![in this Nov. 15, 2009, file photo, Tiger Woods from the United States, hits an approach shot during the Australian Masters golf tournament at Kingston Heath Golf Club in Melbourne, Australia. While Woods has not played since Nov. 15 in Australia, the competition has been as fierce as ever _ not against Phil Mickelson or any other player, rather the paparazzi. Some say the first picture of him, since driving his SUV into a tree outside his Florida home and setting off an explosive and incredible sex scandal, could bring as much as $100,000.
