Jack Nicklaus was interviewied by ESPN today and had the following comments on when Tiger Woods would appear in his first PGA golf event since the sex parade scandal broke out.
“I suspect he'll play something before Augusta. Your guess is as good as mine. I would be very surprised if he didn't play something before Augusta.
Before I comment on Jack I just want to say one thing. I completely agree. Tiger will be back at or before the Masters.
I just want to say one thing. The coordinators of the Masters do not want Tiger to show. The Masters is the last great sporting event that focuses on the actual venue. Everyone cares about Augusta. There is never a circus at Augusta. The players appreciate the course and make the tournament about the course. It's all about the green jacket and who wins it. That's why people watch. The tournament directors know this. They want to continue this tradition. If Tiger decides to return they realize it will ruin the tradition. The tournament will become about Tiger and not the "Masters." However, if he wants to come back they can't tell him now because he'll pull ratings.
As much as that sucks for them. It's going to happen. Tiger will be back for the Masters. He'll be back. He's not going to miss a major. He needs to play as many majors so he can catch Jack. Regardless of what the directors say Tiger is the sport. Not the masters. Not Augusta.
Anyway, on to Jack's comments.
Why does Jack need to even mention this. The whole fucking world knows Tiger will be at the Masters. Everyone knows he'll play one or two events before for a warm up. He's not an idiot. He's going to play an event or two to get ready and quite honestly there's a chance he wins one of those events plus the Masters. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if he won every event he entered this year just so he could say fuck you to all his doubters. He's simply the best and that's what the best does.
Quick thought: If Tiger comes back what do you think the odds will be that he wins the Masters? I bet he'll be the odds on favorite.
Exactly. Enough said. He's the best and will continue to be the best.
No matter where he fucking plays and who he decides to fuck.
