed that Woods’s management has been in contact with organisers of the World Golf Championship event, which will be played from Feb 17-21. The BBC say that a “reliable source” has since backed up the Australian report.

It would surprise many if Woods were to return at an Accenture-sponsored event as the company was one of the first to drop him in the aftermath of his sex scandal.

There must also be doubts about whether Woods, who never plays in a tournament he does not believe he will win, could be sufficiently prepared to return so soon.

Most people do not expect him to return before March at the earliest, though it was the Accenture Matchplay he chose to make his comeback from injury last year. He won the tournament in 2003, 2004 and 2008 and has not missed the event since 2001, when it was played in Australia.

Asian No 1 Thongchai Jaidee, of Thailand, had a bogey-free second round of 66 to claim a one-shot halfway lead at the Dubai Desert Classic yesterday.

World No 4 Lee Westwood fired a flawless 65 at Emirates Golf Club to head the chasing pack at seven under par alongside Stephen Dodd, from Wales, and Miguel Angel Jimenez, of Spain.

For those who truely want to improve.

The first point to make about this book is its age. You have to appreciate when this was written and then apply the thoeries into todays game. This book was years ahead of its time and will genuinley help you improve - if you digest and implement what is being said. I first read this book in 1986 and decided to buy it again recently as I new my game needed an overhaul. Having read through and spending a few weeks patiently practising the drills and movements I started to play some of the best golf in years.
This is not a quick fix manual, nor is it plush with lavish photos of pros and courses. Its is a an absolute gem in its simple presentation which allows you to 100% concentrate on improving your technique.
Ben Hogan was one of the greatest golfers of all time - and this book shows you exactly why.
