We won't know for a long while if Tiger will be able to be a golf competitor again, or if he will even want to. My hope is that whatever path physically he is on that he will experience a renaissance of spirit, creativity, and self assurance that he seems to have been longing for while chasing top championships. These reminders -- throughout 2020 and 2021 -- teach and show us that life, even for the mighty, is fragile. Life is a precious gift and we are, willing or unwillingly, constantly called into new beginnings to redefine how we live to be fully alive.

Well done, Vic. Between his tree crash years ago and multiple back surgeries, either of which could have been career-ending, one has to wonder if this latest tragic accident could be the final knockout for golf's GOAT. Either way, before that question can even be answered, let the healing begin. Again.

Thanks so much, Vic, you always have such a great perspective.

Through all of his injuries, Tiger has shown amazing resilience to come back. Who would ever have thought he'd win another Masters? He was at the top of professional golf for a long time and his focus was superhuman. At times, he also seemed devoid of emotion and empathy, and I must admit I thought him rather unlikeable beyond the fairways. But he has softened a great deal over the past years and has become much more affable and humble, at least from my perspective. This was a terrible accident and I feel quite sad for him given the physical damage he has suffered. I hope he will heal perhaps return to golf someday, but if not, that he will continue to be a role model for others. Despite the difficulties he's had in his life he has much to be grateful for.
