Tiring of Tiger?: Editors' Blog: Golf Digest

Tiring of Tiger?

Thursday, March 4, 2010 Comments

Your letters on Tiger are ebbing. In the North that means that the never-ending winter has overtaken Woods as your obsession. Or, perhaps you're busy reading John Daly's 456-page Tour disciplinary file, or you're working your way through that GQ cover story on Kobe Bryant (remember him?). Or, maybe you're just bored of scandal and want to talk about sand shots. If that's the case, today was a good day. Jack Nicklaus said he thought Tiger will return before the Masters, thereby not missing a major. Nicklaus says he has no inside information, but who knows; he might. In the meantime, a couple of pre-return thoughts from you on Tiger.

Golf World's March 1 cover quotes Tiger as saying, "I am deeply sorry." When he and his ilk apologize this way for their transgressions they always fail to finish such a statement with the phrase, ".....that I got caught." Seems to me that this is what they are deeply sorry for.

Greetings. I'm a big fan of your magazine. I'm also a big fan of Tiger. Like a lot of people I've feel for him and his family and what it might feel like to be him right now. Maybe it would explain this crazy dream I had about reading an issue of Golf Digest, and on the cover was an image of Tiger Woods ala the cover of Ayn Rand's book "Atlas Shrugged," but instead of Atlas holding the globe it's Tiger straining while holding a huge golf ball. Maybe that's what it feels like to be him. Ok, I'm crazy but it might make a good cover.

Forget Atlas. When it comes to Tiger, I think most of you are shrugging now.
