They say one picture is really worth 1000 words. Just take a look at this image of Tiger at some stage in his press convention Tuesday, courtesy of azcentral.Com. When do you last recall seeing Tiger smiling and talking along with his arms this a great deal?
You won't know that his press convention turned into televised stay by means of both GC and ESPN. (ESPN is broadcasting lots of their suggests live from Glendale, near Phoenix, this week due to the Super Bowl.) While GC had Tim Rosaforte on set to comment, ESPN had Dottie Pepper... And Dottie changed into sincerely excited to see Tiger so relaxed. She commented at the truth that he turned into now not simplest smiling and laughing, but additionally handling questions that he wouldn't have dealt with inside the past.
If you ignored the presser, you ignored an surprisingly cheerful and talkative Tiger. He handled questions on almost the entirety underneath the solar, along with having the flu for three weeks after the Hero World Challenge, his lengthy absence from Phoenix due to protection worries, the condition of the newly-made over direction, the "Great Tooth Incident" -- which, btw, Dottie says numerous dentists instructed her that Tiger's model of what happened is entirely practicable irrespective of what you've got read on the internet -- and his chipping problems.
In addition, he volunteered anecdotes about moving the boulder as a free obstacle returned in 1999, his hole-in-one at Phoenix in 1997, or even laughed as he poked amusing at himself. (His statement that ?I had the mask on so no person knew who I become, I changed into trying to combination in because there aren't a number of brown dudes at ski races, ok?? Became a memorable one. This golf.Com article documents some of the highlights.)
And in case you assume he allow his defend down just due to the fact he came about to be in a small organization with some newshounds he knew and depended on, think once more. This photo (again, from azcentral.Com) indicates only a portion of the reporters there:
The upshot of all of it is this: Tiger Woods seems to be at a very good vicinity in his life, a place in which he even feels cushty enjoyable in the front of the media. And if that contains over onto the golf path, we're all in for a honestly good 12 months of golf.
Of direction, we might not be able to mention the identical for his competitors.
