Resurrecting Tiger

They remind me of the Nike Air Raids circa maybe 93-94. Thankfully there is now 2-3 releases of Jumpman golf shoes every year.

I totally got a pair of those (black and white--not red) for x-mas in 8th grade. Christmas 1992, to be exact.

I'm really curious to see how Tiger does this week. I've heard he's going with Bridgestone balls and a TM driver. I hope he shoots a 90.

The internet is buzzing with videos of Tiger hitting a TM M1 on the range this week. Plus he's got a new bag sponsor: Monster Energy. Seems appropriate.

He's also debuting one of the ugliest golf shoes of all time (which is saying a lot, given some of the previous TWs):

Pretty detailed (and long) article tracking the unraveling of Tiger after his father's death.

It was an interesting read. It sources Hank Haney's book about Tiger several times. I read that book and really recommend it. But I don't remember getting the impression from the book of how out of control Tiger's obsession with joining the Navy had become. Maybe Haney never knew the full extent of it. Crazy stuff.

Until they both get their patriarchal blessings there is no way to know for sure.

Would you guess that both are from the tribe of Judah?

Not the same guy. You're thinking of Leigh Steinberg. No idea if there is a connection.

Isn't Steinberg the agent that had Young and some other really notable clients. He then succumbed to using alcohol I think and went downhill. I always thought he was good and if that is him, it is nice to see he got back on his feet.

Doesn't sound good, I think he's done.

When Tiger himself is non-committal about his return to golf, something is really wrong with his back:

Did he have the surgery in Park City again?

ESPN says it was the same surgeon so I would guess it was done in Park City.
