NEW YORK (AP) — CBS Sports’ president thinks that Tiger Woods’ return to golf will be one of the “biggest media spectacles in recent memory.”

Sean McManus told The Associated Press last week before Woods announced when he would play again that he believed only President Barack obama’s inauguration would rank higher as a media event.

CBS will get to televise the spectacle now that Woods has said he will come back at next month’s Masters. Huge numbers of viewers will undoubtedly tune in to see how Woods plays following a four-month break from golf brought on by revelations of his infidelity.

ESPN airs the first two rounds of the Masters before CBS takes over for the weekend.
