I always thought that nothing could happen on the golf course would ever stop Tiger from becoming the greatest golfer ever; he’s simply too good not to break Jack Nicklaus’ record and then some. His fall from grace , however, has been a total shock that has obviously has repercussions for the golfing world. What happens now to the Majors ? Are they tainted because he won’t be competing ? Will they lose their value because they’re Tiger-less ? It’s obvious the PGA Tour is going to take a big hit as when Tiger’s not playing TV audiences go down 50% so sponsors might not be so keen now. Of course corporate America may never forgive Tiger and won’t want to be associated with what they see as tainted goods. It’s just all a bit sad. Sad for the sport, sad for Tiger but most importantly sad for his wife and kids. In the end though no one else is to blame but himself and now this action seems to be a sign that he realises this.
