It's really too bad because he was one of my favorites back in the day, who didn't want a paid of those Oakleys and look like Duval?

Being 38 or 39 I think it is too late for him to be that golfer anymore but he can definitely find himself top 50 in the world if he keeps it up and maybe win some smaller tournaments.

Also is it just me or is anyone else annoyed by Miller and the NBC crew's love fest for Tiger? I understand he is the number one golf in the world and one of the only reasons half the viewers tune in but come on. Tiger is 0-39 (40 now) in majors he isn't leading yet no matter what happened like bogey on number one they kept telling everyone he was ready to shot 62-63. For some reason it was annoying me and I love Tigger.
Actually from what I've read and heard it was success that did him in. He has always thought he had the talent and was being done in by you name it. He thought that when he achieved success on the golf course everything in his life would be rosy. He got there and lo and behold, wonder of wonders, it wasn't any different for him than the day before other than his name was on a couple of trophies. Apparently, though it took him a decade, he has figured out that your job isn't going to bring you happiness. His home life is now settled and and with the far more important end of life taken care of his job is now fun again.
