i'm sure you have your own thoughts and opinions about tiger woods the golfer and tiger woods the husband/ father. feel free to share. for me, woods' vocations finally coalesced at yesterday's press conference (four days before he returns to "compete" in the Masters tournament in Augusta). since November, tiger has been criticized for his off-the-course legal/drug issues as well as his infidelity towards his wife, children & family. as he has pointed out so clearly, he is terribly sorry for the horrible decisions that he has made and believes that he lost his way. i believe he words are genuine. you may not. however, that's not necessarily the point. the fact of the matter is that tiger is willing to admit his heinous mistakes and rediscover those virtuous attributes that have formed him, since his childhood. my prayers go out to him and his family, because i truly hope and believe that his past sins will be forgiven (not forgotten).
many golf fans and tiger supporters are still not convinced that tiger will be the golfer of past years. frankly, how can they? he's had knee surgery, been through intensive rehab and still grieving his irresponsible & seemingly unforgivable mistakes. at the conclusion of this weekend's Masters tournament, it is highly unlikely that woods will be wearing his 5th green jacket; however, is that what viewers will be tuned into? i don't think so. each camera will be watching every swing, hole & reaction of woods. many folks, including the media, are hoping that he makes the first cut! regardless of what happens at Augusta, i am pleased to know that one of the most popular and legendary athletes in sports is willing to admit his human weaknesses and show the true colors of his fur.
