Tonight at 10pm, the CBC News Network (Canada) is airing Tiger Woods: Rise and Fall. A documentary showing inside the Tiger Woods sex scandal with unprecedented access to key players: the girls, the ‘Tiger Team’ insiders, and the people who brought him down.
Apparently the documentary informs us that…
What Earl [Woods] and others concocted was essentially a “golf machine” but also that “they had put a glitch in the Tiger machine, an infidelity chip.”…The glitch in the machine is the sense of entitlement, the remoteness from ordinary experience and an awesome arrogance. - GlobeandMail.com
Sounds like a far-fetched sci-fi flick to us.

Yeah, I’ve been watching a bit of golf lately, and if you didn’t know, Charley Hoffman is the man.
He’s like a cross between Owen Wilson and Phillip Seymour… wait a minute, are they related? Lester Bangs aka Brandt has a brother who’s a pro golfer? Sadly no, I Googled, but a man can dream.
Oh, here’s Charley with my colleague Nina driving around a track at this week’s BMW Championship tournament.

Tiger Woods is off to his best start since his recent slump following his self-created infidelity media circus. Tiger’s divorce is final and perhaps his head has cleared. He currently shares the lead in the first round at the Barclays with a 5 under.

The Fall of Tiger Woods : Can He Return to Glory? →
Personally, I think a lot of the media hype about Tiger is overblown. He’s no different when it comes to having a sordid personal life than many athletes in many different sports. It doesn’t make it right, it just means it’s not uncommon. It’s magnified by one hundred million because he’s Tiger.
As far as being the greatest golfer in the world, I wouldn’t bet against him. Tiger will be back to crushing tournaments at a ridiculous clip once again in due time. You don’t simply lose the type of talent that Tiger displayed all those years. It does not just disappear, to never return. Golf is very much a mental game, and Tiger is working through some serious mental demons right now.
Those counting him out are pretty short sighted.
