Golf’s cries have been answered, Tiger is back and competitive
Decades from now, every young golfer will only be able to hear and read about the legend of Eldrick Woods, the man universally known as “Tiger.”
They will hear of his dominance: how he once won seven majors in a three-year span. They will hear of the fear he struck in opponents, how golfers regularly averaged higher scores out of pure intimidation of playing next to Tiger. They will also hear of his poise, how he won his first Masters at age 21 by a record 12 strokes, becoming the first African-American to win the tournament. If golf is lucky enough, they will also hear about his successful return to the sport after a tumultuous few years that saw the man become a shell of his former self.
