Just want to clear one thing up.. Nike is still a sponsor of Tiger.
Tiger did what he felt he should do. To sit here and say that he should have continued to play golf and ignore the problems and the underlying contributors would only put him in the same situations that he found himself in before, is selfish. We have no idea what's going on behind closed doors with him and his family, and frankly, I couldn't care less. He doesn't owe me or anyone else anything (with the exception of his family) just as I don't owe him anything either. Support him, denounce him, do what you want, but, I can bet you any sum of money that he's going to be better than he was before. He may not win the Masters this go around, but he's going to be back in his dominant and intimidating form before we realize what happened.
I think his return to golf is about healing and about proving to himself and his family that he can overcome his personal issues. I've never seen another player in all of sport with the steel nerves and mental concentration that Tiger has. Now that he's addressed his issues and is putting them behind him, he'll once again return to god like status in the game of golf. He'll probably tell the sponsors who left to fuck off when they come crawling back as well.
Like I said before, I don't give a shit about his personal life and the dealings that go on. I just love watching the man swing a club. Jazz is right that when you see it in person, it takes on a whole new dimension. I hope he destroys the field at the Masters and can point two middle fingers up at all the doubters, the ignorant media and anyone else who forgets that he's a person as well as a sportsman.
