Tiger Woods after shooting a dismal +3 for 11 holes and tied for 26th place withdrew from the Doral Cadillac Championship. He "says" it's due to a leg injury.
Could be just embarrassment over his pi$$ poor performance.
tiger lily...
Michelle Wie was excoriated for doing the same thing but now its aww poor Tiger.
It’s almost like once his image got blown, there’s nothing there. The image of who he wanted people to believe he was, was what allowed him to succeed. And, now that the world knows there’s no there there, he can’t even play golf.
I feel sort of bad for the guy. Until he builds an inner person, and I don’t know that he can, he will remain essentially a straw man. Who, once revealed, now can’t even play golf.
There’s a big lesson in there.
A reasonable conclusion.
He’s been crap since steroid testing.
You beat me to it. I was thinking exactly the same thing when I saw this story.
Correcto-mundo!
I’ve been saying that since his “rehab” after Torry Pines with the Canadian doc who was busted with HGH.
Yeah, that's right... after $25K for a degree in philosophy I'm gonna show off...
Sorry fellas, but this kind of speculation is overboard. Regardless of what any of us thinks of Tiger personally, he has nothing to prove to any of us when it comes to physical courage and “playing hurt.” Tiger gutted out the final round of the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines with a knee injury that would have crippled most men. In the process he made the injury much worse. If Tiger says he’s hurt, I’ll take him at his word.
First, that was before the world found out what little character he really possessed, Second, he was in contention at Torrey Pines.
“And, now that the world knows theres no there there, he cant even play golf.”
I can’t stand TW but he did shoot a 62 last week. Not many can equal that.
Golf is definitely a mental game. Amazing he was able to be so competent when he was juggling text messages 24/7 from his batallion of chicks. Sort of a Clintonian ability I guess.
I have to take your word for it. I know very little about golf.
Don't give him too much credit, steroid abuse was likely the cause of his stress fracture and I'm sure the narcissist was jacked up on pain killers to complete the round.
