Why Tiger Why? You could have had it so many times on Sunday. Tiger is the best player in the world hands down and even the best are not perfect. Maybe the years of pressure are getting to him now that he is a family man, maybe a small part of his mind is not focused on the game. I don’t know but in my opinion Tiger Woods putted himself OUT of contention in the Masters this week. On Sunday alone there was 4 short putts that he missed. With Trevor taking double bogey on the 16th and dropping to -8 that would have been enough to force a playoff. So Tiger as one of your fans I was a little disappointed that you didn’t win this week but on the other hand you are the best in the world and you have inspired so many. You have more pressure on you than any other athlete in the world. A bad day for you is finishing 2nd at the Masters for the second year in a row I would not beat yourself up over a few missed putts.

How Tiger Woods got me on the golf course.
I am a huge fan of Tiger Woods, what he has brought to golf is far more than he will ever take from the game. He opened the world’s eyes to a sport that was once saved for the rich and famous. With his style and unmatched performance in the game more and more of the younger generation tuned in to watch him play. By tuning in and seeing this magnificent game play out so many more people that never thought about playing golf would go out and try the game. A game so addictive that once you play and make a couple of good shots you are hooked.

I swore up and down I would never play golf, I however kept hearing about this Tiger Woods. People that didn’t golf would be telling me about him years ago. So I began to watch him play and it was exciting to watch (Who would have thought that golf was an exciting sport to watch?) The inevitable happened, one day I found myself out on a golf course whacking away at a little white ball with a strange looking metal stick. It was over for me right then and there, being out in the fresh air, walking through a HUGE beautiful field and swinging a club. It became my exercise, I don’t go to the gym I play golf. On the average round I walk 6+Km during a round and get loads of exercise.

I continued to play over the last 4 years and with some fantastic chip-ins a Hole in One and seeing my score lower and lower though managing my statistics I now proudly call my self a “GOLFER”. Thank you Tiger for opening the worlds eyes to the “Greatest Game on Earth”.

Well I have nothing witty or important to say today and I’m sitting here on the edge of my seat watching golf, Tiger Woods 10 holes in and down by 3 in the 3rd round. This man is the most talented athlete in the world and 3 down is nothing for him, so go Tiger go and let see you going into Sunday in the lead and keep your streak going.

I’m rooting for you to win Tiger Woods keep it going…

||UPDATE||
Well the universe must be aligned for Tiger, as he struggles against a growing number of birdies and eagles in the field being made by players getting closer to the leaders. The Miami sky opens up and heavy rains postpone play until tomorrow. Just when he needs it Tiger gets a break from play to regroup and plan his game for his Sunday Red performance at Doral. Could have been better timing on the weather if I didn’t know better you would say this athlete not only has superior control over him own mind but he can even will the rain when he needs it. (No don’t go thinking I believe that someone can will it to rain when they need it but WOW what a stoke of convenient luck)

Tiger Woods has won the Target World Challenge at the Sherwood tour course in California, donating the $1,350,000 purse to the tiger woods foundation. For not playing tournament golf since the birth of his baby girl Samantha Tiger comes back and posts a -22 with a eagle, birdie, par finish in the final round.

Detailed information on this tournament can be found at thegolfchannel.com.

Tiger Woods should be an inspiration to all golfer and non golfer alike. Such drive and focus while maintaining a heart of gold giving so much to charity and to golf he asks nothing in return.

Congratulations to you Tiger I look forward to watching your 2008 season!
