Tiger is (and the sports world) is rejoicing on top of hills from Pebble Beach to the Old Course at St. Andrews. And for good reason.
Ever since his epic win in the US Open at Torrey Pines last June, Tiger Woods has been out of commission, while recovering from ACL surgery. And boy, did we miss him.
Once arriving on the Tour in 1997, Tiger has transcended the game in every dynamic. The power. The accuracy. The athlete. The business.
But mostly, the dominance.
Tiger Woods has made golf exciting again in the past ten years. While growing up in a golf family and as an avid golfer myself, Tiger was the first and only golfer I latched onto as a fan. He’s an idol of mine and epitomized the perfect professional athlete.
Looking at the business angle, this return means everything. In the past eight/nine months, all the tournaments have been Tiger-free.
And the tournaments don’t want to be Tiger-free.
I’m probably the millionth person to say it, but that’s just what Tiger has done for the sport.
(Maybe the other tour players are fine with Tiger’s absences for their own sake, but nobody else enjoys it. And I mean NOBODY else.)
