I am a casual golf fan. I'll follow the big tournaments, catch the majors on TV when I can. I always follow the the Ryder Cup, but every time I will at some point turn it on just to check the scores, and then invariably get wrapped up in the awesomeness that it usually turns in to.
I still don't know what to make of Tiger's win. I am happy for him, and happy for the sport. Despite always saying I like watching greatness, when he was in his prime I had the occasional "c'mon will someone else win this tournament please!" thought (I was heavily rooting for Rocco Mediate at the US Open in 2008. He seemed like such a cool guy, and that was probably going to be his best and last shot at winning a major, and to slay the giant in the process would have made for great drama). Anyway, I felt bad for Tiger, trying to reconcile the fact that he made some horrible decisions, that he was set up to attain unreachable heights by his family from such a young age, and that injuries took their toll on his body. I recall reading his mom said he would have more impact on the world than people like Mandela and Gandhi. That's a pretty big expection to lay on your kid. I also read he asked Derek Jeter how to approach girls due to his socially awkwardness. To which Jeter replied "You go up to them and say you are Tiger Woods." (I can't recall where I read that. I swear it was Jeter but I could be mistaken).
Anyway, good for him for getting back to the mountaintop.
