A picture speaks a thousand words...
Millions of dollars, trophy wife and a lifestyle envious of every golfer out there.

But nothing is worth more than what losing a loved one can do to a man.

Even tho I hate you with a passion, Tiger, I feel your pain in this image.

Congratulations on a great win. Earl has blessed this world with a great gift.

Nice post Rockford. I kind of figured it was going to be hard, his first win and all.

Good post Rock. I don't why, with so many good golfers in the PGA, but I
like Tiger even though it seems to come so easy for him.

It definately meant a lot to him. I'm sure his dad is proud.

Very emotional win, for Tiger and those watching him.

Very cool, nothing wrong with showing a little emotion for a loved one...

And you're right about Earl, Rockford.

Tiger mastered the course, the game, and his emotions, to play perhaps the single greatest round of golf I have ever seen.

I don't see how someone can hold their emotions in and play an incredible game like that. He must have a cast-iron On/Off switch.

Right as he hugged his caddie and kept holding on, I almost lost it myself.

Golf...What a horrible mistress you are to me......

A perfect description...as they replayed the tape of him walking up to 18, his final shots, his jubiliance and then the sobs into Stevie's shoulder - I thought the same thing. Among his great talents, is his emotional control, despite some obvious verbal outbursts in the heat of competition from time to time...all of it shows he is only human after all.

In the post round interviews when asked about his emotions, Tiger said he had thought of nothing but golf through 18 and then started to think about his father after Stevie told him to "win it for pops" walking up 18 toward the green.

Unfortunately I can speak from experience and losing a parent is very tough. Tiger had a very special relationship with his dad and it seemed to me that he realized right then that it was over. That's a hard thing to come to grips with.

Personally, I admire his dedication and determination and a moment like that just makes him seem a little more human.

I know some people are tired of Tiger...but if you are human...you can't say you didn't feel good for him after losing his Pop...

A great original post
