Woods blows his shot at redemption

When I wrote last week about Tiger Woods’s chances of winning his fifth green jacket, and with it his 15th Major championship, I talked a lot about Tiger the man, the ultimate competitor and, most importantly, about the fact the 78th Augusta Masters offered him his first true shot at complete redemption amongst the public at large.

Having spent much of the past couple of years successfully rebuilding his golf game, Tiger came into Augusta with pretty much everything going his way. He had already won three times in five starts on the PGA Tour, he was in a solid relationship and he had regained the official tag as the world’s best golfer.

On top of that, the media were loving the more relaxed Tiger too, and everything pointed to a resumption of winning Majors, something he had not achieved since 2008.
