Whats your guess?
Tiger seems like Michael Jordan in this respect. Even as he was being inducted into the Hall of Fame, it was clear, MJ still thought he could play, even today, and beat any of the youngsters, and that part of him hated the Hall of Fame for inducting him, because for him, it was in a way, suggesting that his time had passed. That although MJ is the greatest b-ball player ever, that he is retired.
Tiger seems to have this same drive. I remember hearing stories about him having taped the 18 majors list on his wall, even as a little kid. And lets all be honest, when he won his first major, The masters, in 1997, we knew he was good, but NOT THIS GOOD! I mean, the guy is 4 majors from tying, and 5 from breaking a record that took Nicklaus an entire career to amass, and Tiger could still play in the PGA another 27 years, before he heads over to the Senior tour. Who the hell knows what the guy could accomplish in 27 years!
My feeling is, I obviously hope the guy sorts out his personal life, and gets that under control. But I also feel, Tiger wont be able to personally deal with not playing golf professionally, and not making active steps in getting closer to 18 majors.
How long can the greatest golfer in history, stay away from the game he obviously loves? Is it feasible at all that Tiger could walk away from golf forever, and that he has played his last pro golf event ever?

My dad thinks it will be a few months. My guess is a little longer, maybe summer 2010. But we'll see.
I'm guessing that he will be playing again in early February.

Unless he's gonna take a full year or 2 off, my money is on this.

I say mid March, a couple warm up for The Masters. Springtime a time for renewal, he ain't missing no Majors. Puerto Rico sounds good it's far from stateside, he's probably already picked out his return.

all this will blow over in a couple months...our brain dead society has the attention span of a meth head at a starbucks...soon some other quasi famous person will do something stupid and the drooling slackjaws will focus on that
and there is no way he passes the opens at pebble and st andrews

Sammi: Wanna just break up?
2.Tiger is NOT the greatest golfer in history.He needs 5 more majors to get the nod over Jack.
I would be a little surprised if he misses Augusta.That being said,I really don't think he will be hitting to many golf balls in the near future.Unless his grovelling doesn't work and she leaves.
Either way Tiger is messed up in the head right now.
Gatorade and Gillette have left as sponsors.Who knows if anyone else does.
He is going down the same path as his old man.
Divorced once and separated from Tiger's mom before he died.
