From manufacturers to golf courses, to the media everyone is taking a big hit. The PGA Tour will especially feel the absence of this once, iconic player.
The blame is not necessarily Tiger’s. The real blame falls on the shoulders of everyone that had a feeding frenzy on Tiger. They promoted him like he was not just a super-star but a supernatural being. They idolized and adored him. When it turned out that Tiger was, ah! let’s say, an abnormal kind’a guy, the roof fell in. So, in the end, who’s fault was it? I think it’s time to look in the mirror !

The woman wanted me to renew my subscription to the magazine for 2 years at an “incredible savings.” I said I was not interested but she persisted. When I finally asked her if she “understood English,” she hung up on me.
I immediately called GOLF MAGAZINE to complain. I was told by the employee that GOLF MAGAZINE does not do telemarketing and solicits new subscriptions by mail only. She then said that their offices had already received at least 5 similar complaints. I immediately reported the incident to the police.
As it turned out, they were obviously after my credit card number which they did not get.

Some imply that he may be waiting for his serious facial injuries to heal. I contend that this is another example of how Woods was just a lot of “puff” before the scandal broke, and now when the time has come to show some real courage by facing his fans and the public, he’s decided to take the easy way out; the cop-out.
Besides the damage inflicted on his family and his marriage, the game of golf, his sponsors, his fans and the general public, Woods has truly given people everywhere, a reason to doubt their sports heroes. What a pity and a shame !
