If you watched the PGA golf at Firestone Country Club this morning you would have noticed a conspicuous abscence of game in Tiger Woods The world's number one golfer ended his final day at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational with a 77 to cap off a week in which he fired an astronomical 18 over par, the worst finish of his career. The stoic legend all golf fans have watched for years is human after all and his name is Eldrick.
Eldrick has gone through a divorce, is living in an empty home, is visiting his kids on appointment and has no one else to blame for his troubles but himself.
The drop in his performance shows his humanity. If he had continued his robotic dominance throughout his personal woes it would be harder to believe that he is not an android. The way he is playing now shows that his mind is not able to shut it all out.
Now Eldrick is going to have to find out how to win tournaments without his alter ego. "Tiger" was a symbol of flawlessness and, when Eldrick Woods has to watch his kids grow up through pictures, that persona won't stand up.
