He's got all the money he could ever want, even after his wife took half of it. And like you said, look at how unhappy he is. I fear it will not end well for him since his golf game is basically over.

After he gets himself together, his agents will find another high paying slot for him. His golf days are probably behind him but not his name. Shame his agents didn't care more about his well being and get to him. Money..

Of course he is depressed and going through a terrible time and it's not about the money. He was driven to be the best ever and he was well on his way. Then his body broke down, his split with his wife played with his mind and his game ws gone just like that. And that has to be crushing to him.


I was never a fan, I root for David and not Goliath. But now he is suffering in a lot of pain and has terrible insomnia. Anyone with a heart in their chest has to feel some sympathy for him.

Look at #8 here.

And yes he was pushed and driven at a very very young age.

Not really. I don't even actively dislike him, but I'd give my sympathy to lots of others before him.

Oh I'm not putting him in there with kids with cancer but we don't all have a finite amount of sympathy to dole out and I happen to think he deserves a little bit. For an athlete so dominant for so many years to fall this badly, yeah I have sympathy. And now he is a physical wreck. He is in constant pain, he can't sleep, and the one thing that identified him has been taken away despite a grueling attempt to come back over and over again. Yeah that's just sad.

I did go there but was not clear what you meant. Still not totally clear. Are you saying the big bad drug companies are to blame for Tiger's pain? His inability to sleep? His crushing fall from the highest athletic peak? Is this the reason we should feel sympathy for him in your opinion?


I'm no fan of big pharma, they are greedy pigs. But I don't see the connection here.
