The Rise and Fall and Rise of Tiger Woods


As I write this post Tiger Woods is about to tee off for his second round in the Omega Dubai Classic in Dubai. In the first two rounds Tiger comes head to head with his chasing disciples, Messers Westwood and Kaymer.

After the year that was, Tiger is now, once again, rebuilding his game, as well as his life. But take nothing away from this guy. For anyone who saw the magical end to yesterdays round produced by the master himself, would agree, the cap is about to come off the bottle once again.

I am a huge Tiger Woods fan, purely and fanatically a huge supporter. What that guy has done for the game of golf over the past 15 years has been, arguably, more than the great Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, due mainly to the media saturation in different forms that we can access these days.

The incredible shots at those pivotal moments of rounds, there are simply to many to list here. Time after time, the master worked his magic as his lesser technicians looked on in utter amazement.

Some of his new found rivals herald from the class of 2009 and after, many watched Tiger on TV as they saw him wear jacket, after cheque, after jacket. Now they all aim to knock him off his perch.

Oh yes, the matter of the perch, the real No 1 will step up in 2011 and show all before him that he hasn't lost his strength or touch where it matters most, down the stretch on Sunday afternoon,

Go roar Tiger,

Mark
