Have to wonder on this fine Monday, after Tiger finished 36th at the WGC event. How the media is going to make excuses. Going into the tournament I was the only person willing to say he was going to fall flat on his face. The Golf Channel had Tiger finishing in the top 10. Colin Cowherd was again singing the praises of Tiger saying he wouldn't be surprised to see Tiger contend. Because it is Tiger.
Tiger is no longer Tiger. He will go down as one of the top 2 players of all time and arguably the best of all time. It has all passed him by at a young age and his lifestyle or the outing of how he lived his life may be to much to overcome.
I thought when the announcement of the firing of Stevie Williams, was going to be the retirement of Tiger. Alas like so many other money making athletes, sounds like his debt is going to make him keep playing. With the divorce costing him in upwards of 100 million and the loss of now 6 sponsors takes its toll on the wallet.
He will play every tournament that is still willing to pay him a fee to just show up. After all that has gone on he is wiling to show up down under in a few weeks to collect his 10 million dollar fee. Now he is like anyone else and has to collect all he can to pay for his lifestyle.
Then there is this.....Adam Scott won the event this week! His caddy Stevie Williams. Gotta love the irony of that.
