I think Tiger's personality has really changed over the past few years. His fellow golfers really seen to love the guy now.
This. He was humbled. Hope he pulls through.
Also - I think ppl don't give enough thought to the fact that he was basically a child prodigy. It's tough to stay humble and down to earth when you're seen as a future of the sport at such a young age. To me - 99% ppl in his situation won't amount to anything close to what was expected. They'd not survive under the pressure of expectations - and they'd still be giant a*****es.
I'm not a golf fan but I appreciate and admire greatness when I see it. Not just greatness in golf - but ability to handle such massive expectations from such young age and then go out and over-achieve them while everyone is looking at you.
That's one mentally strong dude. That's why if there is 10% chance of him ever returning and playing professional golf - I'd bet money on him to make it happen.
