Reply #3: Celznic: ‘Injury’ was just an excuse for Tiger to quit

[Poiuyt]

I’m not sure we’ve ever seen anybody crash and burn quite as spectacularly as Tiger has. This isn’t just one aspect of his life that fell apart. It’s everything — physical, mental, emotional — all going kaflooey together. All it lacks is a felony charge to qualify as a total disaster.

No one, including Tiger, knows where this goes next. He may decide it’s a good idea to have surgery on the neck to avoid having to embarrass himself again on the golf course. Or he may convince himself his game is right there and everything will be better the next time out.

But it’s not likely he’ll ever dominate again. The rest of the Tour respects his accomplishments and talent but doesn’t fear him anymore. Phil Mickelson is the best golfer on the planet now. A lot of kids who look at Tiger as an old fart who used to be great are taking their shots at the top.

Tiger may come back, but it’s not his Tour to own anymore. Not after he took up quitting on rounds and tournaments.
