Spitz signs tender, will workout today

Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Jason Spitz signed his tender yesterday and will begin workouts with the team today.

Spitz was a restricted free agent with a second-round tender.  He’s coming off of back surgery but has made a complete recovery and has no restrictions on workouts. 

Spitz is expected to compete with Daryn Colledge for the starters job at left guard.

Stricker to play a round with Tiger today

Tiger Woods, speaking after a practice round at the Masters yesterday, said he’ll play a practice round today with Madison’s Steve Stricker.  Woods played 18 holes at Augusta National with Fred Couples on Monday.

Stricker, ranked 2nd in the world, was paired with Tiger Woods at the Presidents Cup in October.  The two have become friends in recent years.
