We've been waiting 2 and half months for the Tiger to speak, and our prayers have been answered. Woods is set to make his first public appearance since November on Friday at 11 A.M. at the TPC Sawgrass country club. Little has been said about Tiger on SportsOnTheReg even though it has been voted as one of the most controversial subjects in the previous decade. I usually leave Golf analysis to the creator of this site, SportsJesus, because he follows the sport closely and currently plays college golf. But I have a feeling this topic can relate to everyone.
Personally, I was a huge fan of Tiger before the incident but my opinion of him has changed dramatically. Charles Barkley was right when he said "athletes are not role models." On the field, yes, but off the field the general public has no idea what their favorite athletes are doing and its hard for us to imagine because their lives are dramatically different than the Average Joe. Tiger Woods is the single most important person to the game of golf. He started a generation of young,exciting players that not only connect with middle-aged men but also with kids. None the less, the time has come for Tiger to look ahead to the future and get back on the path of breaking Jack Nicklaus' Major records.
I encourage everyone to tune in to the press conference on Friday. If this is not enough assurance to watch and you like to gamble, I suggest you put down some money on these lines. A British bookmaker has set odds at 4-to-7 that Woods wife, Elin, will be with him. He didn't stop there, however. It offers 8-to-1 odds that Woods will announce he is getting a divorce, 12-to-1 odds that his wife is pregnant and 100-to-1 odds that he is retiring.
My money's on that one of his cocktail waitresses is pregnant. I wonder what the line on that is?
