The eyes of the golf world went from Tiger Woods’ yips to his nips Tuesday when Steve Stricker went in for a playful pinch on the driving range at Augusta National, where Woods played a practice round in preparation for this week’s Masters.

Or was it a pec check, Woods’ multi-time Ryder Cup teammate testing his upper-body condition following two months of inactivity to fix his back, swing and psyche?

Either way, Woods took the purple nurp with a smile, exhibiting a relaxed demeanor throughout the day at the breast, er, best venue in the sport.

Either that or Woods mistook Stricker for a Vegas VIP hostess.
