Tiger Woods' return to golf is hitting tournament-goers where it hurts most -- because ticket prices for the Masters have gone through the roof.
Four day Masters Badges -- which ordinarily go for $200 each -- were listed for resale at $1,950 on GoldenTickets.com last Friday ... even before Tiger announced he was going to play.
Yesterday ticket prices skyrocketed to $2,400.
Golf hasn't seen this much buzz since Happy Gilmore.

The golf star who blasted Tiger Woods after the scandal is speaking out again about Tiger's comeback at the Masters.
Jesper Parnevik scoffed at doubters, telling TMZ, "Nobody ever thought Tiger would miss the Masters. It was pretty expected."
Parnevik introduced Tiger to Elin Nordegren and is one of very few golfers to publicly blast Tiger for his affairs.
Parnevik added ... Tiger doesn't have to play a warm-up tournament before the Masters. He said, "if anyone can do it, he can," adding he thinks T.W. will do well.

We knew it. We've been saying it for months ... Tiger Woods just announced he will play at the Masters next month.
Woods released a statement that said: "The Masters is where I won my first major and I view this tournament with great respect. After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I'm ready to start my season at Augusta.
"The major championships have always been a special focus in my career and, as a professional, I think Augusta is where I need to be, even though it's been a while since I last played.
"I have undergone almost two months of inpatient therapy and I am continuing my treatment. Although I'm returning to competition, I still have a lot of work to do in my personal life.
"When I finally got into a position to think about competitive golf again, it became apparent to me that the Masters would be the earliest I could play."
UPDATE: Billy Payne, Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament, tells TMZ, "We support Tiger's decision to return to competitive golf beginning at this year's Masters Tournament. Additionally, we support and encourage his stated commitment to continue the significant work required to rebuild his personal and professional life."

Tiger Woods' return to golf at the Masters Tournament is causing a huge surge in fan attendance -- and the hotels surrounding the Augusta golf course can barely take the heat.
TMZ spoke to over a dozen hotels near the Augusta National Golf Club -- where the Masters is held -- and their phones have been ringing off the hook since Tiger's announcement this morning.
We're told a bunch of guests had inquired about canceling when they thought Tiger wouldn't be coming -- but have now called to confirm their reservations.
Many of the hotels in town are already sold out, and those that have rooms left are rapidly filling up ... so buy now.

Elin Nordegren was not allowed to ride in the same ambulance as Tiger Woods after his November car crash because the ambulance crew thought it was a domestic violence incident, this according to new documents released by the Florida Highway Patrol.
The document, written by an FHP trooper who responded to the scene, reads, "As the paramedics loaded [Tiger] into a Health Central Ambulance, one of the crew stated that [Tiger's] wife could not go in ambulance because this was a domestic."
The document states that the officer "never heard [Tiger] speak or [Tiger's] wife make any such statement about domestic violence."
The docs also show Elin handed over two bottles of pain pills to troopers following Tiger's November 27 crash.

Tiger Woods has still not announced when he's returning to golf -- but TMZ has learned one upcoming tournament is beginning to make several mysterious arrangements ... arrangements that have Tiger's tracks all over them.
It's all connected to the Tavistock Cup -- an exclusive golf tournament scheduled to begin on March 22nd, which pits the Lake Nona Country Club against the Isleworth Country Club ... where Tiger is a member.
The famously private event is known for allowing fans to get up close and personal with the golfers -- but sources close to the tournament tell us management for the Isleworth Country Club, this year's home course, has suddenly decided to cut down on the number of passes given to Lake Nona employees.
We're told several staff members are being told the move is being orchestrated by Tiger's camp in an effort to control who will have access to the golfer when he makes his return.
We'll see if they're right in t-minus 10 days ...

Jamie Jungers is now the queen of the Tiger Woods mistresses -- which is kinda like being the thinnest kid at fat camp -- by winning Howard Stern's Mistress Beauty Pageant.
Jungers just took home the $75,000 prize after exposing a bunch of personal information about Tiger ... like the size of the club, what he wanted from her sexually speaking, and on and on.
Jungers had stiff competition -- Jaimee Grubbs and Loredana Jolie -- but was able to take home the crown, because Howard felt she was "the true mistress."
Of course, Grubbs losing a tooth didn't help her chances. But she did get a $15,000 runner-up prize -- more than enough for a dental visit.
