Yes, sounds like ‘This is it’. He is finally coming out to play the real game. The game he is good at and ya you stand corrected – that’s Golf.
This reminds me that Woods come back is not the only hyped come backs in the sporting history – there have been many. One I vividly remember was of Monica Seles, It was in my school days, a lot of my friends, including me had a LOT of fascination towards her. I clearly remember the day when that unfortunate event happened where a true Steffi Graf fan stabbed Monica (poor girl)…I always used to watch her play on TV. Well, she never won a Grand Slam after that but the true spirit of playing after a major injury will always keep her a mega Tennis star.
One of my friend tells me that the return of Michael Schumacher was also a real come back! am not much into F1 but I did hear about this.
The best one looks like has been from our own land – the DADA Mr. Sourav Ganguli. In IPL3 you need to see his performance to believe it, even though he retired from test cricket in 2008, he has come back in the real sense in IPL. Almost every innings he makes a half century, with a good bowling score as well as good at fielding. Who would say he is nearing 38 years of age now!! A real come back I say….
IPL also reminds me of more players, Look at Shane Warne who got Rajasthan Royals a victory in 2008, he too announced his retirement a year back – but came very strong in IPL. Also, Gilchrist when he won the IPL2 for Hyderabad, he was also a retiree then!
All said and done, this come back from Tiger Woods would be very interesting as the tiger is finally coming out of woods, lets see how he roars !! Just to give you a perspective on how much money is he worth and why his come back has become the most watched event in the recent past only second to Obama’s inauguration event – his current brand value stands at $82 million, the next best who ranks here is Mr. handsome hunk – David Beckham at less than one-fourth of Woods value – $20 million. This despite Woods loosing $35 million in brand value due to his scandals !!
I will also be rich someday like Mr. Woods. Well, my wish is only be in the news for my wealthiness and not for any other reason(s) !! All the best to me 🙂
