Tiger probably has had so many STD’s his caddy will need to wear rubber gloves when handling his clubs and balls.
Tiger Woods is 50?! Time flies...
I was in way better shape than Woods when I was 50.
Now 20 years later, I am in the best shape of my life.
This feels less like age and more about chemical or bio damage of some kind.
It sure took out Bill Clinton as he looks like a walking dead man.
He is aging like a leather coat left outside in the Phoenix sun.
Who cares. He’s and adulterous dolt.
Re: college loans. NOTHING has improved so long as the government is still in any part of the business of college loans.
If you think about how violent Tiger’s swing was in his prime
you would not be surprised that he now has as many physical problems
as he does. Lots of people predicted that this would happen.
