Wouldn\u2019t it been refreshing if after his round on Friday Tiger Woods had said to ESPN\u2019s Tom Rinaldi, \u201cBefore I comment on my round\u2014which was pretty awful\u2014let me first apologize for some of my language today and also for my behavior on the 16th tee. I lost my temper and kicked my club and that shouldn\u2019t have happened. There\u2019s no excuse for it; I\u2019m sorry it happened and I\u2019ll try to do my best not for it to happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s a fantasy scene. Tiger lacks any sense of humility and self-reflection to ever make it a reality. Despite his dramatic fall from grace which shattered his marriage and his public image, he\u2019s still the same old Tiger, full of himself. Even when he won at Bay Hill, Tiger\u2019s immediate post-round comments were revealing. He couldn\u2019t or wouldn\u2019t even mention by name some of the people who helped turn his game around. He said something to the effect, \u201cYou know who you are.\u201d\u00a0 Gee, isn\u2019t that nice. Let everyone just fill in blanks on your thank yous, Tiger. Smart, time-saving precedent for other winners, too. \u201cNormally, I\u2019d thank a number of people for helping me on this journey for tonight\u2019s Oscar but as Tiger Woods said, \u2018you know who you are.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

As it\u2019s oft been cited, the game of golf reveals character. In this important category, Tiger once again has missed the cut.<\/p>\n
