Oh, the Tiger Hype
In his article, "Friday Night Lights don't shine perspective on Sunday Golf Tournaments", Ryan Ballengee writes an entire piece about how Buzz Bissinger, author of the popular Friday Night Lights series on NBC, is wrong about Tiger being done for. Ballengee writes, the Masters didn't mark the end of Tiger!
Instead, writes Balengee, Tiger was gone long ago. Back in 2009 when YE Yang came from behind to steal the tournament from him, that's why Tiger as we knew him faltered. But, either way, to both of these sports writers, Tiger is gone.
I think it's funny hearing people write about sports... I don't want to say I'm above them, just to the side of them. During the time I have been maintaining this blog I haven't been writing about sports as if they are mystical pop-culture fantasies as these writers seem to. It's funny because I know that both of these guys are so, so, so wrong. Sometimes you've got to just stop and realize the situation. Tiger woods will win again. He'll probably beat Jack's record. Instead of the Masters disproving that, the Masters proved that Tiger still has it: shot making ability, clutch putting, an intimidation factor. All of this was just too little to late, but it happened! That's a new development for anyone watching Tiger woods. He played well.
Here's to Tiger's next big win that I think will come sooner than later. And here's to those two writers being wrong and knowing it.
Peace

Tiger Plays Well at Masters
Tiger was exciting to watch this weekend. Given how the sports broadcasters had written him off he proved them all wrong finishing tied for fourth. It was hard to see him play so well on Sunday only to come up a bit short, but encouraging to know he still has what it takes to win Major championships.
We will see if this new found confidence in his game translates to that illusive first win since the divorce. I'm happy to be a woods fan after today, but let's hope there's so so much more to come!

It's Finally Here! Masters Week.
I wish that I could get Tiger to watch this interview he gave ten years. He seems so much simpler. So focused in. Tiger is a more complex individual now.
Going into the Masters it will be very interesting to see if he can bring back any kind of game worthy of praise. It may be that he is so mixed up, so lost in a million different thoughts, that he can't conjure up the kind of focus he talked about in his very own interview that many years ago.
My time is up. Enough talking and hyping his masters tournament comeback. Starting thursday you can catch Tiger in action at one of the "big" tournaments. Exciting stuff.
