Tiger Woods hitting three shots into the water was just the beginning of a weird day at Congressional Country Club on Monday for one of the greatest golfers of all time. Woods' three wedges were horrific, yes, but what came after that was just downright strange.
Truth be told, a buddy sent me this exchange shortly after it happened, and I didn't know what in the world it meant. Maybe you can decipher it better than I can, but there are a few key words to keep an eye on. Let's jump in.
This is from Barry Svrluga of the Washington Post.
Walking to the Congressional parking lot later, I asked Woods whether he could envision, when his career is over, returning to Congressional -- in the vein of Nicklaus at the Memorial or Arnold Palmer at Bay Hill -- as host of the tournament that benefits his foundation, a ceremonial sideshow sitting in a comfy chair, telling stories and remembering better days gone by.
"Mmmmm-hmmmm," he said, lips pursed. "Yep." Really? How and why?
"Ask me that question later this year," he said. "I'll have a different answer."
Huh?
"You'll see," he said, and he smiled.
What?!
I read it 10 times. There's no context other than what I've shown above. Does it mean he's going to retire? Does it mean he's buying Congressional? What does it mean? I feel like if the double rainbow craze from a few years ago had a print version, this would be it.
Such is covering the enigma that is Tiger Woods.
