Jack Nicklaus was right about a few things when discussing the issue of Tiger Woods. Primarily he is right in that Tiger is getting ready for Augusta, whether or not he or anyone else wants to admit it. The best golfer in the world will not let the most prestigious tournament in the world go by without being part of it. Augusta will be the perfect place for his comeback because there the media is limited. The Augusta people are going to protect their event whether or not Tiger is there. They will not let it become a spectacle. Tiger knows that which is why the clubs are out of the bag and he is practicing again.
When he does step up to the number one tee box I will only say one thing, watch out. The man is going to prove to the world that his problems off the course can be put behind him while chasing the little white ball. He is going to prove what golf fans already know, he has one of the most powerful and most focused game day minds in history.
A call from The Corner, Tiger wins the green jacket going away.
Nicklaus is right about one other thing and that is Tiger's situation is no one's business but Tiger's and his families. We can focus on what goes on between the ropes. What goes on away from the course is irrelevant. Sports journalism should be about reporting scores and highlights, not the personal details of a player's life.
