No matter what you think of Tiger — love him or despise him — of all of his achievements and accomplishments, this is the most remarkable. How he recovered so quickly, how he says he is playing golf so well again, how he got himself ready to compete here this week, it’s the stuff of legend.
For 25 years, Woods has transcended his sport, reaching into our culture in a way Nicklaus never did. A man of color in the lily-white, country-club world of golf? He always was so interesting, and important. And that nickname? Tiger! Of course grandmothers planned their Sunday afternoons around his tee time and came running to the TV set when he was hitting his next shot.
Yet, from all of that, he kept coming back. He came back, again and again. How many comebacks can one man have? Has any elite athlete ever had more drive or desire? He has won five Masters, yet his thirst to return, to play and yes, to win, is unquenchable. How is that possible? Have we ever seen anyone quite like this?
Ridley said Mickelson texted him about a month ago to say he wasn’t going to be coming to the 2022 Masters.Back then, it looked like this Masters would be without both Phil and Tiger. And then, a sports miracle unfolded. Tiger was coming back. A once-edgy and unpleasant young man had become kinder and more appreciative. Having witnessed his life without golf, he desperately wanted another chance to keep it.
