Woods' win at the Chevron World Challenge at Sherwood Country Club has been a long time coming. Tiger's fans have been waiting patiently, and Tiger himself has been waiting and striving rather impatiently. It cannot be easy to fall from the world No#1 spot to off the charts in a short space of time. Injuries, a media furore, and more injuries have plagued the former No#1 ranked golfer in the world.
Tiger's last win was at the
2009 Australian Masters. How do I know that? I was there. I saw him put on the yellow jacket at Kingston Heath. I got a sore neck from crouching down and watching between somebody's knees. It was worth it. Tiger was where he belonged, and in my eyes had never really left, just lying dormant until the right time. Some said he had "lost it", "was over", I never really believed it so I kept my mouth shut (my blogging mouth, anyway). Tiger showed some form towards the end of the 2011 Australian Open, finishing third, beaten by John Senden (2nd) and Greg "going for the triple crown" Chalmers (1st). Chalmers, after his win at the Australian Open went on to win again at the PGA at Coolum and is set to put in a fight at the 2011 JBWere Masters next weekend. Chalmers will be set to play key US events next year, so stay tuned...
In that same month, Tiger played a crucial role in the 2011 Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne Golf Club, helping to seal the win for the USA against the International Team.
Currently, Tiger's world ranking has ricocheted from #52 up to #21.
What is to come is yet unknown, but when golf and Tiger Woods get together, it creates eventful, inspiring and perhaps even surprising entertainment.
