VIRGINIA WATER, England — For the first time since 1996, Tiger Woods is not among the top 100 golfers in the world ranking. Woods, who hasn’t played since he withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open on Feb. 6, falls to No. 104 this week. The last time he was out of the top 100 was on Sept. 29, 1996, when he was at No. 225. The following week, Woods won the Las Vegas Invitational as a 20-year-old for the first of his 79 PGA Tour victories. It is not clear when Woods will return. He said in February that his … Continue reading
PEBBLE BEACH, Fla. — Tiger Woods said Wednesday his game is “not acceptable” to compete in tournaments and he will return when he thinks it is. Hopeful of having injuries behind him, Woods made a horrific start to the new year. He shot a career-high 82 in the second round of the Phoenix Open to miss the cut by 12 shots. And then he withdrew after 11 holes of ordinary golf at Torrey Pines because of tightness in his back from a fog delay. Woods said on his website the last two weeks have been disappointing, especially at Torrey Pines, … Continue reading
Items that may grow up to be columns, Vol. XVII, Chapter 7: A SHOE DROPS: Score one for the claimants. The National Hockey League has lost in an attempt to have a U.S. district court in Minnesota throw out a claim by six retired players that the league didn’t protect them from the consequences of repeated brain trauma. This may only be step one in what promises to be a long, drawn-out legal battle, but for the players, it’s a small victory because the judge rejected three NHL arguments for dismissal. The players allege that the league intentionally concealed material … Continue reading
His obits are already appearing and, very pertinently, to the majority, the reports of his demise do not seem in any way exaggerated. Tiger Woods is finished. Only the last freakish acts remain; the pitiful postscript, the wildly inappropriate finale. Think Elvis in Vegas, Ali in the Bahamas except it does not have to end like this. Of course, we can dismiss his chances of a fifth Green Jacket in the Masters next month, no matter if next week he does announce that he will play at Augusta. Yet just because the condition of his mind, body, swing and reputation … Continue reading
Tiger Woods is not taking a break from the PGA Tour to fix a hitch in his golf swing. He’s taking a break to fix the hitch in his head. The issue is not so much how to hit the golf ball, but whether he wants to hit it at all. When a guy who famously hates public life gives formal media interviews about his “deactivated glutes,” you get the feeling he’s looking for an out. Translation: “I think I’d like to go home and sit for awhile.” What’s really wrong with Woods is that he hasn’t been practising. No … Continue reading
TORONTO — It was a blustery Friday afternoon at Augusta National two years ago and, had his golf ball travelled an inch to either the left or right, you wonder how the world of Tiger Woods would have unfolded in the months since. Amid all the post-mortems and eulogies offered in the past few days for the career of Woods, which was put on hold last week when he simply up and quit from a tournament at Torrey Pines, then announced that he would return at some unspecified time in the future, it was easy to overlook the fact that, as … Continue reading
