I'm in love with the game golf. I have been since the age of five when my mom first sat me in front of the TV with Tiger Woods winning the Masters for the second time. I was hooked. I wasn't like 'normal' kids who thought golf was long and boring. I was intrigued by it.
Tiger Woods quickly became my favorite player. I pushed aside his arrogance and rudeness to see exactly what I thought he was, a great athlete. I watched him win 14 major championships. I loved him and I couldn't get enough of him. But, that all started to change after Thanksgiving of 2009. It's a story that's been told a million times. And it doesn't need to be told again.
Ever since then, Tiger's golf game has taken nose dive. One of the best golfers of all time hasn't won a tournament since winning the 2009 US Open on a broken leg. Woods can barely make the cut, let alone finish in the top ten.
That was until recently. Woods has been making a slow climb towards the top of the golfing mountain. He finished third at the Australian Open and brought home the President's Cup home for the US last week by draining a birdie putt, despite his terrible performance the first round.
But, don't let Tiger's vast improvements fool you. Woods has been playing up and down and with every high comes a dark valley.
As much as I'd like to believe that Tiger is going to win again, I don't think it's going to happen. He's aging, hurting, and in the wrong mindset. So, I don't think it's going to happen.
Call me when Tiger wins the Master's again because right now I don't really care.
