He says his game is unacceptable, and will not come back until he finds his game again. "How Tiger got his groove back." Link http://espn.go.com/golf/story/_/id/12311725/tiger-woods-takes-leave-golf-says-game-needs-lot-work
He gave him the privilege of driving his car which will surely be a story he can tell his grandchildren someday.
Tiger's future, who knows. Pro golfers lose and re-find their games all the time, you just don't hear about it because who gives a shit about 95% of the tour. Reading between the lines of the press release and Tiger's agent's statements it sounds like the fucker hasn't been practicing all that much, and that now he is going to get serious. That is kind of disappointing. Give me a second, okay now I'm over it. Underlying all of this, the dude is probably sick and tired of the entire golf world hanging on his jock 24/7. Probably still wants to play and compete, but goddamn what an enormous hassle it has become.
