Tiger Not Out Of The Woods Yet??



by ibidiwala
For Tiger Woods, second time may not be a charm either. The golfer, who has been immersed in one of the largest marriage scandals ever by having numerous affairs, has opened his second tournament at par and 4 shots back from the lead score of 66 which is shared by J.B. Holmes and Robert Allenby. Thirty-six of the golfers are shooting in the 60’s, the most since 1994, and are looking forward to doing even better beyond the first day. Tiger Woods score of 70 was a noble effort, but given how many golfers did so well on the course at The Players Championship, which is a public tournament held in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida every year.

Many people suspect that it’s the recent cloud of scandals that are affecting Tiger’s game and some are even suggesting that he make a change in his coaching choice of Hank Haney, who has coached Tiger through 31 PGA Tour titles and six major championships. Many sports analysts are saying that this is simply not the answer due to Tiger’s past performance, which has been stellar up until his lack luster performance last week where he missed the final cut at the Quail Hollow Championship. Many critics are attributing the poor performance to jitters and nerves. There are also rumors that are circulating that Ein Nordegren, Tiger’s wife of 5 ½ years, is sorting through details of a possible divorce from the golfer. The couple have two children together.
