Its surely been long and arduous, mixed with some disappointment but Tiger Woods finally won after more than two years. reports of his personal indiscretions notwithstanding, my view in several blog posts here, here and here has been that the skill level required of a golfer of such calibre remains with one for a considerable period. It was really just a metter of time before Tiger won resoundingly again, as happened over the weekend at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Florida.
While the tenor of the CNN story is more measured and neutral, I think that many people had unwisely written off this athlete. All the naysayers and his competitors and former colleagues who have been critical played to the nature of sports journalism. The defining nature is to highlight momentary difficulty and try to show who is in decline against new entrants to the game. I am glad that Tiger is back and that he is doing his best where he has been among the best. he has time yet to make history. May this guy continue to prosper as his work ethic shows that he deserves it.
