I find it fascinating that he was so successful, and seemingly an event in his personal life caused that to come apart.

I think there was more to it. The revelation of his ugly personal life cracked the media shell of Tiger Woods. With the media bloodhounds sniffing around, he had to quit steroids. I mean, how else could he win at Torrey Pines with a broken leg, but a few years later quit the 11th hole at Farmers because of "deactivated glutes?" Drugs.

Could you explain the Tiger Woods Steriod stuff I have never heard this before.

More than any other sport, golf is a mental game. You gotta have everything else in your life peaceful to be able to concentrate.

When Tiger was living the party-life, with everyone applauding and adoring him, things were good in his mind. After “That Night”, he knew his marriage was doomed and that the public saw his image was a fake. That messes up a man’s mind real good.

Perhaps not surprising the best golfers have a stable domestic life?

I don’t understand how steroids could help a golfer. Plus, his caddie for the majority of those years says he didn’t take them, and he has every reason to say bad things about Woods.
