It was great for us mere mortals seeing Tiger again, and for me it was more important at the mere age of 46, he has accepted what his health is telling him, at best he will be a part time player if at all, just the majors and a few others on the menu, but most importantly the old adage " you never appreciate your health until you lose it"

Tiger Woods
Now it's health and family first and foremost, working on his golf game a serious hobby.
Many of my media colleagues have now had their say with the expected wide range of opinions.
For me the game of pro golf is in the best place it's ever been and much of it because of Tiger, especially for the players who are playing for stunning purses on the main tours, and more than ever on the lesser, especially with the Saudi's throwing their billions into the mix.
However to be honest I'm glad it's a part time role now for Tiger, because if he was going to be able to come back full time his shadow is cast so big, that nobody else matters, and that's not good for the game as it stands today, he hasn't played fulltime since 2013 really.
We have a whole new generation of stars with a future to write, legends to be crowned, they couldn't have done it without Tiger, and as nice as it is to see him getting better, they don't need him anymore.
