Golf Channel anchor Kelly Tilghman returned to work Thursday with an apology and an audio glitch.
Tilghman was suspended for two weeks after saying during the season-opening tournament that young challengers to Tiger Woods should "lynch him in a back alley."
She apologized to Woods, who did not play that week, and Woods has acknowledged her mistake and said the issue was over.
The end of Tilghman's suspension coincided with Woods' debut at the Buick Invitational.
