I grew up playing competitive golf and no doubt you didn't His self destruction can be explained although I won't waste it on you. To use a metaphor, he is a trained fighting dog and a stain on the sport of golf. The good news is his lack of moral compass and what he has dragged golf through has been his undoing. He will not achieve his most coveted goal at the expense of all others, to become the greatest golfer in history. For that I am grateful.
I chuckle at Woods' knee and his inability to play...Ben Hogan, who IMO is the greatest golfer in history, one year after a nearly fatal accident being hit head on by a Greyhound Bus, won the US Open at Merion. It took him hours to get ready to play a round due to all the therapy and wrapping bandages he put on his legs (which were nearly destroyed in the wreck) so he could walk his rounds. It is an amazing story.
