Well, it’s certainly not his ability (or capability) to strike the golf ball that is bothering Tiger Woods; because winning Arnie’s tournament had almost everyone expecting a great ball-striking week during the 2012 Masters Tournament. So, we are all left wondering what happened this week? Despite the standard assessment of his game, which Tiger usually provides when questioned about a less than stellar performance, I believe there is something else perhaps in his personal life that did not allow him to fully concentrate at the Masters. I mean, he never really seemed to get things going like Tiger Woods is almost always expected to do. And, the expression of his displeasure (kicking clubs, cursing, etc.) may be an indication of something more serious going on in his life. Is his mom okay? We hope so. Is the extended family violating his coveted privacy an issue? We hope not. Was it simply the “wrong ball-striking week at the wrong time” which may explain his comparatively pedestrian performance? Maybe, at least that’s how he describes it. Interestingly, some are calling for fines or suspension from tournaments because of the un-sportsmanlike behavior previously mentioned. Is that a good thing? Is that a bad thing? And, with all of the drama that this guy has gone through in the last few years, is that even a fair thing? Who really knows? At the end of the day, however, maybe we can agree on this: Tiger Woods performance during a PGA event (good or bad) is something that sets the tone of the week ahead for many fans of the game of golf. In fact, this week of the 76th Masters Golf Tournament, some salespeople are not going to make as many sales. Some car dealers are not going to sell as many cars. Some advertisers are not going to enjoy as much response and revenue from their television and online investments as they would if Tiger Woods and Bubba Watson were in that exciting two-hole playoff to crown the winner of the 2012 Masters Golf Tournament. And surely, the all-male country club known as Augusta National will not now have the distraction of a Tiger Woods victory to offset the increasing drone and advocacy for female infiltration into its long-held male exclusivity. For all the right or wrong reason that we can come up with victories do matter, Tiger, so good luck and god’s-speed on your next attempt to capture a major. It means a lot to all of us, personally and financially!
