For those of you that have slept in a cave for the last 10 years, you may have missed the fact that Tiger Woods is the most exciting thing going in the world of sports today. Period. If you are an ice-fishermen who only pays attention to that sport of which you participate, and have no concept of the drama being played out on the golf course, I am here to assist you. Golf is where you hit a ball
until it goes in the hole (less strokes are better) and Tiger has dominated this sport like no one else has within their own sport (except maybe Michael Jordan). He now has won 7 straight events on the PGA tour. For normal humans, that is the equivalent of making fresh pasta for dinner (from scratch) while being dead, see here.
Tiger Woods made unbelievable shots all round that put him in the lead and kept him there. Tiger entered the fourth and final round needing to make a comeback to keep his streak alive. He made an Eagle putt on the ninth hole from 25 feet away (your neighbor's front yard to your driveway) to tie the leaders. He made clutch sand saves and a "my ball is in a strange hole in front of the eighteenth green" save to secure the victory. While he was charging and thriving under the pressure, other golfers wilted like Swiper the Fox's hopes of stealing something from Dora & Boots after they verbally patrolled his lameness.
"Swiper No Swiping! You Some Kinda Fool or What?"
Tiger may not be able to leap tall buildings or even fly casually, but he is the nearest thing to Superman I have seen. He does have one flaw which is quite striking. He appeared on the Ellen Show (I think in a moment of weakness) and although he embarassed Ellen in a driving competition (see duh) he was still there and that can never go away. He has been golfing since he was two and has been competitive in golf since perhaps he was in the womb. So, to wrap this up, if you are an ice fishermen or have been sleeping for a while, recognize Tiger Rules. Carry on.
