Did Tiger’s Recent Success Cause his Ex-Wife to bulldoze her Home?

Parts of me have to wonder why this story has surfaced now and how long ago this may have happened.   Not having met either Tiger Woods or his ex Elin Nordegren, I can by no means be considered an expert with their relationship but like many others I do have an opinion. Shane Bacon of Devil Ball Golf in the article titled Tiger Woods’ ex-wife bulldozes $12 million home, his question was “Why in the world is she still in Florida? Wouldn't you want to move back home for good?”   I can not answer that question but it does bring up a few ideas on the subject.   We did not hear much from or about her until Tiger began to make some strides in his possible “comeback”.   We did hear a little from his former caddy but not so much from his ex.   I’m thinking that they were quite content to see his game suffer and his life follow suits but now that things may be turning around, they may become a little more bothered. With $100 million dollars, it is my guess that you c...

ESPN’s The Sports Reporters now have egg on their faces

Similar to the take of Jay Busbee from Yahoo Sports in his article titled   Rory McIlroy’s a good sport about losing the green jacket was the over-all feelings of those experts occupying chairs in Sunday’s ESPN show called “The Sports Reporters”.   To a person the conversation was all about Rory McIlroy and how much better he was than Tiger Woods.   Each depicted Tiger as a dried up old man that did not have a right to be on the same course as these young guns.   McIlroy’s drives and putting was compared and they even went as far as to question the heart of Woods.   Mr. Saunders who said nothing just sat there without challenging any of them and because of that action was viewed as agreeing with them.   McIlroy showed why he was not yet ready for prime time and those who proclaimed the air apparent should now be in the process of removing their foot from their mouths. The article reports that “one day after   Rory McIlroy 's  apocalyptic meltdo...

Awaking the Tiger

In Tom Kinslow’s Bleacher Report article titled Masters 2011: Ian Poulter Takes Shot at Tiger Woods, Was It Uncalled For? I found myself agreeing with much of what he wrote.   No one puts it better than Mr. Kinslow and I wished I could’ve said these things first.   The drama of the Masters may be something of seeing which golfer will play their best game and come out on top but the real money is watching Tiger Woods and seeing where he ends up. Mr. Kinslow quoted Ian Poulter saying “ Woods won't even finish in the top-five  according to the BBC . However, he didn't stop there as he continued to rip into the man who used to be the most dominant player on the tour.   The shots he [Woods] was hitting at Doral, they were very inconsistent," Poulter said according to the BBC report. "You can't afford to hit shots like that round this golf course and get away with it."   I do not think that Ian was asked about Tiger to get his professional opinion on another sup...
