Tiger Woods laughing.. Err.. Photo: Fame Pictures |
Gone were the days when the Tiger Woods was a force to reckon with, on and off the golf course.
Ancient were those times when the former ace made the opposition rethink their career paths, almost sending them to the think tank with his deadly precision of shots, a collection of hole-in-ones, birdies and eagles, hell, he was like the almighty disguised as a golfer!
Whether it's the US Open, the PGA, the Masters, you name it. He's got 14 pro titles under his belt, second only to golf legend Jack Nicklaus. And did I mention the number of times he's held on to top spot of the world rankings? Tiger would command his own fate!
The athlete has earned tremendous respect from a great multitude, he was well loved and admired, he was your ideal family man. And he couldn't hurt a fly. He was a winner in any angle.
But did you notice that I applied the past tense? Yup. Because if you were in deep sleep for a long time, you'd be shocked to see the Tiger nowadays.
Now he's setting records but we're not talking about golf. Those hole in ones yesterday still exist, but it's another sport altogether!
He would also score at will, but with the ladies. Damsels who would surface one by one, faster than you can blink an eye. And things turned ugly, with the athlete's infidelity reports spreading like an incurable desease. And despite coming clean with his public apology to estranged wife Elin Nordegren, this would eventually drag the athlete deeper into the pit.
At this point, we find our hero in a divorce scuffle with potential ex-wife Elin, who looks to rake in a hefty amount from the has-been's pockets. So isn't that like the downward trend? If it's hardly a consolation, the recent fourth place win in this year's US open
is barely noticeable.
So where's the winningest dude we used to know, on and off the greens? Will we ever see the champ again? Will he arise from the depths of slumber?
Nothing's impossible buddy. But you gotta learn to let go and say no. And you know exactly what I'm talking about!
