Barf, and I don’t need any sugar in my coffee for weeks.
Precisely. I thought to myself when he started out, here is the real deal, this guy is the all around great guy. Superstar Golfer; best to ever play the game. Course Management; genius passed on to him by his dad Earl; supermodel wife and several beautiful children together; and then it all falls apart and he becomes even more of a lowlife than you could imagine. This guy had everything but Faith in Christ, and that makes all the difference.

Truly great athletes are both.
I’ll always believe he was using PEDs to, at the very least, recover from his injury. When he could have worked with any doctor in America, he chooses a Canadian hack that busted while crossing the border with PEDs and steroids.
The PGA began testing shortly after his USOpen win at Torrey Pines. Tiger has never been the same since...and has lost much of his bulk.
You're absolutely right and Woods missed the second part.
Tiger is approaching the shark . . .
Tigers career ended the day the PGA started testing for roids.
Once a professional athlete seriously hurts themselves, regaining 100% confidence is nearly impossible. Then, should they hurt themselves again, it’s only a matter of time before the fear of injuries begins to take precedence over performing the task at hand. At that point it’s the beginning of the end. The only way Tiger could overcome this is to completely change his swing and accept his diminished power. Or, learn to play left handed. Otherwise, he will never again have the confidence required to beat the group of young fearless kids chomping at the bit to beat him.
Yeah TW reminded me of a NFL safety the way he bulked up.
And those guys most always have short careers - usually less than 10 yrs.
That would lead to ..."A black guy, a Jewish guy and a WASP walk into a bar..."
He'll need to really watch his weight from hanging out at the Waffle House and IHOP all the time.
