Tiger Woods is done.I had to start off with that com-ment and make it plain and simple because it seems 80% of the media and Tiger fans still have hope he will turn it all around. Well, I am here to tell you it’s false hope.We all know Tiger is a brand and he will continue to promote it, but can you honestly say he is relevant in the game of golf today as a serious competitor? The media must move on because the pro golf tour has. Tiger thinks he can fool the fans and with help from the media he can carry on the charade for a while longer. But I’ll bet there are local golf pros in your town right now who could beat him.Tiger shot an 85 – his worst round as a pro – in The Memorial Tournament this past weekend as tournament host Jack Nicklaus looked on. Kudos to the honesty of Dottie Pepper, who during the broadcast commented after Woods shot a 70 that it was fool’s gold and if he couldn’t hit the fairways, he wouldn’t be able to sustain a good score. She was right.Everyone great in sports takes a fall as they get older, from Muham-mad Ali to Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle to Mike Tyson, Michael Jordan and Babe Ruth. It might be a slower process for some, but I’ve been around long enough to say Tiger will never contend again. I keep hearing Nicklaus won a Masters at 46. Yeah, but he didn’t shoot many 85s or miss the cut like Tiger. It’s over folks, but it was fun while it lasted.

North could easily have been talking about himself in that paragraph.

Why does he need to include his resume at the end?

At least he was talking about sports, and not trying to be Rush Limbaugh.
