At this stage in his career, it’s safe to assume that Tiger Woods
is playing golf to realize his boyhood dream of eclipsing Jack Nicklaus’
record of 18 majors.
But he has to be able to walk before he can make a run
at Jack.
On Sunday, for the third time in three years, Woods
withdrew from a tournament due to injury.
The same left Achilles tendon problem that caused him to pull
out of the final round of the Cadillac Championship sidelined him for three
months last summer. More…
Shack’s Take:
I know this won’t be
popular with my girlfriend or most of the ladies but I hate what the scandal
did to Tiger’s psyche. Tiger’s personal
life (and that of all athletes) is of no concern to me. I don’t care who sleeps with who or what
someone does with their personal time, I’m not the morality police I’m a sports
fan.
Greatness in any sport
usually comes along once a generation and Tiger was one of those talents. I used to get excited to see if Tiger could
beat the field and it was fun to speculate on how many Grand Slams Tiger would
finish his career with. Karmically,
Tiger deserved his comeuppance but as a sports fan I feel I was ripped off from
the opportunity to see something special.
