Tiger Woods Emerges Triumphant Only Four Months Later

Posted By Cliff Tuttle | March 17, 2010

In December it was widely predicted that Tiger Woods’ career was over, but when he plays in the Masters in early April, it will have been only four months. That’s the off season for most sports.

Now, it is reported in the New York Times that the appearance of Woods in the Masters is being called potentially the biggest sporting event of all time.  So much for the predictions of all those pundits who said that Woods had been fatally damaged.

Here’s a prediction: the return of Woods will draw the largest TV audience of any sporting event, which means that it will outdraw the last Super Bowl. I won’t be watching, however.  I’ll be blogging.

It has often been observed that, for a celebrity, all publicity is good publicity.  The comeback will generate more attention than the hottest hot streak of all times. That doesn’t mean that he won’t continue to pay a price, a large one, in public and private.
