Tiger can still roar!

Okay, sorry. Soccer Talker sounds like an obsesive football fan which in actual fact, yep, thats me but I'm not all soccer. Rugby, Golf, Boxing, American football and (at a good real push) tennis, these are other sports I've expressed an interest in.Obviously being a golfing fan it is exciting when the Ryder Cup comes around and we weren't dissapointed this year. A very exciting and tense final day which went literally down to the last swings of the ball. This years Ryder Cup was hosted at the Celtic manor resort in Wales, the US team captained by Corey Pavin and Europe captained by Scotsman Colin Montgomery. Anyway I wanted to keep this short so to get to my point. Less than a year ago a story broke out that reached almost every news paper, news station, radio etc. you name it you'd probably hear about it. This story was about Tiger Woods, I won't get into detail but this led into his divorce and also to his sex addiction. The sporting world was shocked, a player like Woods the winner of 49 major awards and achievments, a father, an idol for young folks was to act in such a way as to be driven to rehab for sex addiction was massive! Tiger recieved huge criticism for his rehab and addiction. Back to the Ryder cup and a year on Tiger Woods is still playing the golf that has caught the eyes and ears of golf fans around the globe, during USA's unfortunate 14 half - 13 half  loss of the Ryder cup Tiger Woods achieved a birdie, another birdie, a third birdie then an astonishing and fantastically hit eagle. For me Tiger Woods has shown great courage and strenghth to come back and play what I will more than happily call 'world class golf'. Keep the roar Tiger!
