And now there’s yet another new experience Tiger Woods has to deal with. And it’s the last thing we ever thought we’d see from the man who used to be the greatest golfer most of us had ever seen.

He quit Sunday in the final round of the Players Championship. Picked his ball up on the seventh hole, said his neck hurts, and didn’t even walk off the course. He climbed in a golf cart and rode off into the metaphorical sunset. Except that little kid running behind him wasn’t yelling, “Come back, Shane!” He was yelling, “"Tiger, say so long to No. 1!

“Two words-don’t watch!”

With all due respect when they jam Tiger stories down your throat on every sportscenter or golf channel show or radio talk show...you tend to get sick of hearing about this doofus.

Saying he was 100% and ready to go full boar and then saying he’s been battling this injury for a while makes me pause and say...What the...?
It’s ok for you to like him...my 16 yr old jr golfer thinks he’s a doofus. I’m just sayin...
