Tiger Woods is down for the count. That has been made clear over the last month. And now he might be out after his kids struck him with a body blow recently at the Hero World Challenge.
Soccer nuts Sam and Charlie Woods were asked for a USA Today article whether they would rather be their dad or global soccer icon Lionel Messi.
“Messi,” Sam immediately said with a big smile and a giggle. “Messi,” the more reserved Charlie said. After a slight pause, the youngest Woods chimed in again. “He’s playing.”
With that stinger, the elder Woods dropped his head in mock humiliation before cracking a huge smile and laughing out loud. “Well,” Tiger Woods said, “he’s right.”
It's all in good fun (I think) and quite funny. And good on Tiger for being able to take a few hits from his kids. Woods' transformation from young killer to elder statesman with children is pretty much complete. It's been as startling as it has been under the radar.
I have no clue what to expect for 2016, but I think everyone is hopeful that Woods is simply able to get back on the course.
